Pax Dei: How to Level Cooking Fast

There are tons of different Skills that you will need to utilize when playing Pax Dei. All of your Skills will have a level attached to them, and this level will basically show your proficiency at that Skill. Higher levels will allow you to craft additional items using that Skill.

One of the most important Skills in Pax Dei is Cooking, as it allows you to craft food. While Pax Dei doesn’t require eating food to stay alive, you can use food to gain some valuable bonuses. We will be looking at the fastest way to level up Cooking in this game.

How to Level Cooking Fast

The best way to level up any Skill in Pax Dei is by using it. Cooking is the same, as leveling it up will require you to cook plenty of different items. The more items you cook, the more your level increases.

You will need to have various cooking benches at your base that will allow you to cook food. The Cooking benches that you will need are:

• Charcuterie Workbench
• Cooking Hearth
• Spit Roast
• Cooking Workbench

Additionally, you will also need to have a few Water Wells nearby, as Cooking in this game will require a ton of water. Cooking benches also have higher-tier upgrades that will allow you to unlock different Cooking recipes.

Having multiple Cooking benches will let you cook different food at the same time. This will help speed up your Cooking level much faster.

Utilizing Your Teammates

Pax Dei is a multiplayer game, and other than playing solo, you can also play the game alongside other players. For your Skills, having teammates with you will allow each player in your clan to master different Skills and focus on leveling that Skill only.

So if you are your clan’s designated cook, you can solely focus on leveling up Cooking. You can also level up complementary Skills like Charcuterie when working on Cooking. Focusing on a few Skills will make leveling up those Skills much easier and faster.

Having multiple people focusing on different Skills will help your clan enjoy the benefits of a bunch of different Skills. Check out our guide on the best early-game Professions in Pax Dei to help you find the best Skills to focus on.

Other than that, having a clan will also make it easier for you to get more ingredients. You will need a lot of different ingredients when cooking, and collecting these ingredients can take a lot of time. Having a full clan that can help you gather ingredients will make the whole process much easier.

What to Cook

When Cooking, you will always want to cook food that is useful to you or to your clan. Cooking food that isn’t very valuable will increase your Cooking level, but the food you get won’t be that valuable. Focusing on useful food will let you use the food you cook and at the same time, increase your Cooking level.

What’s useful will depend on what you or your clan need. There are loads of useful items in Pax Dei, but it’s important to consider if they are useful to you. Other than that you should also look at how many resources go into making that item.

Grape Syrup for example takes very little ingredients to make and gives pretty valuable boosts. Food made through animal carcasses is also very useful, and animal carcasses can naturally be harvested whenever you run into that animal when exploring.
