Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yoinked from my ls's forums yet again hehehe

Cooking



Man the things I do for you guys when I'm stuck offline with my roomies playing the game. LoL

Ok now with this one, I know there are tons of alternatives so if you do what you want go for it. This just happens to be how I lvled my cooking so fast along with the advice of a friend who made it to 100 cooking in a week. ^^ Don't ask how much he spent doing it though.

Lvl 0-4
Hardboiled Eggs = Lizard Eggs + Distilled Water + Fire Crystal

Yes I know this is more expensive than making tons and tons of Roasted corn or carrot broth. But overal I think with the speed of lvling I actually saved money doing this. Especially since I had stacks of fire crystals in my moghouse. ^^

Lvl 4-11
Sliced Sardines = Bastore Sardine + Wind Crystal

Ok cheaper than you'd believe, grab a cheap rod and a sabiki rig and you'll get stacks and stacks of sardines to slice and dice. This will actually gain you a profit selling the sliced sardines.

Lvl 11 - 15
Honey = Beehive Chip x4 + Wind Crystal

Ok this one can be expensive if you don't farm your own beehive chips. Another alternative is listed below however I prefered Honey for the simple fact it stacks in your inventory.

Alternative Lvl 11-15
Roasted Mutton = Dried Majoram + Giant Sheep Meat + Fire Crystal

Lvl 15 - 20

Selbina Butter = Rock Salt + Selbina Milk + Ice Crystal

Ok chances are your gonna have to buy the crystals for this one, but its still the best synth I've found for this lvl to lvl quickly.

Alternative again no stacking joy here:

Apple Juice = Fairie Apple x4 + Water Crystal

Get Synth aid if your gonna try this one for the first few lvls.

Lvl 20-28
Pineapple Juice = Kazham Pineapple x2 + Water Crystal

Lvl 22-25

Alternatives are fun... ^^
If you happened to make stacks and stacks of selbina butter those last few lvls you can happily use them now.

Baked Popoto = Selbina Butter + Popoto + Fire Crystal

Lvl 22-29
Or grab a little synth help here and make yourself a couple million Insect Balls.

Insect Balls = Little Worm + Millicorn + Distilled Water + Earth Crystal

Now making insect balls will actually turn into one of your biggest moneymakers, whether you use them to fish up tons of Moat Carp or simply sell them to the endless fisherman through the AH and Bazaar.

Now I know you loved making those insect balls so guess what...its time to delve into the wonderful world of making bait for...so many lvls. ><;

Lvl 29-35
Meatball = Hare Meat + Distilled Water + Earth Crystal

I hope you've been remembering to take your guild tests by the way, otherwise your still capped back at lvl 10 and I'm gonna publically laugh at you. ^^

Ok at this lvl you can now start making Meat Mithrakabobs if that was your goal, However unless you can farm the ingrediants yourself these are not a cheap way to lvl your cooking skills. Cockatrice Meat alone runs about 20k in a stack.

Lvl 35-41

Again grab some synth aid here and prepare to lose lots of inventory space. Man don't you wish juice would stack?

Tomato Juice = Mithran Tomato x3 + Rock Salt + Water Crystal

Remember that venders in several cities sell tomatos much cheaper than what you'll find in AH.

Lvl 41-46

This recipe is only good folks if your farming your own dark crytals. Not as hard as it sounds actually. Grab a lvl 10 char and head into Ghelsba and hunt shrooms in that main tunnel for tons of crystal drops. Or if your bigger have fun killing Exorays and Anticans.

Grape Juice = San D'Oria Grape x4 + Dark Crystal

Lvl 46 - 52

Crayfish Balls = Crayfish x3 + Distilled Water + San D'Oria Flour + earth crystal

Again make sure to buy your flour from a vendor or your gonna be crying over how much this bait is costing you to make.

Lvl 52 - 56

Mulsum = Distilled Water + Grape Juice + Honey + Ice crystal

Ok that's as far as I've gone, LoL I'm still working on figuring out how I can raise this any further. ^^ Again alternatives abound, especially in cooking. It all depends on your farming skills and what you want to make for you job. So check out the lists of craft recipes and play around.

yah, this recipe yah made a mistake on, i was trying it out and it was a no go, you need to add some type of garlic from that place opposite of salbina.

i know i was just informing you wink

Alright.... that is a very helpful guide... but I have a very newbish question to ask. sweatdrop

How do you stack items? I get so many repeat items and it clogs up my inventory... or am I being confused >_>;
