If you want to cook in Windrose, hiring the the Cook NPC will be the first thing. Having a skilled cook will not only allow you to save resources but will also allow you to produce additional food and prevent shortages. In addition to this, installing a Cooking Fire in your base is important for cooking. In this guide, Iwe walk you through how to hire the Cook NPC and how to set up your cooking station.
How to Hire Cook NPC
In order to recruit the NPC cook (Black Axel), you will need to visit the home base of the People of Tortuga, find him by the campfire, and recruit him at the cost of 500 Piastre. This is an important NPC for the early game as he gives a player a 30% chance of making some additional meals when stationed at a cooking station. Once recruited, you need to visit the home base, use the bonfire (work station), navigate to the “Workers” tab, and station him at the cooking station.
How to Make Cooking Fire
The Cooking Fire is a simple device that allows you to cook various types of food. It also gives you a small comfort boost of +1, which can help a bit around your base. However, do note that multiple fire-based objects provide only one comfort bonus. Thus, building several fires will not affect the bonus. Building the Cooking Fire is very easy and takes just a few seconds to complete. All you need are 3 Wood and 3 Stone to build the station.
Moreover, it is possible to make this station more effective if you add some devices near it. For example, Supplies Rack, Cutting Table, and Cookware Shelf might help enhance the usefulness of the station. With these devices placed nearby, you will be able to have a better efficiency of the station during your cooking.
