Throne and Freedom: Kitchen Leveling Guide

Throne and Freedom It doesn’t have a traditional crafting system, but it does have a fully functional system Cooking systemwhich functions as a secondary skill that players can level up, alongside fishing and Amitoi expeditions. So, many players may wonder: how do we level up cooking?

That’s exactly what this guide leads to, explaining everything players need to know to reach the highest cooking level as quickly as possible. Here players will find tips, the best recipes to make first, important items they should look for, and most importantly: where to find the ingredients for their dishes.

Take salt (and lots of salt)

To level up Kitchen efficiently, players will have to create countless dishes per day, and will sometimes be subject to the availability of certain items with limited purchases per day (like honey, for example). But salt is one of the main ingredients for cooking in the game and without it all recipes are eternally stuck. So, first things first: where to find salt?

There are many places where monsters fall Saltand not all are headed to the shores of Solisium. But by far the best place to grow is Windhill Beaches, located in the southernmost part of the map, right below Golden rye pastures AND Castleton. In this location, players should kill as many lobsters and crab monsters as they can find and they will drop 2 to 3 units of salt per group of monsters. Of course, this is also subject to RNG, so there could be some really good drops, or players could be unlucky and not get any. But keep killing crawling monsters and your backpack will be full of this precious resource in no time.

Once players have at least 20 or 30 units of salt, it’s time for the next two steps. And both require more agriculture.

Get more herbs, vegetables and fruits

Salt is important, but Herbs, vegetables, mushrooms, AND Fruit are other crucial ingredients that players will have to keep in mind every time they cook. Meeting Throne and Freedom will require players to search their maps Herbs, Star fruit treesAND Mushrooms. The best way to get hundreds of these ingredients in one quick run is to wander the areas in between Urstella fields, Carmine Forestand the Nesting grounds.

Herbs could include different types of spices, such as SaffronAND Basilthen there are other more common ingredients, such as Quarba and Herbs which can be collected after rain. And this is another of the attractions of the game, the climate determines what ingredients players might findso keep an eye on the weather forecast.

When cutting Star fruit treesplayers might find it valuable Fruitwhich can also fall off while hunting for insects like spiders and other nasty things (don’t ask me why). This is an ingredient we will save for later and it will come in really handy. And Trannaple is also another precious culinary ingredient.

While cutting down star fruit trees in the Carmine Forest, players can also kill
Spiders
to get more
Fruit
and fodder for mushrooms to obtain aroma and various types of
Edible mushrooms
which will be used in
recipes from level 2 to level 4
. So keep that in mind. Also: spiders fall
Insect legs
and this is also a cooking ingredient.

Once players have a good supply of these materials, it’s time for meat. So let’s go hunting AND fishing. Whatever walks, swims or flies ends up in the jar

Fishing and hunting for meat

Two activities that players will repeat often as they obtain enough ingredients to produce enough food to raise the cooking level are hunting and fishing. The meat comes, of course, from any terrestrial creature (or those flying above) that are unfortunate enough to cross the player’s path while out shopping. Wolves they are a staple source of easy meat and there are hundreds of thousands of them in the world Blackhowl Plains.

The nice thing about this place is that it is also a good place to gather Herbs AND Vegetablesso killing packs of wolves, then searching for food and killing more until players have enough ingredients will be the best way to proceed.

THE
Nesting grounds
are another important point in our culinary journey as they will provide Terror Bird Meat and

two important ingredients to go from level 5 to 7 in the kitchen. Meanwhile, inside
Urstella fields
players should farm


Garlic

killing Goblins, as they will need them for level 8-11 recipes.

The other thing players should do is level up Fishing. This minigame will allow them to obtain a constant source of Mackerel, Bass, Anchovies, and other low-level sea creatures that can come in handy for cooking. There’s one more step before you get your hands on the dough and turn on the oven: it’s time to go shopping (for real this time).

Visit the sundries vendor every day

The sundries seller is an inexhaustible source of some products such as Vegetable oil, Milk, Onion, Clam, CornAND Tomato.but other products such as honey, eggs and golden rye are exhaustible and have a daily quota. Honey is the most valuable one as it will allow players to create the item they need to increase their cooking level.

For the moment it will be enough to buy 5 honey (daily limit), then taking 5 Trannaple and 5 Citronella will allow them to create Pickled fruit candiesin the Various tab of the Cooking menu. This particular food increases the Cooking Mastery Bonus (experience gained) by 15%. Once players have this bonus effect active and have prepared all the ingredients: it’s time to cook.

How to level up by cooking fast

With the Pickled Fruit Candy bonus activated, players should start by cooking Stir-fried vegetablesThen Fried mushrooms once you reach Cooking Lvl. 2. From there, its meat and fish dishes, mainly: Meat and onion soupso when they reach level 3, they should continue Laslan fish stew.

Reaching level 4 will mean you have unlocked the more complex recipes that require many ingredients. If they followed this guide, they will have enough ingredients to go beyond level 5 and reach medium level 6 before having to wait a full day to create recipes with more exhaustible materials.

But there is one particular food recipe that gives a lot of cooking experience, doesn’t require too many special ingredients, and also increases the experience gained (normal experience, not cooking) by $50, so it’s always worth having some: the Castle salad. This dish requires the following items: 1 salt, 1 oil and 1 herb (or similar ingredients, such as Lemongrass or Quarba) and produces 11 Exp.

Players can only have one Cooking Buff active at a time, so eating another set of food will replace the previous effect with a new one. Keep this in mind and choose carefully which buff to use for each occasion.

Next, players should be able to cook Terror bird stew (68 Exp each), which requires Terror bird meat, Shiitake mushroomsand salt. These ingredients will be harder to obtain but will bring the player’s cooking level to 6 and 7 in an instant. Even more so if they still have the pickled fruit candy buff still active.

If they do things correctly, the next step will be to cook the fish steak (1 fish, 3 herbs, 5 garlic) at level 8and this will put them on the right path towards reaching cooking level 11. Players should be able to achieve this with an afternoon of consistent farming. Take a break if necessary, because the next day will be time to grow even more since to go from level 11 to 13, players will need more honey to create forest goulash (1 honey, 1 basil, 1 wolf meat of the forest, 4 terror birds Eggs).

From there on, the recipes become more and more complex and will also require some special materials such as Marind Ore, which can be farmed by Riding The Gigantrite, which appears several times a day as a world event. The best recipes can not only increase the player’s power, but also increase it PvP attack and evasionwhich are extremely useful for Guilds. So having a top chef among the ranks is always appreciated.
