Cooking
This page is up to date (v1.3.1). |
Cooking is used to turn raw fish and crops into edible food. Although produce such as Potatoes harvested while
can be used as raw food, cooked food is substantially stronger, with even low level fish such as Sardines healing more than Snape Grass, the strongest raw crop in the base game.
Mechanics
Action Time
The amount of time taken to cook food varies depending on the item being cooked. Purchasing the
god upgrade reduces this time by 15%, as does wearing the Cooking Skillcape. Up to a 5% reduction can be obtained from
(
). The
and
obstacles both reduce cooking time by 3%. Using the
and
synergy will reduce this by a further 0.3 seconds, and wearing the Chef's Hat reduces it by another 0.1 seconds. The maximum interval reduction possible in the base game is therefore 41% plus 0.4 seconds (where the flat reduction is applied after the percentage reduction). The Throne of the Herald Expansion introduces further reductions to the cooking time: The Superior Cooking Skillcape reduces the cooking interval by 25% - a 10% advantage over the Cooking Skillcape. The
and Eagle synergy provides a 10% reduction, which is a greater reduction than
and
for any food with a base cooking time of over 3 seconds. Agility has a number of reductions, with
,
, and
providing reductions of 10%, 5%, and 3% respectively. A 5% reduction is granted while the Mortar and Pestle is equipped. Purchasing the Augite Furnace and Palladium Pot each provide a 2% reduction, while the Carrion Cooking Fire provides 3%. Finally, Harold provides a 2% reduction when unlocked. Therefore, the maximum interval reduction possible with the expansion is 93% plus 0.1 seconds. The passive cooking interval may also be reduced by up to 40% when the Multicooker Potion is used (depending on the tier of potion used), and by 15% while the
and Beaver synergy is in use. Bonuses reducing the active cooking time also reduce the passive cooking time, where active reductions are applied before bonuses specifically reducing the passive cooking time. The passive cooking time of a recipe is determined as follows:
[math]\displaystyle{ \left ( \text{Base Action Time} \times \frac{100 - \text{Active Reduction %}}{100} - \text{Flat Active Reduction} \right ) \times 5 \times \frac{100 - \text{Passive Reduction %}}{100} }[/math]
Cooking Utilities
Cooking utilities can be purchased from the Shop if the player has the required skill levels. Cooking chance can be increased by 10% by equipping Cooking Gloves with active charges. Cooking fires increase the amount of
experience gained, while furnaces and pots increase the chance of acquiring double items when actively cooking. In addition, all utilities provide additional chance to perfectly cook items. Bonuses granted from upgrading utilities apply when cooking on any utility. For example, if the player has upgraded to the
, then the 25% bonus
experience is granted even when actively cooking with the furnace or pot. The one exception to this is increases to the perfect cooking chance, which only apply to the utility providing the bonus.
Cooking Fires
Furnaces
Pots
Passive Cooking
While one utility is actively cooking food, the other two can also passively cook to produce food. This will not grant any
or skill XP, takes five times longer than actively cooking the same recipe, and has no chance of preserving resources, doubling items or perfect cooking, however has no negative effects on the active utility. Passive Cooking also has a 100% chance of success even when the
+
synergy is active.
Perfect Cook
Food that is actively cooked has a chance to be "perfectly cooked," giving the item 10% increased healing and 50% increased sale value. This chance starts at 0%, and is increased by 5% every 10 mastery levels, 50% at 99 mastery, 2% by the Cooking Skillcape and 3% from upgrading the appropriate cooking utility. The maximum chance is 100%.
Perfectly cooked items cannot be used in place of regular cooked food when creating things such as Summoning tablets or Agility obstacles. For this reason, players may opt out from receiving perfectly cooked items by using the "Enable Perfect Cooks?" option near the top of the Cooking page.
Failed Cook
There is a base 30% chance for cooking attempts to fail, which can be reduced via
down to 0%. There is also a 25% chance to fail a cooking attempt with the
and
synergy. If a cooking attempt fails the player will only receive 1 XP, and unless preserved the ingredients will be lost.
