Obtaining the skill

Has anyone got it just from cooking? I've cooked at least a hundred dishes and not got it.

Supposedly the chance is extremely low. I've heard its as low as 1/1000. But those are just stories, right?

It could be today...it could be a week from now...could be even a year. It is possible to get it, but it's a low chance. Much like Encore/Elemental Wave/Snap Cast, it may take thousands of usage before you even learn it :c...I learn it on an alt just making daily food...kinda regret it.

A friend of mine got it at while training Tasting. It took until rank 2 with no double training from talents (so it was 2x training because of event). I overheard two other people saying they were rank 1 and rank 2 Tasting with no Catering yet, but I have no information on whether they were chef talent or not.

100 dishes definitely is not enough. 1/1000 sounds about right.

I found the skill tucked away in my skills list (2+ on-screen announcements at once = first is lost) but it can't have been more than a day or two since i received it, making around 600 dishes prepared before receiving the skill.

And some made over a thousand, some made like maybe 5(me).

Safe to say there is no exact number for it.

Well there's clearly a set percentage. Just because you got it in 5 tries doesn't debunk a very low percentage... you just got mind-bogglingly lucky. However, this rate is so low, it's way too difficult to test. I doubt we'll ever get an exact percentage like with the critical cap.

Agreed. Perhaps a qualitative word to that effect, like "minute"?
