Welcome
Hello, my name is Crawlerbasher of Remora.
And my cooking is at 100, it’s been so long since I had cooking at low level, but I hope that you find this guide useful.
Some tips before we start.
First of all Region Sellers NPC are your friends, use them to get ingredients, that would cost you more if you got it from the Auction House.
Also woodworking to synth Maple Sugar and Bonecraft to make Gelatine, will come in handy, as you will sometimes need to make them yourself, if the region is not in control of an area, or the nation that sells it, is not in 1st place.
Also Fishing is great if you plan to make sushi, as this will make it easier for you to compete on the market.
Also you should learn raw fish handling skills ASAP as sushi is a good Gil maker.
Anyway, good luck with your crafting and I do hope that my Guide as been of some use to you.
