Cooking is used to turn raw fish and crops into edible food. Although produce such as Potatoes harvested while

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

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

The amount of time taken to cook food varies depending on the item being cooked. Purchasing the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Art of Control

god upgrade reduces this time by 15%, as does wearing the Cooking Skillcape. Up to a 5% reduction can be obtained from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Vale

(

). The

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Burning Coals

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Sweltering Pools

obstacles both reduce cooking time by 3%. Using the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Salamander

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig

and Eagle synergy provides a 10% reduction, which is a greater reduction than

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Salamander

for any food with a base cooking time of over 3 seconds. Agility has a number of reductions, with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Freezing Rafting

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Monkey Trail

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Elite Pillar of Expertise

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig

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]

Passive Cooking

While one utility is actively cooking food, the other two can also passively cook to produce food. This will not grant any

Mastery

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

+

Mole

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

down to 0%. There is also a 25% chance to fail a cooking attempt with the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig

and

Mole

synergy. If a cooking attempt fails the player will only receive 1 XP, and unless preserved the ingredients will be lost.

Skill Boosts

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:

  • Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
  • Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
  • Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
  • Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
  • Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.

For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.
