Cooking Guide

Cooking
The Cooking skill is used to cook raw food for a number of reasons, including restoring life points and the temporary boosting of skill levels. There are many different types of food in Hydrascape, each healing a certain amount of life points. However, as with all skills, players must reach certain levels to cook various types of foods. Cooking can often generate a small profit as many players are willing to purchase food already cooked, especially those who cannot actually prepare higher level foods. Cooking also has a larger variety of training options than any other skill.

Equipment/Items
The piece of equipment involved in Cooking are the Cooking Gauntlets, which provide a greater amount of experience upon cooking foods. Cooking Gauntlets can be bought at the Crafting Guild for a fee of 5,000,000 gold coins or earned from completion of the quest "Cook's Assistant". The items that are involved in cooking are raw foods, each of which require a different level to be cooked and give a different amount of experience. Higher level foods heal more health than foods, and give more experience when cooked.

Locations
There is nearly no limit to what locations Cooking can be trained at as raw food can be cooked on a fire. Raw food can also be cooked on a Range, and neither has a substantial benefit over one another, except the fact that fires go out after a certain amount of time. An exception to this is an unlimited fire, such as the one at the Donator Zone.

Related Activities
Some activities that are related to Cooking are Fishing, as it is what supplies raw food. Fishing is its own separate skill, and can be highly profitable when combined with Cooking as there is a significant demand for high-leveled food (such as Rocktails).

Benefits
The benefits of having a higher level in Cooking is that you are able to cook higher level foods which heal a greater amount of health.
