If you grew up watching Iron Chef, or still watch it, you will slice
and dice your way through class="misspell" suggestions="Ion,Anion,Alon,Aron,Avon">Aion. 
Most people use a great sword, you use a kitchen knife. 
Cooking brings
some amazingly simple, and yet, amazingly potent buffs to the
table. 
You can have one food and one drinking buff active at any given
time. 
Sure, you can buy these though a class="misspell" suggestions="NC,NP,PC,NYC,NBC">NPC,
but not only is it expensive but inferior!  Join us in our
cooking adventures as we slice and dice our way to gourmet status.



Cooking
is one of the less expensive trades if you're going for the most sought
after items, but don't let that fool you.  It can cost upwards
of 2,000
in just store bought materials to make one dish, and you'll be making a
lot of dishes to skill up later.  So don't think this is a
free ride to
400 if you harvested some fish.  Sushi has a lot of other
ingredients
too!



Since cooking has a high potential for high quality
results, expect this to take more time than other trade
skills.  Note
that this will be portrayed from the class="misspell"
suggestions="Aston,Osman,Astern,Smetana,Eastman">Asmodean
side of things, but you can always substitute your class="misspell" suggestions="Ely's,Elyse,Eloy's,Ellis,Elly's">Elyos
version of these if something doesn't add up when you're following my
guides.  I've written these for ease of use in the
materials.  If you
want to work order your way to the top, be my guest!  However,
this a
more efficient way about it, and the work order bonuses from cooking
are absolute garbage.  You'll get 5 of the same recipe easily
if you
try to work order through a tier and no one wants them.


1-30 

It's simple if you have some cash or powder.  Convert Aether
Powder into suggestions="Coined,Coned,Confide,Candie,Conned">Conide
and roast that over an open fire for half an hour.  Of course,
you'll
need the DP to do the conversion, so I recommend you do it as you level
somewhere.  Level 1 of DP can convert 20 powder into 30 class="misspell"
suggestions="coined,coned,confide,Candie,conned">conide. 
Take this all the way until it's grey.  From there, it's an
easy transition into suggestions="Piggery,Perjury,Purer,Query,Papery">Pujery
from the lakes around suggestions="Altered,Alkaid,Altaic,Edgard,Alleged">Altgard.



30-50

Curry for everyone!  class="misspell" suggestions="Ray dam,Ray-dam,Radium,Adam,Radar">Raydam
is a useless memory of your times before class="misspell"
suggestions="Devoid,David,Devalued,Devoted,Deadhead">Daevahood,
and is almost always dirt cheap.  Pick up a massive stack of
it, or if
you have to, fire up a new alt and harvest it in droves since no one
else really touches it.  class="misspell" suggestions="Ray dam,Ray-dam,Radium,Adam,Radar">Raydam
Curry is wonderful for melee classes looking to grind on higher level
targets early on, so assassins and gladiators love it.


50-70

Boiling suggestions="Kramer,Grimier,Grimmer,Crime,Grime">Krimer
is where it's at.   The class="misspell" suggestions="mag es,mag-es,mags,Mag's,Magus">mages
all love magic boost, and clerics will even use it when soloing since
their offense is primarily magical.  It's one of the primary
targets of
most people leveling Vitality Extraction, so it should be in abundance
but if you need to farm it yourself, you can find it and class="misspell"
suggestions="Tombolas,Automobiles,Tombola's,Temblors,Tumbles">Otombliss
in northwest suggestions="Altered,Alkaid,Altaic,Edgard,Alleged">Altgard. 
Cooking this will get you to 70 easily.


70-99

Did you follow my vitality extraction guide?  If so, you
probably have everything you need for this.  class="misspell" suggestions="Hort,Hoot,Horton,Hot,Hart">Horto
from suggestions="Brazening">Brusthonin
is our ticket to finishing off this tier, and it's everywhere in the
southern farmlands near camp if you forgot.  Prices should be
dirt
cheap if you have to buy it since people will go after it for the
repeatable quest.  The actual food itself isn't half bad
either, as
everyone wants to run around with more HP in the Abyss or even in
general.  Broil away!




Cooking is one of those trades that is wonderfully easy to level, but
you don't get a lot out of it until later.  Soon we'll be
getting into
the special recipes that provide double effects, and a lot of them are
highly sought after.  Those are your main money makers in
Cooking, and
unfortunately you have to work hard to get there.  Or is it
hardly
working when you're just making food from the trash of the Broker and
remains from your Vitality Extraction career?  That's up to
you. 
100-200 is coming up next, so look forward to it!
