Beginner Guide for Cooking

Learning New Recipe

Before starting cooking you need to learn recipes. To do it, you need to select a recipe in your inventory, then grab it, and hold it in front of your face for a few seconds. Small yellow progress circle will appear, after it is full, you have learnt the recipe. At the beginning you have the ‘Bake Cookie’ recipe, which you don’t need to learn. Next recipes you will get by talking to Brimm. You will find him near the exit of the city just before Fractured Plains.

Getting Ingredients

There are two ways to get ingredients. First, buy them at the stand next to Brimm. There you find things like flour, sugar or milk.

Second method is to gather them. The gatherable resources are for e.g. apples, carrots or oranges. More info you find here.

Cooking

1. Open up your menu bar and click on the pot in the bottom row of icons (red circle). It will show your list of known recipes and your proficiency at making the each one. The recipes have tiers – yellow star visible on the recipe with Basic Noodles. You need to increase tiers for picking up new quests from Brimm. Tiers are increased after making the recipe a certain number of times:
   • 5 times for tier 1,
   • 20 times for tier 2,
   • 60 times for tier 3.

2. Click “Toggle Station” to start cooking with your own private stovetop.

3. Pull the yellow power core floating above the cooking station and put it into the round spot on the front of the cooking station. Push it forward to insert into the hole.

4. Take an ingredient from the shelf. Milk and noodles need to be boiled. To make it, place your ingredient in the pot. Then, turn the knob to follow the blue line on the front of the pot for 15-20 seconds and it will “poof” with a white cloud when it is ready. Then, pick up your cooked ingredient and place it in the cauldron.
5. Vegetables and flour need to be placed in the frying pans. Some fruits and vegetables need to be chopped on the cutting board before cooking. It is necessary to toss ingredients while they are frying, otherwise they can burn. They will “poof” with white clouds when finished. Then, pick up your fried ingredient and place it in the cauldron, similar like with the cooked ones.
6. If all of the ingredients are placed into the cauldron, the small door of the cauldron will open up and you can grab out your ready dish. If it didn’t happen, the you should double check the recipe. Some require more than one of certain ingredients.
