Overview

Cooking as it’s commonly known (or Chef as its officially known) is one of the quickest and easiest crafts to level. It was incredibly cheap (contrary to many guides) and can be leveled to 400 in around 30 minutes when you have the ingredients prepared.

Chefs can create foods which grant temporary, yet powerful combat buffs that are useful for all professions. They’re also able to make various dyes that can be used on armour.  There isn’t huge money to be made by being a Chef, but it’s a self-sufficient craft that really does provide some excellent solo benefits.

Please note: It is always recommend that you place Buy Orders for crafting ingredients. This will take a period of time to gather them all, but will save you money.
