Main / Skills / Cooking / Hot food cooking

Hot food cooking (HFC) is a skill used to create cooked food. The food made with this skill has a higher nutrition value than raw (uncooked) meat, foraged, or botanized food.

Notes

  • To raise this skill, the player should start out with a simpler dish like a stew or casserole. After having reached about 10-15 HFC skill the player can move on to creating a meal.
  • To gain skill in HFC you should try to keep the difficulty of the dish within a range of +/-10 from your skill. That means that if you have 1 hfc you should not aim to make a dish of higher difficulty than 11. Likewise if you have 34 hfc you can gain skill from food with a difficulty of 24 as well as 44. A +/- range of 5 seems to help to get the optimal skillgain
  • After placing the ingredients in your cooking utensil you can examine it to find out what it will become and what the difficulty of the dish is
  • The type of fireplace you use to cook your food in has an impact on the difficulty:
    • Oven adds 0
    • Campfire adds 5
    • Forge adds 10
  • Some items can be added to raise the difficulty, for example leather pieces, small nails and coins (they will not be consumed)


NB: Rumours have circulated that you will not gain any hfc skill if you leave the forge/oven/campfire. This has been proven wrong. You do not have to stand shackled to the heat source.
