Cooking shard costs, 30 minute duration, fading on death.

[Conradus]

The biggest problem is the water/fire shard cost, unlike other professions you typically make multiple food items at once, (like 10-20+). The actual ingredients are not so bad, but the shard costs (6 fire+water for one 45+ food) are much too high, on top of the shards required for the "base" ingredients like salt/oil/sauce.

I guess the same should go for alchemy potions also.

Note that alchemy gets to make its potions three at a time.
