Cooking

How to level up

Craft food to raise this skill. The more complicated the food to craft, the more experience you earn.

Fastest experience

Levels	Activity	XP/hour	XP	Time
1 → 6	Scorpion Sting Tonic Formula: Scorpion Sting Tonic	900	27,000	~30 h
6 → 10	Chiltepin Bear Roast×5 Recipe: Chiltepin Bear Roast same rate: Bacanora×5 Creosote Trail Bowl×5 Jojoba Jerky×5 +2	1,200	2,160,000	~1,800 h
From level 1 to 10, always on the fastest activity				~1,830 h

XP per hour is the XP of one action × 3,600 ÷ the seconds it takes: gathering at the base time (tools, skill level and other gatherers shorten it) and crafting with the ingredients in hand.

Getting the ingredients takes time too, and it is not in these rates: the planner builds the whole path, with every material.
