Cooking turns raw ingredients into food at roast pits. It pairs naturally with Fishing and gives strong XP per action, making it one of the faster skills to level.
Training
Cook at a roast pit (about 10 seconds per batch). Roast pits are found at The Pond and in Whisperwood.
| Ingredient | Fuel | Makes | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fish | None | Cooked Fish Meat | Traveling Merchant gold ingredient (30 per gold exchange) |
| Raw Chicken + Wood | Wood | Cooked Chicken | Tames Wild Wolves into a Wolf Mount |
Each batch gives 125 Cooking XP.
EXP rates
Default Cooking: 125 EXP per batch (1 batch every 10 seconds)
| Time period | EXP gained |
|---|---|
| Per minute | 125 × 6 = 750 EXP |
| Per hour | 750 × 60 = 45,000 EXP |
| Per day | 45,000 × 24 = 1,080,000 EXP |
Cooking has the highest guaranteed EXP per hour of any gathering skill. See EXP Calculator for a full comparison.
Why cook
- Cooked Fish Meat is one of the five materials required by the Traveling Merchant for Gold (30 per exchange).
- Cooked Chicken tames Wild Wolves into a Wolf Mount — the only mount obtained through feeding rather than combat or fishing.
- Cook next to Fishing at The Pond to train both skills simultaneously.
- Cooking gives 45,000 XP per hour — the highest of any gathering skill and one of the best ways to raise Total Level quickly.
