This guide will teach you how to cook and also how to earn money from it.


Quick description
Scavenging and cooking is a very good way to earn a lot of money but it might take a while to do. If you want to maximize the amount of money you earn you will have to reach level 25 scavenging as at this level you will only find excellent and perfect quality items and these are the ones you will be making money from. (This does not mean that you cant make money before level 25) Not only does the quality of the food increase when leveling up but the statistics of the foods will also improve. Getting to level 25 is definitely a great way to make money but it does require a lot of time.

Getting started
To start off you want to decide what kind of food you want to cook and then sell. I always go for coffee, bleach, and cyanide pills since these are the items that most people want especially if they are higher level but this is entirely up to you.

Where to find recipes

You can find most recipes hidden around the map but if you are lazy you can find someone that knows the recipe and then buy it from them. There are no set prices to the recipes that means the person you buy it from is the one that decides the price so find someone that is willing to sell it at a low price.

How the recipes work
On the recipe, it will tell you which ingredients you need and on the bottom, it says at what temperature and how long they need to be cooked for. If it says 60 seconds on the hob at gas mark 2 you put all your ingredients in a cooking pot and place it on the hob and click on the arrows until it says 2 and cook it for 60 seconds. (A timer will hover over the pot displaying how long it has been on the hob) If it says 20 seconds in the oven at 180c you put all your ingredients in an oven tray and place it in the oven and click on the arrow until it says 180c and cook it for 20 seconds. (Again a timer will hover above the oven)

Where to find ingredients
Once you have found a recipe you want to use you have to find all of the ingredients needed. All of the ingredients can be found in the many food stacks scattered around the map or they can be bought from the dinner lady in one of the 3 kitchens on the map there is one in each base and 1 in the town. (not all ingredients can be bought from the shop). Note that the quality and level of the items you buy will depend on your cooking level meaning that if you have a high cooking level the food that you buy from the dinner lady will be the same level.

When you have found all of the necessary ingredients you can start cooking them at one of the 3 kitchens. When you have found a stove to start cooking at you can spawn in an oven tray or cooking pot in the f4 menu and if your stove needs more fuel (Look on the orange bar at the bottom of the stove) you can buy more at the dinner lady. Then you just follow the instructions on the recipe and you are done with the cooking.

Making money
Now it's time to start selling your product you can either try setting up a business as a civ where you drive to people and deliver them food for money or you can set up a drug cartel and do black-market deals selling cyanide pills. Selling cyanide pills is very profitable but also very illegal so don't get caught by your superiors you will be punished especially if you are selling to the enemy but this is how you make the most money. To find buyers you can either pm individual people which is safer but takes a longer time. Or you can make an announcement over /oc saying what you are offering and for how much. When dealing with cyanide pills try disguising the name with something else, for example, aspirin or sleeping pills be creative just don't get caught.

You are the one that decides the price but keep it fair don't go overboard since no one will buy it. If the product you are selling has a good quality and a high-level people will pay more. Once you have set up a deal go meet with that person try bringing some friends to avoid being kidnapped always try to make them pay first. If you have brought backup it might seem tempting to kidnap your buyer but this will reduce your reputation and slow down future sales your customers need to be able to trust you.

Now repeat this process until you have millions
