Cooking

[Dredi]

I've been playing around with cooking for a while now and Have played with alchemy and herbalism before and I've got to say, its.. extreamely difficult to get into, even more so than the above (albeit without the chance of a sudden untimely death)

One of the major issues I find is that when you move into a certain area of cooking opening up certain items, the text description and colour rarely changes as it does near enough all the time in alchemy and herbalism, this makes it extreamely difficult to find new things because if you do find them, you dont even know you have!

Additionally, for the reward, the required input seems to be excessively high and while self serving, for the basic items which are fundamental to getting access to the other parts of cooking would it be possible to produce 2, rather than just one?

Finally, Raw meat is relatively easily come across. it can be found on rothe, cut from deep or stone lizards or found as loot in certain areas but fish is much much more difficult to find, desbite the abundance of dead silverfin you can only use specific Raw Fish items for the cooking and these only drop as semi-rare spawns from NPC's - It does not necicerily have to be that all silverfin are usable but perhaps introduce another type of fish that is? or a "Raw fish" item which drops while fishing?

The inability to use fish garnered from fishing is a bug.

Check all your resources- there is a fish item available that does work with the cooking system. Doesn't fix the silverfin/raw fish problem, but fish and chips is still a possibility.

Keep trying, and remember that the pool of items you can stick into a cookpot is pretty large.

The DC's for some of the advanced meals could use a bit of a nerf to actually make them possible to beat, but I can't say I've tried them all.

There are 2 fish items which work with the system, it is just very difficult to get them.

Additionally, for meat, I'd like to request that we can cut meat up into smaller amounts since 50 pounds of meat should really make for more than one use.

Possibly add a secondary effect to the surgical knife allowing you to carve up the meat into 5lb parts which can each individually be used.
