Cook (servant)


 * This article is about the NPC that players can hire as a servant in their houses. For other uses, see Cook.

The Cook is a servant whom players may hire when they reach level 30 Construction. To do so, they must travel to a building in north-eastern East Ardougne.

The Cook charges 3,000 coins for services. Players must pay this fee upon hiring her, and every eight uses of her services thereafter.

The Cook is not polite to her master or to guests in the house, but she will perk up and become pleasant when asked to serve pineapple pizza. She can also bank 16 items at a time, exchange noted items for real items, and visit the sawmill to bring back planks.

The sawmill is usually a 2-step process, involving 2 trips, so budget accordingly. The first step can be somewhat confusing at first, because when you use the noted logs on her, she asks if you'd like one of those. If you say yes, however, you'll be able to give her any number, up to her carry limit of 16 logs. Once she returns, the un-noted logs must be used on her, and she'll ask if you want them taken to a bank or a sawmill. She'll then head to the sawmill, grumbling all the way, of course, about one of the finest chefs in RuneScape being reduced to a builder's mate.

Note that "builder's mate" is the British expression for a worker's assistant, rather than a parapraxis.

Before hiring a new servant, players must fire their current one, and then travel to East Ardougne to hire the next.

Trivia

 * She says that she was previously the Lumbridge Castle cook but was fired when some no-talent chef was appointed because of his family connections. During Recipe for Disaster, the current cook admits that he only got the job because his ancestor was the original castle cook.
