Cook

The Cook is a manufacturing Life Skill that allows the player to create food and beverages, and sharpen weapons. Players can learn the skill by purchasing it from a Cook Shifu. Upon learning the skill, the player will receive the title Cooking Novice and can perform the Cook Daily Task. To use the Life Skill, the player must have a slice, turner or spoon in their backpack, a learned recipe and the necessary ingredients.

As any manufacturing skill it can be raised by applying it (in this case either cooking food or making beverages) or by playing the "match 3" game up to 12 times a day against a Cook Shifu.

Learning the Life Skill

The Cook profession can be learned as either a primary manufacturing skill or a secondary manufacturing skill from a Cook Shifu located in all major cities. Players who have already learned two other manufacturing skills cannot learn Cook until they abandon one of the Life Skills.

Primary

If the player has not learned a manufacturing Life Skill yet, they can learn Cook as a primary manufacturing skill for 500 Wen Silver Coin. The primary manufacturing skill can be leveled up to rank 10 (Epic).

Secondary

If the player has already learned a different manufacturing Life Skill, they can learn Cook as a secondary manufacturing skill after leveling their primary manufacturing skill to rank 9 (Legendary) and paying 200 Liang Tael. The secondary manufacturing skill can only be leveled up to rank 9 (Legendary).

Daily Tasks

The Daily Task can be started by talking to the Apprentice NPC standing next to Cook Shifu and can be done once per day. Reaching a new Life Skill rank will allow the player to complete an additional Daily Task for the day.
