Cooking Profession Equipment
This step is optional and not required to proceed, but if you're serious about cooking, it might be a good idea to get some profession equipment before you start leveling. While it's a minor detail, it could save you a bit of gold through resourcefulness.
Head to the Auction House and pick up these two profession equipment items. If the highest quality versions are too pricey, you can go for the lower quality ones—they won't make a huge difference.
If you have the necessary professions, you can also craft them yourself.

I recommend getting the Beledar's Bounty recipe from the Striking Steel Quest Chain for this part. This recipe requires much cheaper ingredients, but it provides the same stat buff. It's definitely worth completing this quest chain to obtain it.
Striking Steel Quest Chain
Head to Meredar in Hallowfall and pick up the Economical Request quest from Auralia Steelstrike, the Renown Quartermaster.
Economical Request
A Batty Request,
Does Anyone Like Wasps?,
Regular Fiber.
Underground Economics.
- There’s a break between part 1 and part 2 of the quest chain, so you’ll need to wait a day before you can accept “Spice up your Life” and “Eagle Eye, Eagle Die.” The quest giver will be in a different location the next day from where you left off. You can find Auralia Steelstrike in the center of Mereldar, standing by the fountain.
Spice Up Your Life,
Eagle Eye, Eagle Die.

15x Beledar's Bounty - 225x
Portioned Steak
Alternative recipes if you don't want to do the Quest
If you prefer not to complete the quest chain, you can use these alternative recipes, but they are much more expensive to craft.
First, make these to reach 65:
5x Jester's Board - 250x
Fresh Fillet, 100x
Portioned Steak
Then, buy one of the following recipes:
Recipe | Ingredients | Recipe Source |
---|---|---|
10x ![]() | 500x ![]() 200x ![]() | Sold by Polo in the City of Threads. Cost: 1500x ![]() |
10x ![]() | 500x ![]() 200x ![]() | Sold by Collector Z'til in the City of Threads. Cost: 2638x ![]() |
85 - 100
5x Everything Stew - 75x
Portioned Steak, 75x
Spiced Meat Stock, 75x
Chopped Mycobloom, 75x
Fresh Fillet
The Recipe: Everything Stew is sold by Waxmonger Squick in The Ring of Deeps for 1000x
Resonance Crystals.
Alternatively, if the previous recipes are selling well at the Auction House or you find them useful for yourself, you can continue making those up to level 100. They will turn green for the last 8 points, but they boost the highest secondary stat, making them likely more popular among players. On the other hand, this one increases the lowest stats, so it might be less in demand.
Congratulations on reaching 100! If you have any feedback on the guide—whether it's about areas that could be improved, or if you found typos, errors, or incorrect material numbers—please don't hesitate to let me know. Your input helps make the guide better for everyone!
