Can food increase my stats?

Hello,

I know about Bespin Port and Ryollian Cake, but I was not sure if these will assist weaponsmith or just general artisan crafting? If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great. Also do you need 20 extra points in Experimentation and 25 in Assembly to max out?

Thanks

They increase the exp/ass rolls for whatever you're crafting, not specific to any type of crafting.

As for tapes, 20/25 will get you 12 points and max assembly rolls (this is the typical route), but technically you can do 25/25 for slightly better experimentation rolls as well
