Runescape Strategy Guide
Cooking is a skill that is best raised along with fishing, and while not the most profitable skill, it is certainly worthwhile to level it up (especially if you like to go pking).
~~~~~The quickest way to raise Cooking~~~~~.
This way only works if you have a lot of money.
Level 1-15:
Buy a Small Net (sold in Port Sarim), a Tinder Box (sold in all general stores) and an axe (sold opposite the Lumbridge Graveyard) and head to Draynor Bank.
There are a couple of fishing spots next to the bank. Take your Tinder Box, Small Net and Axe, and use the Small Net on a fishing spot (fishing exp!).
Wait a few seconds and… LIKE OMG A SHRIMP!
Keep fishing shrimp until you have 25. Then go cut down a tree (woodcutting exp!), and light the log you get on fire (firemaking exp!). Then use a shrimp on the fire, right click the shrimp which comes up on the screen and select ‘Cook all’ and sit and watch it cook.
yAy! Cooking exp!
Dangers – If you’re a low level in combat then there’s a couple of dark wizards near the fishing spots that can easily kill you. Avoid them at all costs. Remember to watch out for fishing and woodcutting randoms.
Level 15-20:
You said you had a lot of money – heres where you get to spend it.
Buy the best type of fish you can cook in a raw condition. Then guess what, you cook it!
Buy as many fish as you can at a time and then mass-cook them some place near a bank.
The first fish to start off with is trout – you can buy them like everywhere.
If you’re a member then head to the forums to buy them. If you’re not a member then you can still look on the forums, or find a place where trout are cooked on a populated world and buy them there.
Level 20-25:
Same as before, but buy Pike instead. They are full of potential cooking exp, just waiting to be released!
Level 25-30:
Now buy Salmon! Salmon were born to be cooked, by you of course.
Level 30-40:
This time you’re buying tuna. At level 32 you will be able to enter the Cooking Guild, where you will find cooking a lot easier.
Level 40-45:
Buy Lobsters, these things are incredibly easy to buy. They heal lots too.
Level 45-80:
Buy and cook Swordfish. These things are pretty hard to buy, and you’re going to need a lot of them. You may want to consider getting your fishing up around this point, or to continue buying lobsters.
Level 80-99:
If you’re a member, you should now be buying Sharks. If not, continue using whatever method you used before. Congratulations, you are the ultimate Chef!
~If you’re poor or want to raise your fishing level as you go~

Fishing Level 20-40:
Now, fly fish for Trout, cook, repeat. Yay!
Fishing Level 40-60:
Fly fish for Salmon. And yes, you get to cook them as well.
Fishing Level 60-85:
Now go fish for Swordfish. And *gasp* cook them.
Fishing Level 85-99:
If you’re a member then catch Sharks. If not, keep catching Swordfish.
