Cooking

How to cook

Use a cast iron oven to open the cooking window. The window stays open while you stand next to the oven. The old ovens in houses don't cook; for your own house, buy a cast iron oven kit from Chef Laurent for 5,000 gold and use it to set the oven up.

The window shows every recipe you have learned, sorted into Soups & stews, Meat & eggs, Fish, Salads and Feasts, with how many of each you can make from what you carry. Cook one or a whole batch at once. Cooking is free and instant, and the dishes go into your backpack, or onto the floor if they don't fit.

Every dish can burn. The chance is 5% at cooking level 10 and falls by 0.05% a level, down to 1% at level 90. A burned dish loses its ingredients, except crystalbloom petals and elderward amber, which you keep.

The Cooking skill

Cooking starts at level 10 and goes up to 100. You see it in your Skills window under Fishing. Every dish pays 10 + (recipe level² ÷ 10) experience:

• A recipe 20 or more levels below your cooking level pays half.
• A burned dish pays a quarter.
• The first dish of each recipe you ever cook pays four times, once.

Learning recipes

Chef Laurent teaches you Garden broth for free (ask him about broth), and his lessons teach you Eggs and bacon. Every other recipe comes on a recipe scroll. Use the scroll to learn the recipe for good; you need the recipe's cooking level to learn it.

Scroll	Recipes of cooking level	Chef Laurent's price
Green recipe scroll	25	2,000 gold
Blue recipe scroll	45	8,000 gold
Red recipe scroll	65	25,000 gold
Gold recipe scroll	85	75,000 gold

To buy one, say the colour to Laurent, then the dish you want.

Eating dishes

Eat a dish like any food. Most dishes give a bonus for a while, and you can have one dish of each family running at a time: one soup, one salad, one omelette and so on, side by side. A second dish of a family that is still running is refused.

• A running dish survives death and logging out, and keeps counting down while you are offline.
• Resistances, dodging and the protection from Eggs and bacon only work against monsters.
• Eggs and bacon protects you against one random group of monsters: dragons, arachnids and insects, humans, lizards and serpents, sea creatures, elementals, undead, demons, bosses, humanoids or beasts. Eat another while it runs to roll a different group, up to three in all; the time doesn't restart.
• Chef's glazed ribs, Deepwater stew and Gourmet seafood feast work at once and take no family slot. The stew and the feast work once each per server day, until the next server save.
• Level 45 dishes need character level 50 to eat, level 65 dishes level 80, and level 85 dishes level 100.
• Say !dishes to see what is running and for how long.

Chef Laurent and Fisherman Doug

Chef Laurent

Teaches cooking

Sells the cast iron oven kit (5,000 gold), recipe scrolls and vegetable seeds: carrot, potato, onion, garlic and chili seeds for 200 gold, tomato, corn and pumpkin seeds for 500.

Buys every dish, for 15 to 800 gold by its level, and every sale also earns you a tenth of the dish's cooking experience.

Fisherman Doug

Buys every fish

Sells the copper fishing rod and buys your fish. See Fishing.

A Taste of the Realms. From level 8, ask Chef Laurent for a lesson. He sends you to Doug for a rod and six fish, then has you sell one, grow carrots and potatoes (he lends a knife and watering can if you have none), and hunt 2 fatty meat and 2 bird eggs. He then teaches Garden broth and Eggs and bacon and lets you cook one of each, Eggs and bacon even below its level. At the end you get 68 carrots, 68 potatoes, 34 blue cod and a Garden salad recipe scroll.

His daily task. After the lessons, ask Laurent for a task: cook 10 of a recipe you know, from your cooking level down to 20 levels below it. You keep the dishes, and he pays twenty dishes' worth of experience and the ingredients for two more. A new task is ready 20 hours after the last.
