Tasting

Description

Cooking is the harmonious science, where ratios and formulas combine to make something of exquisite beauty. When prepared with a steady hand and a patient mind, food has the ability to move hearts and give strength. Tasting will improve these effects.

Details

• Passively increases Cooked Items and Catering Dish stat gain effects while increasing Cooking's base quality rate, stability during Cooking, and EXP provided from Cooking food.
  • Stat gains are shown as "+#" beside the food's base stats.
  • Tasting still provides positive stats even if the food has any negative stats.
• Rank F Tasting is required to obtain the quest for learning Ingredient Hunting; Rank D is required to complete one of the quest's objectives.
• The Food Quality Increase also applies to the Kitchen Dungeon, with each Rank, starting with Rank F, adding one point to the player's base score.

Obtaining the Skill

• Create or rebirth a character and select the Culinary Artist Talent to be the active talent.
  • Requires an Ace, Hero, or Elite Hero Character Card for character creation, or 39 Pon for rebirth.

Or,

• Equip one of the following: Cooking Knife, Ladle, Rolling Pin, Cooking Table, or Cooking Pot.

Training Method

• "Eat a Dish" can be trained with any food item, not necessarily a cooked dish.
• "Hunt Monsters for Ingredients" is to obtain an ingredient item from a monster's Ingredient Hunting drop list.
• Starting at Rank 5 is the requirement: "Learn better methods through other people or books." This method is currently impossible to train as no such NPC or book exists.
  • The "Unknown method" for Rank 5 cannot be trained by Steaming.

Tips

• "Eat a Dish" can easily be done by purchasing cheap food items (e.g. Tomato for 9 gold).
  • If you have an Empty Bottle, filling it with water and drinking that will also train this requirement.
• "Mix a Dish" can easily be done by creating Bread Crumb from Sliced Bread.
  • For a much cheaper alternative, consider Meat Marinade.
