[Q] Where can I get cooking ingredients?

Step 3

Objective [Q] Where can I get cooking ingredients?

Summary Food vendors in town sell the basics.
In major cities like Calpheon, you'll find fruit and mushrooms, too!
Everything else comes from nature.
For Gathering tips, ask Zelfinith.

Step 4

Objective [Q] How do I know what ingredients to use?

Summary Want recipes? Haha, sure!
It's all about mixing ingredients in the right proportions.
※ Check Crafting Notes in Adventurer's Board (ExpirienceWiki) or
via Menu (Cancel) - Information (Help) for materials and acquisition methods.

Step 5

Objective [Q] Can I use similar ingredients in Cooking?

Summary You don't have to follow recipes to the letter.
Get creative. Try swapping in similar ingredients!
For example, Barley works
instead of Wheat for Grain Soup.
Got an alternative? Give it a shot!
Worried about the taste? You might discover something new!
※ Check item descriptions for alternative materials.

Step 6

Objective [Q] How do I package dishes for Imperial Delivery?

Summary To deliver dishes via Imperial Delivery, package them properly.
Your reputation's on the line!
Sort your dishes by grade, pack them in the right cooking box,
and take them to the Imperial Crafting Delivery Manager in town.
Since it's for the Imperial Court, you'll get a fair price,
but remember there's a daily delivery limit.
※ Use the Processing window (Manufacture) to package for Imperial Cuisine.
Deliver up to half your maximum Contribution Points per day.

Step 7

Objective [Q] How do I package multiple dishes at once?

Summary The Material Vendor or Old Moon Manager sells
Heavy Duty Packaging Cord for imperial deliveries.
Use it to package dishes in bulk.
Quality stays intact.
※ Use a Heavy Duty Packaging Cord to bundle 10 medicine boxes at once for Imperial Delivery.
※ Use 10 Heavy Duty Packaging Cords and Black Stone Powder to package 100 boxes at once.

Step 8

Objective [Q] What's the benefit of leveling up my Cooking?

Summary As you improve, you'll be able to unlock
more advanced recipes and richer flavors.
If the Imperial Court recognizes your skill,
you'll earn more and use ingredients more efficiently.
※ Level up Cooking to unlock more recipes
and increase Cooking Mastery.
※ Higher Cooking Mastery increases your chance for mass cooking,
maximum yield, and greater profit from Imperial Delivery.

Step 9

Objective [Q] Do I have to gather ingredients myself?

Summary If you have workers, they can help.
For details, talk to Maurizio.

Step 10

Objective [Q] How do I graduate?

Summary ※ After completing all Combat and Life Skill Courses,
the graduation quest becomes available during the graduation period.
Visit Justin Bartali, the Olvia Academy Headmaster,
to begin the graduation quest.

Step 11

Tell me,
do you know what it really takes to make good food?

Step 12

Objective I made Signature Sweet Chocolate.

Summary Oh, excellent work!

Step 13

Objective I made Signature Sour Chocolate.

Summary Oh, excellent work!

Step 14

If you don't feel ready just yet,
take a little time and think it over. No rush.

Step 15

Objective Alright. I want to sign up for the course.

Summary I can see it in your eyes...
you've made up your mind.

Step 16

Objective I don't think I'm ready yet.

Summary So, you're not there yet? Fair enough.
Then come back once you feel good and ready. I'll be right here.

Step 17

Fine ingredients won't walk through the door
just because you sit around waiting for them.

Step 18

Objective [Guide] Lesson guide

Summary ※ Ask Fredelles about getting different Cooking materials.
When you feel you understand, reply with [Complete].

Step 19

Objective [Complete] I understand everything!

Summary So, do you understand how to get
Cooking ingredients now?

Step 20

Objective How do I gather ingredients on my own?

Summary The surest way is simple. Go out into nature,
gather what you need, and process it yourself.
If you want the full rundown, go see Professor Zelfinith for Gathering,
and Professor Lillia for Processing.
And when you need meat, Hunting is a fine path too.
Professor Leo Laurie will set you straight.

Step 21

Objective What's the Central Market?

Summary The Central Market has just about every material you could ask for.
If you've got Silver, you can get what you need without much trouble.
No time to gather? Or hunting for something rare you can't easily find?
Then take a look around the Market.
Just remember: good materials cost a pretty penny...
and they sell fast. You'll need a sharp eye and quick hands.

Step 22

Objective What are Workers?

Summary Send a reliable Worker out from a Node,
and they'll bring back quality materials like clockwork.
Just don't forget! You'll need to take care of them too. Meals, lodging, the whole lot.
If you want to hire, Professor Maurizio Dorelli knows the process best.

Step 23

So, how about we send some Workers out
and gather what you need?

Step 24

Go meet Martina Finto at Finto Farm.
Once you activate the Finto Farm Node, you're set.

Step 25

If you want a steady, generous supply,
make sure you remember how to connect nodes properly.

Step 26

Did you know this? If your Workers want to recover their Stamina,
you'll need to cook the right kind of food for them.

Step 27

Objective Ripe Dried Persimmon

Summary That's... something from the Land of the Morning Light?
Close, but no, that's not the one.

Step 28

Objective Golden Grilled Bird Meat

Summary Oh! Not what we're making today,
but that's a clean, correct answer.
Grilled Bird Meat and Beer are exactly what Workers love most.
So this time, let's brew up a nice, cold Beer.

Step 29

Objective Grain-brewed Beer

Summary Correct. After a hard day's work,
Workers call a mug of Beer a blessing.

Step 30

Before we get into the real cooking, go pay Zaaira a visit.
She'll have good ingredients ready and waiting.

Step 31

After that, you'll be able to make food for your workers.
Then It'll be your turn to show me what you've got.

Step 32

You can use the Cooking Utensil at the Academy.
Just do what I told you, and you'll have it done in no time.

Step 33

And listen, Cooking isn't just about filling your stomach, you see.
The value changes depending on how you use it.

Step 34

First, you'll want to understand what Imperial Cuisine delivery is all about.
Alright now, listen close.

Step 35

Objective What's Imperial Cuisine Delivery?

Summary The Imperial buyers purchase goods at a fixed 250% value.
They'll also reward you with special seals you can exchange for various goods.
You won't strike it rich in one go,
but if you want steady profit, I recommend delivery.

Step 36

So how do you deliver Imperial Cuisine?
It doesn't end with simply "cooking."

Step 37

Objective How do I make a delivery?

Summary If you're delivering to people that important, you can't just hand it over loose,
you've got to package it properly.
So don't just listen.
This time, you'll practice packaging your dishes into a deliverable form yourself.
Don't worry. It's simple.
Once you package dishes you made through Processing, you're done.

Step 38

Pack Beer x60 neatly,
and bring me Apprentice's Cooking Box x5.

Step 39

But don't get ahead of yourself.
Imperial Delivery isn't finished just because you made the boxes.

Step 40

Imperial Crafting Delivery Managers are found in major cities.
Find one, deliver the boxes, then come back.

Step 41

At this point, you've shaken off that "rookie cook" look.
Time to try something with a bit more class.

Step 42

For the appetizer, use 1 Dried Mudskipper to 3 Onions,
plus 2 Cheese and 2 Dressing. Go on, give it a try.

Step 43

That appetizer was solid.
So next up: a hearty main dish.

Step 44

This recipe ratio is Pork 5, Wheat Dough 4,
Garlic 2, and Pepper 3.

Step 45

Now,
let's make something for dessert.

Step 46

For Milk Tea, the ratio is Tea With Fine Scent 2,
Milk 3, Cooking Honey 3, and Wheat Flour 2.

Step 47

Now it's finally time to complete the full course.
Once again, it's your turn to shine!

Step 48

I've left the other dishes to Zaaira.
Serve everything together and finish the Calpheon Meal.

Step 49

You've worked hard.
I think I've taught you just about everything I can.

Step 50

Now,
pour everything you've got into this meal.

Step 51

You're my pride and joy now, my finest apprentice.
Hahaha! What a fine dish.

Step 52

Now then, to bless your new beginning...
Let's raise our voices together and shout the chant!
