Cooking

The Cooking skill allows you to prepare consumables which can give temporary skilling boosts. Some recipes are simple (like cooking fish) while others are more complex, requiring many materials. With higher cooking levels, you'll have access to more cooking ingredients, better recipes, and special skilling equipment that can boost your cooking efficiency. You can also receive cooking chests as a rare drop from training this skill.

Activities

The following activities can be done indefinitely without needing materials. Some have equipment requirements in order to start the activity.

For activities involving two skills, the player is only eligible to earn chests in skills that have actual level requirements.

So, if the activity has a cooking level requirement, it will be eligible to drop Cooking Chests.

When performing an activity for a skill, only the primary skill is factored in for the player's equipment bonuses, the "2nd Skill" will also be affected by the equipment attributes based toward the "1st Skill" (IE: +1 Exp will apply to the "2nd Skill" as well).

The following activities are eligible to drop Cooking Chests.

Recipes

The following activities are through recipes and thus require materials in order to complete. Additionally, they may have Service Requirements, usually in the form of a service location. All recipes produce one of the final products by default.

The following activities are eligible to drop Cooking Chests.
