Crawlerbasher's Cooking Guide 1/2

[Crawlerbasher]

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.

Sweet Rice Cake (99) still reallllly expensive? I remember i put down atleast 2mil on this recipe back in the day.

Red Curry (100) This is a easy recipe today imo. On my server there is usually alot of Dragon Meat and they just 20-30k each VS 400-500k as they were when I was skilling up my Cooking to 100.

Anyway GL to all cooks out there. And DO get the KI from Guild so you can make sushi, cakes and such

[FoxtheSly]

I stopped at 95 cooking about 4 years ago because I never saw much point in taking it further. Maybe one of these days I'll get the last 5 levels for lulz.

[Mike]

Thanks for posting this...

[Effilil]

good guide
most of those are recipes I used to get cooking up to 95....I only stopped due to high cost of the last 5 points, but with dragon meat dropped in price, and easier to obtain, I might finish to 100 after the crisis is over in Japan
