Cooking

Cooking is a life skill that allows the player to cook dishes that restores HP and/or MP for individuals or for the party. There are also many dishes that provide bonus benefits during battle and those that provide bonus rewards after battle (not sure if stackable if companion consumes the same dish). The player must first find the level 0 recipe before the player can start training the skill, however consulting Bai Jin will easily allow the player to gain at least 2 levels. The skill can only be preformed at an Inn when talking to an innkeeper.

== Materials ==
Materials needed for cooking are obtained by fishing, foraging, defeating mobs and trading merchants. A majority of the ingredients are from fishing and foraging, however there are some niche ingredients that must be obtained from killing mobs. General ingredients like flour, meat, and eggs must be purchased from merchants.
==== Buying Material ====
Players must interact with several merchants to complete a single dish as the recipes contains items across several categories. (crude drug seller + ingredient seller + fisherman)

==== Collecting Materials ====
Cooking reaches across several item pools to create unique dishes and effects, therefore there are several locations to gather items from. Some recipes require certain herbs/drugs which can be gathered at specific resources points. These resource points will replenish itself after some time and will require Stamina to gather. If the player runs out of stamina, the player may not collect any more resources until the player consumes Stamina restoration pills/elixir or until the player has rested. Most recipes will require some sort of fish that can be caught through fishing. This action also consumes stamina. Collecting high quality herbs and fish will also burn more stamina so plan accordingly if farming ingredients. And lastly, the general ingredients used in cooking must be purchased from vendors.
