Cook's Assistant

Cook's Assistant is the oldest of the RuneScape quests, and is often one of the first quests completed by new players as it is fairly simple. Players can complete Cook's assistant without leaving Lumbridge.

Walkthrough
To begin this quest, the player should talk to the cook in the kitchen of Lumbridge Castle's first floor. He will tell the player that he needs ingredients to make a cake for Duke Horacio. He wants the player to retrieve flour, milk, and an egg, and to bring those items back to him. Before heading off to collect the ingredients, players may need to obtain an empty pot from the table closest to the cook in his kitchen or buy it from the Lumbridge General store. This is especially suggested if players plan on making their own flour.

Obtaining an egg: Eggs respawn in the east farm (northeast chicken farm or chicken barn) on the east side of River Lum where players will find attackable Chickens. Players do not need to kill a chicken in order to receive an egg.

Obtaining milk: To obtain milk, players require a bucket and a dairy cow. Buckets may be purchased from any general store. Players can kill the goblins next to the Lumbridge general store for a bucket, get a bucket in the kitchen cellar, or get the bucket that spawns inside the house that is next to the chicken coop. Next, players should find a dairy cow. Dairy cows cannot be attacked and can be found near Cows in the cow paddocks. When players click a dairy cow, they will start milking the cow and obtain a bucket of milk. Alternatively, players may trade for the milk.

Obtaining flour: Flour can be purchased from the food store in Port Sarim for 14 coins. Alternatively, the flour can be made by the player. To make flour, a player must collect a pot and some grain. Empty pots can be bought from a general store or taken from the table in the kitchen where the cook is at the start of the quest.

To make flour, players must go to a windmill. The most convenient windmill is found northwest from Lumbridge and has wheat fields located just west of it. Players should pick as much grain as possible. In the windmill, the player should climb up the three ladders to the top story where the player should put the grain in the hopper. Operating the hopper controls will cause the grain to fall down a chute to the ground floor where players need to scoop out the flour from the flour bin into their pots.

Once the three aforementioned items are collected, players need to return to the cook to complete the quest.
