>>What do these merchants do exactly? How should we prepare for them? Soovie works on food wands, should we try to get a food wand unlocked and upgraded in time? Would we need any special item for Sestiva, or will a basic cooking pot/pan/skillet from Hunka's Burning Love do?<<

Both Soovie and Sestiva were gracious enough to take time out from their pursuit of creating and perfecting their recipes to answer your questions.

Soovie will create new custom food and drinks, alter food wands, add food and drink items to food wands, and if necessary turn a plain (unscripted) item INTO a food wand. All of these options have their own pricing involved and Soovie is the one to dictate how little or how much he is willing to do in a session. Turning an item into a food wand would be extremely expensive and cost thousands of plats. Creating a custom food or drink would be hundreds of plats.

Sestiva will create new custom food and drink, alter cookware of the type that is sold at her shop Hunka's Burning Love, and upgrade cookware to become magical cookware that creates either a custom or existing food and drink. Sestiva's pricing will be in the hundreds of plats range and she will not turn just anything into cookware. She will expect you to buy something from her shop if you don't already have your own cookware.
