KING BEAR TANK’s Cooking Discovery Guide!
I’m King Bear Tank, and I’m an alt-aholic. I have 11. So having all the food available to me in the game, I decided to create a list of all the possible discoveries per level, based upon PRICE and easily available ingredients. Players have jacked the Trading Post economy around the ingredients in the older cooking guides, since most people Google search, and do that. So I’ve gone back to square one, and created a list of DISCOVERIES that can get you from 0-400 the cheapest.
Good points of this guide:
- Cheap. I’ve removed the expensive discoveries, and cash heavy older guide items
- Uses premade food. People sell resulting food on the TP cheaper than the ingredients. I leverage this when possible to save money
- Uses discoveries (when possible) instead of grind crafting. Discoveries get you leveled MUCH faster
- Updated for post-nerf, October 2012
Bad points:
- It relies on Karma items, therefore some running around is required
- It has a lot of single ingredients, so some TP shopping is also required
How to use this guide:
If you don’t know how crafting works, hit up YouTube.
DISCOVER x,y,z = toss those items into the DISCOVERY tab, and hit Craft button
CREATE = create this in the PRODUCTION tab
{Xc, Xs} = this is how much the items cost on the TP as of 10/2012
{vendor} = you must visit a Karma heart vendor in the world to obtain this, and it’s account bound
Anything NOT listed as one of the above is available from the cooking trainer
And it’s a forum, so feel free to flame me for no apparent reason, or question my sexuality!
