Cooking with Saphryn

"A long march can be made all the easier with the promise of a good meal at the end. While it may seem a mundane talent, a good cook is every adventurer's best friend!"

Cooking is essential for the survival for all people's of Middle-earth, but especially Hobbits. Any adventurer can tell you that travelling with Hobbits can be a tiresome task when it comes to breaking for meals! However, food provides many benefits to all so don't complain too much! A cook can provide food that increases your Power and Morale Regeneration as well as giving boosts to many common stats, such as Might or Vitality.

Farmers can locate food throughout the lands of Middle-earth using their Track Crops skill. They can also grow vegetable crops on Vegetable Farmland. There are rare times that you can find a vegetable at a Novice Cook or Expert Cook.

Remember to keep your Cook friends in mind if you ever come accross a good vegetable crop as they can then provide you with your esssential meals, unless of course you want to live off yucky trail rations all the time.
