Acquiring Supplies

There are two different ways of acquiring your cooking supplies.

• Buying them from other players all over Grinderscape.
• Acquiring them on your own. This guide may help you with this: Fishing.

Cooking Ranges

• There are three cooking ranges that are worth using here at Grinderscape.

• One is located in Catherby

• One is located at Donator Zone #2 (only available for in-game donators).

• One is located in the Cooking Guild south of the Grand Exchange.

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	6,877,552
	Herring	5-20	11	844,612
	Trout	20-25	6	539,200
	Salmon	25-30	7	417,080
	Tuna	30-40	24	330,069
	Lobster	40-50	41	213,969

	Shark	80-91	1,242	106,815
	Manta ray	91-92	152	831,894
	Rocktail	92-99	1,278	66,066

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.

Notes

Using the Knowledge pool (Yellow pool) located in Donator zone 1 will double the xp gained for a set time.

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.
