Food for Stats Boost
Following food gives players long duration buffs, increasing one of core stats. It’s possible to increase health, mana, stamina, intelligence or spirit by eating different types of food. The great thing is that such bonuses don’t disappear after player’s death. As you see it may be profitable to craft food because such bonuses will always be in demand.
Healing and Mana Restoration Food
This type of food is traditional for many MMO games. It allows to recover health and mana faster. Note, that the following food can’t be used in combat. You can eat it when you are out of combat. If you are looking for something to recover health and mana during combat you should use alchemy potions.
Feast Tables
Usually one piece of food can be used by one character only. But Feast Tables can be used by many characters simultaneously. You can place the table and any ally may benefit from it. It’s a great way to give extra buffs to your party when you are in dungeon.
Special Furniture
You can increase your Cooking proficiency by crafting special items and placing these items in your house. Note, that the items listed below will not benefit you until you place them into your house. Thus there is no reason to craft them until you build house.
Leveling Cooking
Like other crafting professions Cooking can be leveled up to 50 000 rank. The leveling speed depends on the amount of labor you spend for this profession. If you spend a lot of labor for crafting different types of food and brew you will reach maximum level.
Crafting in ArcheAge allows to level professions using even simple recipes. There are no penalties for using simple recipes at high levels because level of the recipe doesn’t affect leveling speed. Only the quantity of labor points you spend affects leveling process. Thus you can choose simple Cooking recipe and craft it again and again. Sooner or later you will reach maximum level.
