Training Tips

It would also be nice to do so for Tasting.

Personally, I find it best, maybe because I'm just lazy, to avoid doing dishes that require Water. Here is my priority:

• The dish with Flour is worse than the dish with Water. The dish with water is worse than the dish without water. (Some ranks this is a must, like pasta, noodles, pie.)
• Assuming the two previous points are precedent, the dish with two ingredients is better than the dish with three ingredients.
• The cheaper dish is better than the expensive dish.

This being said, personally, a 2 ingredient dish that costs 150g to make is better than a 3 ingredient dish that takes 75g to make because it requires less effort. MUST AVOID EFFORT. And a 3 ingredient dish that costs 5,000g is better than a two ingredient dish that involves Flour and Water. Flour must be avoided at all costs if possible. It requires 10 wheat or barely, they do not stack very high. It takes a while to get even with r1 harvesting. And the success rate of milling is way too low. In addition, flour does not stack.

Not really a guide of what to make and what rank but this is a miniguide as to what I usually looked at when ranking cooking and tasting.

You can't really avoid making flour. Pie Making, Pasta Making and Noodle Making all require flour making. Unless you want to buy it off players or get a flour making slave. But I'm not made of money, yo!

Some three ingredient dishes can be easier, it depends on the percentage of each ingredient. Steamed Potato is stupid.

Yea, I just avoid flour when I can but there are ranks where it is mandatory. And if you're really too lazy, you can be semi-hypocritical and spam kitchen dungeon for flour instead of gathering/producing if that is less monotonous to you.

Also something I forgot to mention, if you have a cooking experience reforged tool, equip it when reading the book for extra experience.

Tasting, you can just NOM NOM NOM carrots and mix Bread Crumbs.
