Cooking

Cooking (Wis)
Cooking is the ability to prepare delicious gourmet meals while inside of Aincrad using a number of different materials available to players. Food drops do not occur every time a creature dies but is a percentage rolled by the DM to determine what type of food is dropped, if at all.

How to Cook
In order to cook a meal, a player must be out of combat and be unobstructed. The player must have all the necessary ingredients to cook the food such as utensils, meat, vegetables, and the necessary cooking method. Not all ingredients need to be cooked however a vast majority of meats require it. Cooking takes 1 minute per lb of food being prepared and takes 5 minutes to consume per lb. The average player will consume 2 lbs of food per day in Aincrad (a ration is the equivalent of one lb).

Rare dishes made from monsters
Rare dishes can be crafted from items dropped from monsters with a base DC of 30. Depending on the type of monster, they may be relatively easy or relatively difficult to prepare. However, rare dishes can sell for high prices or grant circumstance bonuses to players stats and abilities.

Certain foods have specific requirements in order to be crafted possibly and if done improperly, can result in harmful consequences to individuals who have consumed the food. The player should keep track of how to prepare certain meals and can purchase recipes from individuals at a price.

Advanced Cooking
You can cook foods that have an almost magical quality to them.

Certain recipes such as that for Displacer Steak possesses advanced cooking methods. You may only benefit from these cooking based effects 1/day, though you may cook any number of meals you wish. Certain types of food such as foods prepared from aberrations are much more difficult to craft than foods prepared from animals.

In general, the formula is DC 20 + (10 x spell level) (cantrips are just 25),. For example, a Cure Light Wounds effect would likely be DC 30. Appropriate material components in the form of ingredients should always be provided. The effects of the spell can be modified based on the type of ingredients used and can drastically affect the DC of the material.
