Cooking

Click here to see cooking resources

Welcome to the cooking section. Before starting in this guide you should make sure you have the cooking gauntlets. To get these you need to complete the Family Crest Quest. All the times in this guide are for cooks wearing these gauntlets. If you choose not to wear the gauntlets then your levelling times will be a lot slower and you will waste a lot of potential cooking XP as a result.

As a rule of thumb *Don't start cooking a new type of fish until you have either run out of lower level ones or you are at least ten levels higher than that which you need. Cook your lower level ones first*  Otherwise you will burn too many throwing away XP. (With higher level fish you should wait even longer).

The best place to level your cooking is the rogues den which can be found in the pub basement in Burthorpe north of Taverly.

The efficient levelling method for cooking in this guide is as follows:

1-20 Shrimp, sardine and herring
20-40 Trout
40-50 Salmon
50-99 Lobsters

Click here for the fishing guide

1-20 Shrimp, sardine and herring
Simply cook everything you caught while getting to level 20 fishing, starting with the lowest level fish.

20-40 Trout
Yeah I know I broke my rule of thumb by starting trout immediately but the reason for this is that you should start FISHING trout as soon as you can as well as it is excellent XP. If you do this then you will have trout in abundance and will easily be able to afford to burn a few whilst still levelling as efficiently as possible.

50-99 Lobsters
Lobsters all the way from here if you want to level efficiently. Raw lobsters are fairly difficult to buy so you will fishing for most of your own - its slow going but the end product sells fine to combat trainers, thieves etc. This money can then be ploughed back into more expensive skills.
