Cooking Guide 1-400 karma/gold VERY CHEAP[Good XP]

[BrightChild]

Hi i found this guide about an hour ago on Reddit and got from level 29 to 35 in that time. Didn't find anything on the forums like it so here i am posting it. ++Also cost about 400karma/30s to get from 1-240 in ~40minutes. Here's the guide.

Here is the credit, and the sauce. Guide From Hatberg For Easy 1-400:

You're welcome, the only annoying part is the original person who did the guide goofed from 25-50. But i promise once you hit 50 points in cooking its smooth sailing.

[barthen]

thanks for this. great guide

Tempted to try this when I'm home. What do you mean by "goofed" though?

When i said goofed, i was inferring that he didn't take into account that you had to be level 50 in cooking to craft the "Ball of cookie dough" But once you hit 50 in crafting i got ~5-6 levels from mass leveling at a time.

[Neymar]

Ah thank you! I'll start this when I get back. Thanks for sharing!

[Dyz]

Ugh, I love this guide but wish everything was listed out what to buy (items/recipes) so i could just go buy and make the stuff lol. When I get home from work tonight ill list out the ingerdiants and recipes needed

[Hsk]

Did this guide when it was posted on reddit, nets you roughly 10 levels from 70+ so you can grind 70-80 using this and get 400 cooking in roughly 40 minutes.

[grizzlik1]

how u learn res "(25) Ball of Cookie Dough" if u need 50 cooking for learning it ....

[lordz23]

you don't, some of the items got changed already. Gotta figure another way of leveling it to 50

[xRaBBiTx]

If you want to avoid grinding the requirement for Pears at 275, you can make 20 or so Jars of Orange Sauce. Oranges and cooking vendor stuff.

[grusin]

can you actually go from 70 to 80 with cooking ? i didnt lvl up cooking at all and im lvl66 currently.
