Throne and Freedom: A Cooking Guide to Leveling Up

Throne and freedom doesn't have a traditional crafting system, but has a fully functional one Cooking systemwhich works as an optional skill that players can upgrade, along with Fishing and Amitoi Expeditions. So, many players may be wondering: How do we level up our cooking?

That's exactly where this guide leads, explaining everything players need to know to reach the highest level of cooking as quickly as possible. Here, players will find hints, the best recipes to start with, important items they should look for, and most importantly, where to get the ingredients for the dishes.

Get salt (and lots of it)

To level up Cooking effectively, players will need to create countless meals per day, and sometimes this will depend on the availability of certain items with limited purchases per day (such as honey). But salt is one of the main ingredients for cooking in the game, and without it, all recipes are permanently blocked. So, first things first: where do you get salt?

There are several places where monsters drop Saltand not all are bound to the shores of Salicium. But the best place for a farm is this Windhill Shores, located in the southernmost part of the map, lower right Golden rye pastures and Castleton. In this location, players must kill as many lobsters and crab monsters as they can find, and they will give 2 to 3 units of salt per group of monsters. Of course, this is also subject to RNG, so there can be really good drops, or players can be unlucky and end up with nothing. But keep killing the creeping monsters and the backpack will quickly fill up with this precious resource.

When players have at least 20-30 units of salt, it's time for the next two steps. And they both require more farming.

Get more herbs, vegetables and fruits

Salt is important, but Herbs, vegetables, mushrooms, and Fruit – other important ingredients that players will need to keep in mind every time they cook. Gathering in Throne and freedom players must search on their cards Herbs, Fruit star treesand mushrooms. The best way to get hundreds of these ingredients in one quick run is to wander between them Urstella Fields, Carmine forestand Nesting.

Herbs can include different types of spices, e.g Saffronand Vasilythat is, other ingredients that are the most common, like Quarba and the grass which can be harvested after rain. And this is another advantage of the game, climate determines what ingredients players can findso keep a close eye on the weather forecast.

When felling Star fruit treesplayers can find value Fruitwhich can also be dropped when hunting bugs like spiders and other nasty things (don't ask why). This is an ingredient we'll save for later, and it will really come in handy. And also Trannaple is another valuable culinary ingredient.

and it is also a culinary ingredient.

Once players have a good supply of these materials, it's time for the meat. So, let's go hunting and fishing. Everything that walks, swims or flies goes into the pot

Fishing and hunting for meat

Two activities that players will repeat a lot as they get enough ingredients to cook enough food to level up their cooking are hunting and fishing. Meat, of course, comes from every earthly creature (or those flying above) unlucky enough to cross the player's path as they go grocery shopping. Wolves are the main source of light meat, and there are hundreds of thousands of them in the Blackhaul Plains.

The good thing about this place is that it is also a good gathering place Herbs and Vegetablesso killing a pack of wolves, then finding food and killing more until players have enough ingredients would be the best way to proceed.

The

are another important place in our culinary journey, as they will provide the meat of monstrous birds and

killing the goblins as they will need it for the level 8 to 11 recipes.

Another thing players should do is level up their Fishing. This mini-game will allow them to get a stable source Mackerel, Bass, anchovies, and other low-level marine life that may be needed for cooking. Before you tackle the dough and turn on the oven, there's one more step ahead: time to do some grocery shopping (for real this time).

Visit The Sundries Vendor daily

Sundries Vendor is an inexhaustible source of certain products such as Vegetable oil, Milk, spring onion, Mollusk, Cornand Tomato.but other foods such as honey, eggs and golden rye are exhaustive and have a daily quota. Honey is the most valuable because it will allow players to craft items needed to level up their cooking.

At the moment it will be enough to buy 5 Honey (daily limit), then grab 5 Trannaple and 5 Lemongrass, which will allow them to produce Pickled fruit candiesin the Miscellaneous tab of the Patting menu. This special food boosts Cooking skill bonus (earned experience) by 15%. Once players have this bonus effect enabled and all the ingredients are prepared: it's time to cook.

How to level up cooking fast

With the Picked Fruit Candy bonus activated, players should start cooking Vegetable roastand then Mushroom frying once they reach the cooking level. 2. From there, his meat and fish dishes, mainly: Meat and onion soupthen upon reaching level 3 they must continue Stewed fish in the Laslan style.

Reaching level 4 will mean they've unlocked more complex recipes that require a lot of ingredients. If they followed this guide, they would have enough ingredients to get past level 5 and reach mid-level 6 before having to wait an entire day to create recipes for more comprehensive materials.

But there is a special food recipe that gives a lot of cooking experience, doesn't require too many special ingredients, and increases the experience earned (normal experience, not cooking) by $50, so it's always worth having some: Kastler lettuce. For this dish you will need the following products: 1 salt, 1 oil and 1 herb (or similar ingredients such as lemongrass or quarba) and yield 11 culinary experience.

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

In the future, players must be able to cook Stew of terror birds (68 experience each) which requires Terror Poultry, Shiitake mushroomand salt. These ingredients will be more difficult to obtain, but the player's cooking level will quickly rise to 6 and 7. Even more so if they still have the Pickled Fruit buff active.

If they get everything right, the next step is to cook a fish steak (1 fish, 3 herbs, 5 garlic) at level 8and it will set them on the right path to reaching cooking level 11. Players should be able to achieve this in one day of sustainable farming. Take a break if you need to, because the next day will be time for even more farming, as going from level 11 to level 13 players will need more honey to make forest goulash (1 honey, 1 basil, 1 wolf meat, 4 dire birds Eggs).

From here 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 a player's power, but also increase it PvP attack and dodgewhich are very useful for guilds. So having a high level cook amongst the ranks is always appreciated.
