How Cooking Works In Throne And Liberty

Cooking is a life skill that turns raw ingredients into meals. Meals boost combat stats, gathering luck, and regeneration. You get cooking XP when you craft a dish, with higher tiers giving more XP but costing more.

Key ideas you should know:

Quality tiers matter. Green is entry level, blue is mid tier, purple is endgame. Higher tiers need rare ingredients.
XP scales with recipe rank. Simple dishes are cheap and fast. Complex dishes are slow but give big chunks of XP.
Mastery unlocks efficiencies. As you level, you cut craft time, cut failures, and unlock batch crafting.
The market shifts. Early servers reward bulk Tier 1 food. Mature servers reward niche Tier 3 food.

From my runs, the best path mixes cheap spam crafts for XP with timed bursts of higher tier dishes when mats are cheap.

Fast Leveling Path 1–50

This path is tested to be cheap and quick. Adjust to your server economy. If prices spike, swap to the backup dish listed.

Levels 1–10:

Craft Basic Broth or Simple Bread. They use common grains or bones.
Target 80 to 120 crafts. Keep your costs under control.
Backup dish: Roasted Mushrooms if mushrooms are flooding the market.

Levels 10–20:

Switch to Grilled Whitefish or Herb Omelet. Both use easy fish and herbs.
Aim for 150 to 200 crafts. Buy in bulk during off hours.
Backup dish: Root Stew if fish prices climb.

Levels 20–30:

Move into Savory Meat Skewers or Spiced Vegetable Mix.
Start batch crafting. Use cooking tools for time cuts.
Backup dish: Honey Tea if meat is scarce.

Levels 30–40:

Craft Sturdy Soldier’s Rations or Hearty Seafood Chowder.
These give strong XP per craft. They also sell well before dungeon resets.
Backup dish: Fortifying Grain Bowl.

Levels 40–45:

Cook Blue tier entries like Sizzling Meat Platter or Fisher’s Feast.
Focus on ingredients with steady supply. Avoid rare spices unless cheap.
Backup dish: Guardian’s Porridge with farmed grains.

Levels 45–50:

Push with your best blue tier that has stable mats. Add a few purple tier dishes during price dips.
Do not overcraft purple. Use them as XP bursts when mats are cheap or self farmed.
Backup dish: Batch craft the level 40–45 option if purple mats are too pricey.

Micro tips that save time and gold:

Use food buffs that lower crafting time when you batch. The time saved adds up.
Do daily cook orders from town boards for bonus XP and coins.
Pair leveling with gathering to offset costs. Fish while queues pop. Farm herbs on route to raids.
Track your cost per XP. If a dish goes above your set threshold, swap.

Typical craft count from 1 to 50 ranges from 700 to 1,100 depending on recipe mix and server prices.

Materials And Where To Farm Them

You need a steady flow of grains, fish, meat, mushrooms, herbs, salt, sugar, and oil. Names may vary by region, but the categories hold across servers.

Best sources and routes:

Grains and roots. Farm open fields and riverbanks. Look for wide nodes you can sweep in a loop. Replant or switch channels if your loop is crowded.
Fish. Use basic rods near calm water. Night cycles often lower competition. Small fish are perfect for mid tier recipes.
Meat. Hunt common beasts near starter zones. Fast respawns and short routes beat rare mobs for volume.
Mushrooms. Check shaded forest paths. Rotate three to four clusters per loop.
Herbs and spices. Follow hill ridges and sunny clearings. These nodes respawn slow, so shuttle between two areas.
Sugar, salt, and oil. Buy from vendors in major towns or grab from guild facilities if discounts apply.

Gathering tips from practice:

Use simple gathering gear for speed rather than rare luck gear while leveling cooking.
Save rare spices and oils for purple dishes or sell them to fund your bulk crafts.
Keep a small ingredient bank. Stock two to three session’s worth so price swings do not stall you.

If your server has dynamic weather or time effects, plan fishing during bonus windows, and gather herbs when spawn rates rise after storms.

Profit, Costs, And Market Tips

Cooking can make steady gold if you sell what players need right now. Early wipe? Sell cheap stamina food in stacks. Midgame raids? Sell blue tier buff meals.

Pricing playbook:

Track cost per dish. Count mats plus vendor items. Add a small labor value.
Price in stacks of 10 or 20. Players buy in bulk before dungeons.
List right before peak play windows. Reprice after one hour if stale.
Avoid dead stock. If a dish does not move in a day, cut price or cook a different dish.

High demand dishes through a season:

Early levels. Simple Bread, Broth, and Roasted Mushrooms.
Midgame farms. Meat Skewers, Grain Bowls, Fisher’s Feast.
Raid nights. Blue tier buff meals and regen food.
PvP hours. Foods with stamina and sustain.

Risk control:

Never overcraft purple foods unless you have buyers. Test with three to five first.
Hedge by selling raw mats if margins flip.
Watch patch notes. If a dish gets rebalanced, move your stock fast.

On fresh servers, I often recoup 60 to 80 percent of leveling costs by selling mid tier foods. On mature servers, focus on niche buffs and timed listings for better margins.

Daily Routines And Efficient Rotations

A simple plan keeps you moving and saves hours each week.

Morning reset plan:

Check market for cheap fish, grains, and herbs. Buy if below your cost per dish.
Pick up town board cook orders. Complete fast ones first.
Run a 15 minute gather loop for mushrooms and roots.

Queue time plan:

Fish while in dungeon or PvP queues. Keep a small bait stack ready.
Craft during downtime with batch tools to clear your mats.

Pre-raid plan:

Cook raid foods two hours before peak time.
List in stacks and park a few in guild storage.
Set alerts to reprice at top of the hour.

Weekly plan:

One long gather session to stock base mats.
One profit check to drop slow movers and swap recipes.
One test batch of new dishes to find fresh demand.

Advanced Tips, Mistakes To Avoid, And Quality Of Life

What I learned the hard way:
– Do not chase rare recipes for leveling. Their XP per gold is poor.
– Do not hold large stock after a balance patch. Sell fast or pivot.
– Do not ignore vendor costs. Salt, sugar, and oil add up.

Pro moves that help:

Use cooking tools or facility buffs when you batch craft large volumes.
Tie cooking level goals to content goals. For example, get to a tier that unlocks your raid foods by midweek.
Keep a spreadsheet or quick note for cost per dish, XP per craft, and sale price. A 10 second log saves thousands over time.

Quality of life:

Set hotkeys for craft repeat and quick deposit to storage.
Sort storage by ingredient type so you can batch pick.
Keep two go-to recipes per tier so you can swap if prices move.
