86-99 Cooking (f2p)

Important Info: No burn points: Tuna 65, Lobster 74, Swordfish 86

XP 86-99= 9436639

R Tuna 94 C Tuna 78 Net Loss 16 XP 100 .16GP/XP

R Lob 274 C Lob 223 Net Loss 51 XP 120 .425GP/XP

R Sword 432 C Sword 384 Net Loss 48 XP 140 .34GP/XP

Let's say one cooks 1,000 fish in an hour.

Tuna = 100K xp for 16k

Lobster = 120K xp for 51K

Swordfish = 140K xp for 47.6K

In short

NEVER COOK LOBSTERS

1-49 whatever

49-59 Trout

Pike in the middle here if you want

59-65 Salmon

65-74 TUNA

74-86 COST: TUNA SPEED: LOBSTER

86-99 SPEED: SWORDFISH COST: TUNA WASTE: LOBSTER NEVER COOK LOBSTERS

If you don't understand my point you may want to get your eyes checked.

Since at this level you will not burn anything that will not be a variable. All food is cooked at the same speed so Swordfish will be the fastest xp.

99 Cooking
This article states that cooking is one of the easiest skills to reach 99 in - that if all the supplies are already bought, it only takes about 2 weeks of cooking. I'd like to try this, but does anyone know what the supplies are, and how much they would cost? 75.177.131.250 21:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

More Info
I have added lots of info, but more is still needed, mainly the member foods. --Richard1990 12:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks great, just baked potatoes that I can see are missing now.

--Eucarya 13:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Added members column on table--Curmudgeony 00:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Missing Foods
As mentioned earlier, there are missing foods on the list. I have spotted Dairy and Brewing...there could be more. -- Carralpha - The cook with a cape

Peaches and Bananas
Since the Food article is now no longer a list of all foods, where would these two go? Obviously they'll have articles of their own, as all items will, but...anywhere else?

It occurred to me while I was making the Bones to Peaches article; someone still needs to add the amount of HP a peach heals to there. Vimescarrot 14:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * A Miscellanious section - that's my idea -- Carralpha, the Cook with a Cape

Brewing Effects
In the Brewing section, the effects that the beers have (these effects are really more inportant than healing) are missing. I might sort that out, but if I dont, someone else should. -- Carralpha - The cook with a cape


 * Sorry, I didn't see that the effects are in the Notes section, but I still think that they should be on a separate column, and I've noticed a couple effects are still missing. Also, I'm gonna find out the experience for the beer. Carralpha


 * Okay, I've fixed the experience and the notes section -- Carralpha again

Cooking Gauntlets
This subject failed to mention that the cooking gauntlets do not help cooking on a range, but only on a fire, as mentioned in the first quest("Cooking Assistant")ranges provide better chances of not burning food, using cooking gauntlets on a fire produce the same effect. --Alex Power3 --
 * Do you have proof that they don't help on a Range? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * By "proof" you mean a place of origin on a fansite, offical fourms or acual runescape database.. No, but i have data that supports this. Also, ask people at rouges den, everone there says its true.--Alex Power3 --
 * Hmm. If they really don't help cooking on a range, that would mean that even if a player was at 99 cooking, he would still burn sharks on a range. Maybe someone would like to try it out with couple hundreds or thousands? Lightz 01:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I have data that supports that it does help when cooking on a range. So...Ask Jagex. Oh, that's going to be me doing that then... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  08:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I asked, and the Gauntlets do indeed help cooking on a Range. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The cooking gauntlets improve on ranges and fires, except for the one in lumbridge castle, because it is improved from cooks assistant. 12:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Cooking guantlets do improve your cooking on fires as well as ranges, ive could thousands of sharks to get 99 cooking when you supposedly do not burn them with gaunlets. Not a single one burnt. This is simply a rumor. (Jdogy15 03:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC))

Stews
Under stews it says that you must add the spices before cooking, in the table this is untrue as you must cook it first in order to add the spices, even though there is a range right in his house so i could cook it. --Alex 18:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Fixed--Alex 17:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Pictures
in the table for the products of brewing, the pictures are blank, i guess it'll be my job to upload some pictures later. Also, the spicy stew picture is missing.--Alex 18:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Pizzas
I'm not sure about the experience you get for making a meat/anchovie/pineapple pizza, because you are supposed to coo the pizza (getting you xp) and then you add the extra topping (getting you more xp). I'm gonna check this stuff out. -- Carralpha 11:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Are Monkfish affected by cooking gauntlets?
I don't think anyone really knows.

Are Monkfish affected by Cooking Gauntlets? Yes No

JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 23:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It's even at the KB: http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2191 also, no fansites list monkfish as affected by them anyway. 82.32.41.125 23:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * They didn't say specifically that they didn't work. And they seem to work for me. And the J-mods were annoying about it for like a week after the quest came out. Hmm... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  00:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I have gotten nearly 12 million experience from cooking Monkfish with gauntlets. I can firmly testify that they do make a difference. 21:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Chef's Hat
Does the chef's hat give a boost to cooking? I always use it in conjunction with cooking gauntlets. I am currently level 87 cooking but if I get to 93 then I can check if the chef's hat gives a +1 cooking level boost with sharks. I'll work on this but it may take a few weeks for an answer, so does anyone else know for sure?
 * Jagex have never said they do, and it doesn't sound like something they'd keep secret. It also doesn't sound like something we'd never have heard of, considering I think it's one of the oldest items in the game. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:08, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * they do, but only when combined with a brown or white apron.

Make sense of this, please
I was just going through the cooking article, and found this recently added paragraph:

''Some players like to buy raw lobster for 250 coins and sell there cooked lobs in free worlds for 250 coins though they do not usually all sell at once players will not lose a profit. Unlike members which cooked sells for 210 coins each.''

It makes no sense at all. If I understood the meaning, I'd have tried to rewrite it, but I don't understand this at all. --Paania 08:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah it's nonsense. Just remove it.--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 12:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I parse this as meaning that it is possible to buy bulk raw lobs (e.g. on RS forums) for around 250 coins each. After cooking the lobs, it is possible to sell them in bulk for around 210 coins. If you sell them in smaller volumes on f2p a selling price of 250 each is reasonable, although it requires more time to sell bulk volumes that way. It seems a reasonable way to train cooking in a break even manner. --Miw 13:10, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I've deleted it. There must be countless "reasonable ways" to train cooking, and this doesn't stand out as particularly noteworthy. --Paania 07:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Other cookable foods
Doens't mention Ugthanki Meat, Beast Meat or Chompy. Rich Farmbrough, 13:58 3 May 2007 (GMT).

Karjama
Well i got my cooking lvl up to 50 here from 46 or 47 but I spent 13k heres what I did. I went to Kajama. I brang a axe and a tinderbox plus 20k.I bought raw tuna from the general store becuase players sell there then I cooked and sold back so I didn't lose alot of money. should this method be added? -- Fofo  02:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * did you lose a bit of money? if yes, i dont think we should, because i dont think it'd really work that much, experiencewise and cashwise

Burning Levels
Does anyone know what the levels are when you stop burning certain foods, it could help a lot.Deathsathand 21:03, 7 October 2007 (UTC) 21:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Rouge's Den
It mentions in the article that 50 theiving and agility are required to cook in the rouge's den. Not true.--71.136.250.43 01:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

cooking lobsters is not anymore the fastest way to raise your cooking. Monkfishes are.

Gettin 99
I wanna know, what would be faster to 99 cooking? Lobsters or Big net? I have 47 fishing at the time i wrote this. Also, can you leave some tips, it would be greatly appreciated. Never mind, got 53 fishing.

Deliberately burning cooked meat
" "

That would have been much more helpful here on the talk page than as an invisible comment in the article. Nevertheless, I have verified the in-game text, and corrected the article to match. :-) Leevclarke 00:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

99 cooking
Should we add a picture of the message when you get 99 cooking? (I have the new message) im asking someone else to do because i have no idea how to put pictures on pages. 208.114.169.126 18:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you have it, then sure, put it in. To put in images, go to Special:Upload and download the file. 18:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

It's me (208.114.169.126, i still can't figure out how to put the image into the article, but if someone else could do it, that would be great. the image is here : http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Image:99_cooking_picture.JPG

Does the Cooking guild range give the same bonus as Lumbridge range?
Jagex cleary states that the "magic" range in Lumbridge burns food less often. I see no such statement with regard to the Cooking guild range in the room with the bank. Anyone know?


 * Not a clue, I doubt it though. However it is almost definately the fastest way to cook range-only things (the exception being pies with the Bake Pie spell). 21:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Brewing subarticle
With some of the mature ales now selling for 50k+, I'm going to take a stab at separating out the Brewing section into its own article that will be linked to a brief summary here. Please let me know if any of you have objections or suggestions. --Farmyboy 22:29, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
