The other isn’t available however, you just need to choose a good one. It depends on whether you’re a member of a paid-for service or not, as paid players have more choices. At any rate, with these two options available you’ll have a reduced risk of cooking food.
Sometimes, convenience wins out since cooking can be cooked with flames. If you’re taking a bite out of someone training in Fishing Running back and forth to get to a range isn’t convenient or effective. In that case you’ll have the option of making do with an open fire.
What is the best OSRS Food Preparation Guide that works with F2P?
Our strategy below is the best F2P OSRS Cooking manual, where we will teach players how to progress from 1-99 for free.
We will discuss the best strategies for leveling at 1-99 below. The tips offered will tell which places to look for each cooking method. In many cases you can also purchase these at the Grand Exchange if you can manage to afford them.
Level 1-14
In the first level one, the most straightforward thing to accomplish is to cook and catch shrimp. There is nothing to fish, and you can earn fishing experience while cooking. The best place to fish is a stream close to Lumbridge Castle. A better alternative can be to make sardines, which provide 10 additional XP more than shrimp. Buying all the ingredients would result in losing gold, but it can prove worthwhile.
Level 15-29
When you reach level 15 you can move to trout. If you’ve reached 20 Fishing experience, you can fish for trout in the Barbarian Village as well as Lumbridge. A few fishermen throw trout into the water while fishing to accelerate their gains. If you don’t have enough money or the necessary level to purchase them, consider going fishing and collecting trout that have been dropped.
Level 30-49
At level 30, you can switch to tuna. You can catch tuna at Karamja by using a harpoon however, you’ll need 35 fishing. It is also possible to pick up lost tuna, but make sure to bring an ax and some tinder because you won’t be able to find a cooking stove in Karamja.
Level 50-99
Once you have reached level 50, you are able to cook swordfish. Again, swordfish is available at Karamja however, you must levels 50 to fish. It is recommended to don’t cook swordfish until level 86 as you won’t cause as much fire to the fish.
It will be a very long time to cook swordfish from between 86 and 99. In actuality, you’ll need to cook up to 67,000 swordfish.
If you purchase fish directly and sell the cooked fish it will cost you about 4 million starting at level 1 to level 99. Note that before you reach certain levels, your food may frequently burn. Prioritizing salmon before tuna and swordfish will keep you from wasting ingredients and will make your food more efficient. Food that is burned will not give XP, so you’ll want to avoid it as far as you can.
What’s what is the Best Cooking Strategy for P2P?
Follow the same steps as above up until level 50. After that, you can begin cooking using different methods to increase your experience quicker.
Level 1-50
For levels 1-50, you can follow the same steps listed in the F2P section above. We’ve given a quick reminder below. Keep in mind that since members can earn money faster, it makes more sense to buy the fish in bulk as opposed to fishing or taking other people’s fish that have been dropped by others.
Shrimp – Level 1-15
Trout – Level 15-30
Tuna – Level 30-50
Level 50-75
Once you reach level 50, you should begin cooking lobsters. Prices vary widely however, you shouldn’t lose many dollars in most cases. It is best to purchase and cook lobsters from levels 50 until level 75. You can buy lobsters through the Grand Exchange.
It is necessary to cook approximately 9,000 lobsters before reaching level 75. It will take about 10 hours of fishing. If you’ve got lots amount of money to invest, you can accelerate the process by stopping the lobsters after you’ve reached the level of 68.
Level of 68-79
At the level 68 you can directly make jugs of wine. All you need to do is purchase grapes, a jug of water and use the grapes from the former. Wine can be made all the way to level 99. It’s about 35 hours, and you’ll be required to spend around 12.5 million.
If you’re struggling to come up with cash, stay with lobsters, and then begin to cook swordfish after level 75. It is possible to cook the swordfish until you reach level 80. If you buy that swordfish at level 80, then you’ll be losing several hundred thousand. It will take 5 hours to get the level from 75 up to 80.
Level 80-99
When you’ve reached level 80, you’ll be able to go to sharks. You can also purchase raw sharks and selling cooked sharks will not cost you much money. From levels 80 to 99, you should only loss 1-2 million.
It should take about 40 hours to progress from level 80 up to 99 by cooking sharks.
The general rule is to progress from level 1 to level 99 in roughly 50 hours, or 40 hours in the case of making wine jugs.
Fishing can take up to 10 hours, however you’ll pay only 2-3 million at most, instead of 12-13 million.
Alternative Methods and Additional Information
Cooking Karambwans can be an ideal method for learning cooking. You’ll need to be able to finish a couple of quests to achieve this. It can be done in AFK, however with the slight loss of the amount of XP you gain. It also costs some gold, so take note of that when deciding on a method.
Barbarian Fishing is another method you can try. You can cut the fish you catch for some Cooking XP with a knife. However, this is only effective up to a certain point. In the end, its primary focus is on fishing and you’ll be able to max the skill before you can get as far with Cooking. It could be a great method to save money and begin to develop both skills.
Ironmen will have to procure their own food items, making Barbarian Fishing a convenient activity to take part in. The other methods are only swift and effective when you purchase the ingredients at a wholesale price, therefore those options are unavailable for ironmen.
Winemaking is also available as an option to F2P players, but the amount required (if starting from level 35) can be overwhelming. Only do the methods you can afford.
Ironmen and F2P players are able to use ironmen as well. Mess Hall with the requisite Hosidius House favor. It is a great source of XP and ability, and you don’t require storage of ingredients nor have to invest a lot of money. The job involves serving others by setting up utensils and cooking food. What kind of food you can serve will depend on your cooking level.
Since the fluctuations in prices on the Grand Exchange are so massive that it is possible to sell fish at a higher price than you purchased them. However, usually, if you take the possibility of burning into account the possibility of burning, you may be able to lose a bit of gold.
There’s also an alternative to consider for those with the ability to access Lunar spells. Through this Bake Pie spell in the Lunar spellbook, you are able to earn Magic Experience by making pie. It is necessary to spend money on runes to cast these spells, as well as non-cooked pies.
This technique is ideal since you can do it in the Grand Exchange and don’t need to burn wood or be concerned about burning fish. However, it’s expensive and certainly not the fastest option for earning cooking experience.
There is still this Bake Pie spell as a method for training both Magic and cooking. It’s practicable all the way to level 99 cooking. It’s best to only consider it if money isn’t a concern.
Conclusion
Cooking is among the simplest and cost-effective techniques to master to the level of 99. In fact, if you are lucky, you might even profit from buying raw fish, and selling the cooked fish.
