  • 3.1-6 Orange Juice. Water Crystal + 4x Sautura orange. Oranges are cheapest at vendor near northern exit in Win Water. Money loser. But since the material is cheap, just cope with it.

      • I got to 47 with this guide guys, so just stick with it if you are actually going with this craft, it's the truth. Also I didn't start making OJ's til I got to 6, where I don't gain the level's anymore hehe.

        • Well ive capped at tonosama rice balls and i think that is as far as i am taking cooking. I might do Sweet rice cakes after i get haubergeon and ametit+1, but probably not. Fresh mugwarts are rediculous.

          In hindsight cooking is not the moneymaker i thought it would be. I knew it wouldn't be nearly as good as other crafts but it is even less profitable than i had hoped. No doubt this is due to the high volume of high level cooks on my server. By diversifying your sales you can do ok, but doing diverse synthing can take hours, because of the insane amounts of ingredients you have to gather for the different items. Even with gobbie bag IV, and 70 inv spaces as well as a mule in all 4 nations it is a real hassle. Other lv60 Freinds in my LS can farm gil about as fast as i can make it from cooking sales.

          But dont' get me wrong i am glad i took cooking almost all the way. I get more use out of it for myself and my LS then i would get out of any other craft i think. It is very convienient to be able to consistantly make myself chiefkabobs, and the occasional red curry when i want to go all out so i have no regrets.

          Given the relative ease with wich you can level cooking i'd say it is the perfect craft for people who want a craft but don't want to spend alot of time leveling it.

          Here is the route i took after 55:

          Stone cheese 55-61
          colored egg 61-66
          SanD tea 66-69
          pear au lait 69-72

          With no failures and high fame you will break even on stone cheese. Colored eggs and SanD tea is a big loss unless you grow your own ingredients and then it is still a loss. I recomend starting pear au lait at 65. Thats what i would have done except it wasn't in the game until i was already a 69 cook. Pear au lait is super and you will make money leveling off it.

          choco milk 72-74
          pamama au lait 74-81

          Choco milk is a pain but you can come close to breaking even on it if you do it right. I have a big post about it on pg9 of this thread. After choco milk you will be making money on all your synthing right up until you decide not to level anymore. Pamama au lait is a money maker, has few ingredients, and sells fast. Only thing that would make it more perfect is if it stacked.

          pumpkin pie 81-85

          Pumpkin pie is another nice money maker so long as you gather the ingredients properly(buy ingredients from npcs not AH). At 5k per stack i was almost sad when i capped it.

          rolanberry pie/persikos au lait 85-90

          Rolanberry pies and persikos au lait will both make you money. As to wich on is better it is a matter of personal preferance. After trying both i like rolanberry pies, because there are a few things about persikos i don't like. For one you can only get persikos from failed attemps at growing dark elemental ore using tree saplings and dark crystals. This grow takes 3-4 weeks. Basically this means that you have to buy them off AH and even then the availiblility is limited. On top of this persikos au lait is a much more expensive synth than rolanberry pies so failures are alot more costly. Also i noticed that rolanberry pies seem to sell a touch faster for me. So my recomendation is rolanberry pies.

          Flint caviar/tonosama rice balls 90-94

          Probably the most profitable synth ive done that isnt HQ and extremely convenient. I went from 90 to 94 in a single day. For starters Flint caviar is a lv92 synth, tonosamas are a level 94 synth. But what is so nice is that flint caviar is actually the most difficult ingredient to come by for tonosamas. So while you are leveling your craft synthing cavier you are at the same time stocking yourself with the most expensive ingredient for tonosamas. To do this synth you have to start with an emperor fish and split it into 4 emperor roes with a lighting crystal. Then synth flint cavier using a dark crystal, emperor roe and rock salt to get 3 flint caviers for each roe. Then each flint cavier is good for 2 tonosama rice balls. So even though emperor fish are so expensive 1 fish will yield 2 stacks of tonosamas. The rest of the ingredients for tonosamas are super cheap.

          So good luck to all future veteran cooks. I hope you can get as much use out of it as i have been able too. ^^

            • Just my two cents:

              As suggested, I've been doing Pear Au Lait from 65, and have just hit 70.

              Although it does sell at the AH, it sells very, very, very slowly. Finally, I couldn't stand having all my AH spaces perpetually clogged, I started selling them off to NPCs at a loss.

                • Hey guys, I got to 50 the other night and wondering, how much money will it cost me (or do I need) to get from 50-94 (for Tonosama Balls)?? And what route should I take?? I see Zanfron's helps once i get to 55, but before that?? I am currently doing Crayfish balls to get to 52 as Xeph mentioned, but after that I dunno, what's the most cost efficient from 52 onwards???

                  Ikari

                  P.S. Loss or money maker, either way I wanna know which one is the best, since I wanna get to 94 :D

                        • Go straight for Rolanberry Pies when you've reached 85.

                          • when i hit 81 i stopped with pamama au lait...then i started doing maron glace...that was really easy stuff..i dont break much

                            ingridents are

                            1 dark crystal
                            1 grape juice
                            2 chestnuts
                            1 maple sugar...

                            i would recommend doing this in sandoria...go to the shop that gets the stuff from ronfaure...and there's the grape to make the grape juice and chestnuts...
                            go up to the other store to find the maple sugar...
                            and u have the AH right next to you to get the crystals..
                            thats no down time running around windurst waiting for guild to open and that crap...
                            anyways that will take you up to 86 with really nice skill raise..

                            now i think i will go on rolanberry pies....its gonna give me a hassle i need to clear up space ; ;

                            good luck everyone ill give u another update once i lvl more...
