Cooking

How to Cook
You will need to use a stove in your house to begin cooking. A cooking utensil can be crafted from a toolshop, purchased from inn's, or purchased from the marketplace.

After you have acquired a cooking utensil open the cooking window. This window will allow you to select items to cook as well as give you a list of dishes with the dishes you have created before highlighted. The recipe list will not tell you the ingredients for items you have not prepared before.

You always have to put in the required amount of ingredients for 1 cooking attempt. If you want to cook the recipe multiple times you'll have to use the continuous production button.

Starting a Cooking Quest Line
Once you are in Velia if you have enabled the ability to see all quests (check Quests for information on how to see all quests), you can enter the Inn next to  Igor Bartali and talk to the NPC's behind the counter in the corner. You can start a quest line for cooking which can get you started with cooking. This quest will also give you a cooking utensil for no cost.

Cooking Speed
Cooking has a base speed of 10 seconds. This speed can decrease or increase based on your gear, buffs and cooking tool. The minimum speed is 1.0 seconds. Basic setup for 1s cooking: Advanced Cooking Utensil, Canape Costume, +3 Silver Embroidered Cook's Clothes, Cron Seafood Meal, Sharp Alchemy Stone of Life.
 * Balenos Traditional Cooking Utensil +5 seconds
 * Calpheon Traditional Cooking Utensil +7 seconds
 * Advanced Cooking Utensil -1 second
 * Canape Costume -2 seconds
 * Silver Embroidered Cook's Clothes -1 to -7 seconds (based on enhancement level)
 * Teff Bread -0.3s or Teff Sandwich -0.5s or Cron Seafood Meal -0.6s (don't stack with one another)
 * Life Spirit Stone or Alchemy Stone of life -0.5s to -2.5s based on grade.
 * Verdure Draught -1.0s

Note: Due to the connection speed your actual cooking time will always be around 2-4ms more, even at 1.0s theoretical cooking speed.

Amounts
For all recipes/designs you can use the general substitution rules:
 * 1 ingredient of green grade can be replaced by 2-3 white grade ingredients and vice versa.
 * 1 ingredient of blue grade can be replaced by 3-5 white grade ingredients and vice versa.
 * 1 fresh fish can be replaced by 2 dried white fishes and vice versa. (all dried fish appear white but retain the quality they had before drying, 1 dried fish that was a green one before drying will count as 1 fresh fish)
