Posted April 22, 2013 Hello, I just started playing last week, and got some time to play a little longer this weekend. Thanks to the wiki and some helpful players, I was able to get a pretty good start. The area that I'm struggling in is cooking. I made some pottery jars, put food in them (1 strawberry/lingonberry, 1 filet of brown bear/onion, 1 filet/garlic), then put the jars in a fire. I kept it going for about 15 minutes after the food was glowing hot, but never got any food out of it. Am I on the right track here? Do I need to be using bowls instead of jars? And do I need to do something more simple to start?I'm on Pristine, and have been hanging out near Wurm Academy. The people I've met from there have been very helpful, but haven't been able to invite me to join.Thanks in advance for the help!Flarnus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2013 I was afraid that'd be the answer. Looks like I'll be searching for clay again. Thanks for the quick reply! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2013 If iron is easier to find for you then you should get good enough gains from making gulasch in saucepans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Aye, and if you can get hot food cooking to 30, which isn't overly difficult, a 30ql meal with get you to ~75% nutrition That is really the only goal you need to set for some good skill gain bonus, it is what I have mine at and I haven't really thought about taking the time to raise it.This is just when you get to the point of getting the skill higher Edited April 23, 2013 by Shrimpiie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 23, 2013 Well, just simply for a newer player they might want to get their feet under them before thinking about luxury skilling like HFC ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 24, 2013 Just as a follow up, I was able to make a sauce pan, and have had some success in cooking stews and gulashes. The time waiting for food to heat ended up being a good opportunity to make some nails too. Thanks for the advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
