Cooking 0-60 Guide

• Fishing will help you immensely in leveling cooking to 60 with minimal costs. If you dont fish you can buy a lot of fish on the AH. For some reason on Horizon people sell fish for less than NPC prices on the AH??? No idea why but hey take advantage of their stupidity. Feel free to move up to the next synth if you are ok with breaks or if the mats are harder to come by for certain items in order. 5 or less gap will give skill on breaks.
• Dont buy distilled water on the AH. Its 4x more expensive for no reason. Dont be lazy, there is a vendor everywhere that sells them for 120g stack.
• 0-6 //Hard-Boiled Egg (6)-Fire Crystal, Bird Egg(NPC 54g), Distilled Water(NPC 10g) - Use Advanced support for alteast the first level or two which should go quick.
• 6-9 //Pet Food Alpha (9)-Earth Crystal, Bird Egg(NPC at Airship 54g), Distilled Water(NPC 10g), Hare Meat (AH), Horo Flour(AH/NPC check which is cheaper) - NPC results
• TEST ITEM: Salmon Sub: Earth Crystal, Crying Mustard, Black Bread, Apple Vinegar, La Theine Cabbage, Smoked Salmon, Mithran Tomato
