Overview

COOK

A cook is of vital importance to the economy on Firan, supplying food for everyone to eat! There are so many scrumptious recipes for cooks to try out, from the standard pregnancy favorite lamb stew to the fabulous noble favorite lobster bisque, sweets that include strawberry tarts and fruitcakes, and simple foods for the common folk, like meat stew and cheese.

An excellent resource for cooks is the Pot Luck Pantry, created by one of our long-time players that enables you to select which ingredients you have on hand and it will tell you what foods you can make.

Some cooks are also servants in noble houses.

Equipment

Cooks will require a set of cooking utensils in order to cook, and a roaring hot fire, requiring flint to start and fuel to maintain - logs or bones being the favorites, as well as other objects, such as a drying rack, a set of clay jars or wooden bowls for making things like corn meal, a bucket for making cheeses.

Attributes and Skills

The cooking skill is extremely important to cooks, as well as the necessary attention to concentrate on what they're doing. A fabulous cook will have a high cooking skill and a high level of attention, meaning they can focus on the minutia of the tasks.

Game commands
