Skill Guide
Here, hopefully will be a guide to what to cook at what level for fastest gain in Hot Food Cooking.
Note: the skill gain from cooking is given to the person who adds the cooking container into the oven rather than the person who puts the goods into it.
If someone takes the pot out and puts it back in then apparently they get the skill.
Also, it is a common wives tale in Wurm that you get zero skill if the difficulty of the dish you're making is more than 10+ your Hot food cooking skill. This is not the case. Skill may be reduced relative, but it's still able to be over yourskill+10.
IMPORTANT! If you are using an Forge or Campfire when making food notice the difficulty gain which lays between 150% - 250% over the ordinary difficulty. To avoid this use an Oven which dont add any difficulty.
The low-difficulty food makes it much easier to gain the first skillpoints
Tritus' Gulasch (0-15)
Forewarning
I levelled this way myself so I know that it worked at time of writing.
However, for the first 4 points of skill gain it is very difficult to get skill and you will need to make many Gulasch. It may be faster to make some Stew until you are around 5.
Required
- Stone Forge QL 10-35
- Saucepan Any QL, possibly slower if low QL
- Cauldron Any QL
- Water
- Fish or Meat or Fillet of either
Refer to the Quick cooking [guides]
Method
- Put water in cauldron
- Put cauldron in forge
- Put Sauce Pan in forge
- Put fish in forge
- Wait 20-90 mins according to QL of forge
When all items are Glowing With Heat
- Remove Sauce Pan
- Put Fish or Meat or Fillet in Sauce Pan
- Fill Sauce Pan with Water from Cauldron
- Put Sauce Pan back in forge
- Wait 30-60 secs till Sauce Pan contains Gulasch
- Take Saucepan
- Pour (empty) Gulasch onto ground
Repeat whole process
Note: Gulasch appears to have a consistent difficulty of 14 that can be increased by using a lower QL fire or forge. This trick should work until you have a skill of around 14.
Tip: Make several Sauce Pans and use the Gulasch to feed your pigs or tamed pet in order to raise your Animal Taming skill at the same time.
If the animal is within 20 tiles of your cooking site then you can make 7-8 pans of Gulasch and use all of them to tame the animal and they will still be glowing hot when you get back tou your fire.
