Cooking

A recent update has added herbalism, gathering, and cooking to Baldur's Gage: The Sword Coast Chronicles!

More details can be found here: https://bgtscc.net/viewtopic.php?f=496&t=79449

The cooking system is NOT intended to be a perfect replica of cooking in the real world. It is supposed to approximate cooking in an enjoyable manner. However, a unlike Gathering, Cooking has no associated XP granted for producing goods even if he / she spends weeks on end fishing. The Sword Coast economy doesn't revolve around adventurer-chefs (mostly).

Regardless of how skilled they are, a character is limited to what they can cook by their available ingredients, and in this way are tied closely to the gathering mechanics. An individual will often be limited to amy maximum gaterhing and processing limits of those ingredients, unless they can obtain supplies from other characters.

Common Ingredients:

Fresh Water - Gathered in endless quantities from many water-sources.
Wheat - Gathered from Crops in many farming communities; Limit 12 per reset
Milk - Gathered from Milk Pails near cattle; Limit 6 per reset
Flour - Produced at a Windmill near many fields, turning 3 to 5 Wheat into a single bag of Flour (*)
Butter - Produced at a Butter Churn in many kitchens, turning 3 Milk into 1 Butter
Chocolate - Available from some food stores and merchants
Fruits - Gathered from many trees, shrubs, and plants across the Coast.
Fish - Fished from streams and rivers across the Coast.
Meat - Harvested from the carcasses of fallen animals.

(*) The conversation for Flour will convert 3 wheat if that is all you have, but will consume up to 5 wheat if you have more. A patch is in the works to fix this at 3 wheat always.
