Cook Tree Description
The Cook profession allows players to create nourishing meals, beverages, and potions that grant a variety of effects. Cooks use both common and rare ingredients, employing basic field techniques and advanced facilities such as ovens, magical stoves, and alchemy kitchens. Meals and drinks crafted by cooks can restore health, boost attributes, and support the party’s morale or special resistances. Many recipes require reliable heat, water, or special sources, and some may require unique ingredients only available through hunting, gathering, or purchase. Material costs and recipe access may vary depending on the vendor or your standing with a faction.
Application:
- Prepare rations and meals that restore health and provide buffs.
- Bake, ferment, and craft foods with magical or cultural effects.
- Brew restorative and enhancing beverages.
- Gather, hunt, or purchase materials for use in cooking.
- Use kitchen implements, ovens, and open fires as required by recipe.
- All crafting requires the necessary materials and tools (see table).
