1-99 Walkthrough

This is the suggested method for 1-99 Cooking:

Fish	Name	Levels	Amount needed	350M From 13M
	Shrimps & Anchovies	1-5	8	6877552
	Herring	5-20	11	844612
	Trout	20-25	6	539200
	Salmon	25-30	7	417080
	Tuna	30-40	24	330069
	Lobster	40-50	41	213969
	Swordfish	50-80	934	166832
	Shark	80-91	1242	106815
	Manta ray	91-92	152	831894
	Rocktail	92-99	1278	66066

Please note that the Amount needed will be higher than the one written here, this is the amount of fish that will actually get cooked. So burnt fishes are not included in the amount needed!

Cooking Gauntlets

While wearing cooking gauntlets, you will never burn rocktail or manta rays.

The Skillcape

When you reach level 99, you may buy your skillcape from any Wise Old Man in the game, there are a few Wise Old Man NPC's but the easiest one to find is at home, just east of the altar north of the bank. The skillcape will cost you 150.000 coins.

The cooking hood and the cooking cape give you +18 defence bonus (+9 bonus each).

Trivia

• Everytime when you cook something successfully you earn 25K.
• Cooking Brawlers give 2x more experience when equipped, and can only be obtained by voting.
• The higher your cooking level, smaller are the chances of burning a fish.
