Finding Ingredients for Cooking
Cooking in New World includes a huge variety of foods that can be crafted with various ingredients. This is how ingredients can be gathered:
- Going to any farm and gathering whatever is around (Make sure to harvest all the herbs/seasonings, berries on the bushes, honey on the trees, etc. that you come across, all of the ingredients gathered come in handy).
- Looting provision crates.
- Purchase from the market.
- Killing animals (boards, wolves, etc.) to get pork and red meat.
Earning profits alongside gathering ingredients
After killing boars, they drop pork - a tier 1 ingredient we need for making meals, and also rawhide, which can be sold and the profit can be used to purchase ingredients that are slower to harvest or rare or difficult to attain. Additionally, Attribute-boosting foods can be made and sold on the Trading post as they usually sell very fast. As a wide variety of ingredients are available, the best choice differs from server to server.
Cooking Gear
Cooking has a unique set of gear that can be equipped to increase the chance to craft additional items. You can generally find these as drops or on the Trading Post, however, some pieces can be much rarer than others and therefore more costly. The gears and their drop sources are as follows:
- Chef hat: Skysong Maiden Ping - Ebonscale Reach
- Chef shirt: Viridulon the rootbound- Reekwater
- Chef Gloves: Unhallowed Soul of Myrkgard – Great Cleave
- Chef Pants: Fay the Last Protector – Shattered Mountain
- Chef shoes: Pit Lord Daehi – Shattered Mountain
- Earring: They are usually very cheap and can be easily purchased from the market.
Cooking trophies
Cooking also has trophies much like any other trade skill. These trophies work to increase your outcome when cooking items in terms of chance and amount of bonus items overall. Crafting these requires a special ingredient that can be obtained from supply stockpiles. You will require coins to get the trophies easily, so make sure you buy buy New World: Aeternum coins for smoother progress.

Conclusion

While gathering ingredients, make sure to store all the ingredients you come across, abundant or not, they come in handy for this process.

Luck trophies in your house, consumables like Rabbit Foot, and gems like Pearl in your gear help in increasing the luck.
