Cooking

Cooking is a craft skill used to create food, meals, and consumables, often as part of roleplay, provisioning, or events. While it offers limited mechanical advantages, it plays a meaningful role in immersion, social settings, and some quest or plan requirements.

Overview

• Cooking allows you to create food items using raw ingredients gathered from the world.
• While most cooking products are cosmetic or flavorful in nature, some recipes are required for Cooking Craft Plans.

Mechanics

• Requires the Cook Training feat to access the full potential of cooking recipes.
• Can be trained by crafting any recipe available in the cooking menu.
• Higher skill levels unlock more advanced dishes and gourmet options.
• Some crafted meals may be used for light healing or small buffs, but are not always competitive with alchemy or magic in combat scenarios.

Mastercraft Cooking

• Cooking supports Master Craftsman, though most items created at this tier are used for flavor and presentation rather than power.
• Useful primarily in roleplay taverns, events, or themed gatherings.

Uses

• Roleplay provisioning (feasts, taverns, holiday meals).
• Creating items for Cooking Craft Plans.
• Providing food-themed decor and immersion for houses, events, or festivals.

Notes

• Food created through cooking has no stacking benefits with magical consumables.
• Cooking is often paired with Farming, Herbalism or Fishing for access to fresh ingredients.
• This is a craft-focused skill and is not viable for combat characters without roleplay or thematic justification.
