Introduction
Cooking is a skilled that is paired with Fishing, but is also widely used to cook items not obtained through Fishing. After a player has obtained a raw food, it is usually useless unless cooked. Cooked food restores HP, essential for many mini-games, quests, and anything to do with fighting. Food can be cooked by "using" the raw counterpart with a range or fire. Cooking on a range allows to burn food less, but because of the distance between most ranges and bank, cooking via fire is most common.
1. Fish/Meat
