Cooking

Cooking UI

Cooking is a skill that allows raw ingredients be cooked into edible food. Players can add up to 5 ingredients into the pot by interacting with them in ingredients window on the right and then using heat to cook them.

Food has a chance to burn, depending on the player's effective cooking level, resulting in either burnt food or burnt fish depending on the type of ingredients used. Effective cooking level and the amount of ingredients used also effects the level of food produced, which directly affects the amount of buff stacks the food will have. By leveling cooking, the player is able to cook better foods that give increased healing and better buffs.

Uses

• Recover health by eating food out of combat
• Food can be placed in the combat inventory to recover health during combat.

  - Combat buffs are only applied when food is eaten during combat.

• Can be used to obtain various buffs that help in other skills such as foraging, mining, etc.
• Cooking fish has a chance to produce fish oil which can be used in the crafting skill to create pyre logs.

Fish Oil Chance

Image	Fish	Chance*
	Raw Shrimp	5%
	Raw Anchovy	5%
	Raw Trout	10%
	Raw Salmon	10%
	Raw Lobster	15%
	Raw Tuna	15%
	Raw Shark	20%

*Per fish used. For example, cooking with 1 Raw Shark and 1 Raw Tuna results in a 35% chance, while cooking with 5 Raw Sharks will result in a 100% chance to receive fish oil.

Determining Produced Food

Ingredients

The first part to understanding how the game determines the resulting food produced is to understand the ingredients. Each ingredient has "Categories" or "Tags", size, heat, exp, buff.

Tags

Denotes which category or categories they belong to.

• Some ingredients can have multiple tags. (e.g. an apple is both a fruit and a sweetener)
• The value of a tag is always equal to the size of the ingredient.
• There are 13 tags in total:
  • Fruit
  • Vegetable
  • Grain
  • Dairy
  • Eggs
  • Meat
  • Beast
  • Poultry
  • Fish
  • Monster
  • Spice
  • Sweetener
  • Preservative

Size

Used to calculate difficulty and tag value. This affects everything from bonuses to how long it takes to cook the dish.

XP

The amount of experience gained per ingredient when cooked.

Heat

The amount of heat used per ingredient when cooked.

Buff

Some ingredients will apply buffs to dishes when they’re used. If more than 1 unique buff ingredient is used, it will always result in questionable food. Buffs are also always applied at level 2, and cannot be increased or decreased. This stacks with existing enchants from sources such as armor, e.g. if the player has 3 gathering scrolls on their ring, eating a dish with gathering 2 will have the effect of gathering 5.

Recipes

Recipes are pre-determined dishes that require certain ingredients to create, each having their own unique properties. These are stored in an in-game database that it compares chosen ingredients to in order to determine which recipe will be the result. Each recipe has these properties:

ID

The order in the recipe list within the game’s code. This is important when selecting recipes that fit the chosen ingredients.

HP

The base value that this dish will heal, without considering ingredients or bonuses.

Value

How much gold a dish can be vendored for.

Ingredient Tags

What ingredient types are required to cook the dish, e.g. the Birdie Pasta recipe has the poultry and grain tags, meaning a raw chicken and rice would create this recipe.

Resulting Dish

The resulting dish is determined by the ingredients and the size of each ingredient type.

1. The categories of the ingredients matches a recipe in the in-game recipe database.
2. The size of ingredient categories in the recipe that is used by the recipe.
3. The size of ingredient categories in the recipe that is NOT used by the recipe.
4. If the categories of the ingredients matches more than one recipe, the ID of the recipes.

In order for a recipe to be valid, the categories of the ingredients must match against a recipe in the in-game recipe database. Additionally, the total size of categories not used by the recipe must not be greater than the total size of ingredients used by the recipe. If the categories of the ingredients matches more than one recipe, the result will be the recipe with the lowest ID. If all recipes in the in-game recipe database is invalidated, Questionable Food will be produced.

If a player attempts to cook the Seafood Curry recipe with 2x Raw Shark and 2x Ashes, the total size of each ingredient category are:

Ingredient	Quantity	Size	Category	Total Size
Raw Shark	2	4	Fish, Meat	8
Ashes	2	3	Grain, Spice	6

The above recipe is determined by the following:

1. The ingredients matches the following recipes: Seared Fish, Sushi, Seafood Curry.
2. The total size of ingredients for Seared Fish [Fish] is 8. The total size of unused ingredients [Meat, Grain, Spice] is 20. Therefore, this recipe is not valid.
3. The total size of ingredients for Sushi [Fish, Grain] is 14. The total size of unused ingredients [Meat, Spice] is 14. Therefore, this recipe is valid.
4. The total size of ingredients for Seafood Curry [Fish, Grain, Spice] is 20. The total size of unused ingredients [Meat] is 8. Therefore, this recipe is valid.
5. The ID for Sushi is 2107. The ID for Seafood Curry is 2137. Because the ID of Sushi is lower than Seafood Curry, Sushi is created.

If the player decides to add 1x Carrot into the same recipe as above:

Ingredient	Quantity	Size	Category	Total Size
Raw Shark	2	4	Fish, Meat	8
Ashes	2	3	Grain, Spice	6
Carrot	1	1	Vegetable	1

The above recipe is determined by the following:

1. The ingredients matches the following recipes: Seared Fish, Sushi, Grilled Veggies, Kebab, Seafood Curry.
2. The total size of ingredients for Seared Fish [Fish] is 8. The total size of unused ingredients [Meat, Grain, Spice, Vegetable] is 21. Therefore, this recipe is not valid.
3. The total size of ingredients for Sushi [Fish, Grain] is 14. The total size of unused ingredients [Meat, Spice, Vegetable] is 15. Therefore, this recipe is not valid.
4. The total size of ingredients for Grilled Veggies [Vegetable] is 1. The total size of unused ingredients [Meat, Fish, Grain, Spice] is 28. Therefore, this recipe is not valid.
5. The total size of ingredients for Kebab [Meat, Vegetable] is 9. The total size of unused ingredients [Fish, Grain, Spice] is 20. Therefore, this recipe is not valid.
6. The total size of ingredients for Seafood Curry [Fish, Grain, Spice] is 20. The total size of unused ingredients [Meat, Vegetable] is 1. Therefore, this recipe is valid.
7. As Seafood Curry is the only valid recipe, Seafood Curry is created.

Food Quality

The quality of food is determined by the following formula:

${\Bigl (}\min\{Category\;1,...,Category\;n\}{\Bigr )}+\lfloor {\frac {EffectiveLevel}{30}}\rfloor -1$

The base quality of the food is determined by the lowest size of the categories used in the recipe plus additional quality bonuses from Cooking Level. Every 30 Effective Cooking levels will provide +1 Quality to food produced.

If a player attempts to cook the Seafood Curry recipe with 2x Raw Shark, 2x Ashes, and 1x Carrot, the total size of each relevant ingredient category are:

Ingredient	Quantity	Size	Category	Total Size
Raw Shark	2	4	Fish	8
Ashes	2	3	Grain, Spice	6

The quality of the produced food will be:

1. The size of Fish is 8.
2. The size of Grain is 6.
3. The size of Spice is 6.
4. The base quality of the recipe is the lowest size of the categories used. Therefore, the base quality is 6.
5. If the player's cooking level is 156, the player's cooking level grants +5 quality to the produced food.
6. 1 is deducted from the quality at the end of the formula. The result is Seafood Curry with +10 Quality.

Food Healing

The amount of HP recovered when the dish is consumed is based on the quality of food.

$(Quality+1)\times BaseHP$

Seafood Curry has a base HP value of 4. A Seafood Curry with +10 Quality will recover $(10+1)*4=44$ hitpoints.

Food Buffs

The number of stacks of buff that will be applied when a dish is consumed is determined by the following formula:

$Quality\times 2+1$

Food with buffs can be created by using special buff-granting ingredients while cooking. The buff granted is determined by the ingredient used, and if more than one buff-granting ingredient is used, the produced food will always be Questionable Food with the buff of the first buff ingredient in the pot.

Buffs

Cooking and eating food created with a few specific ingredients (see below) can give various buffs, similar to those from enchantments. The amount of buff stacks given by the food is determined by the quality of the food and players effective cooking level (base cooking level + additional modifiers such as an augmented ladle), players can hover over the cooking skill icon to see their effective level.

Identical food buffs and enchantments will stack. For example, if a player has an active 30% Inferno buff from a scroll of inferno, and a 10% inferno buff from food, they will have a total of 40%.

Food can be eaten any time out of combat to recover health, food added to the combat inventory may be used during combat. Combat buffs will only be applied if the food is eaten during combat. Combat buffs will not be kept upon exiting combat, while skill-based buffs gained from eating food in combat will be kept until used once out of combat. Non-combat buff stacks are consumed by performing an action out of combat, regardless of the type of skill being trained. I.E inferno stacks will be used even when not smithing
