Anyone may learn the Cooking trade skill. If you are a resident of a city or commune, you will automatically be a member of the cooking cartel in that location and able to use the unique recipes of that cartel. Generally, as your skill in cooking increases, you will be able to create more complex and tasty meals. Eventually, you'll be able to infuse foods with a variety of beneficial effects, or even poison food. Ultimately, you will be able to host a hero fete, the ultimate in gourmet celebrations. You may only cook in kitchens with a oven.

To light an oven, you need to first put a piece of coal in the oven and then FIRE OVEN.

If one is specified, it must be empty or contain the same fluid, and have enough room in it for the amount you're brewing. Artifact vials, bottles, and keg runes will apply to this brewing.

Refinement

Syntax
REFINE <item> WITH GOLD

REFINE <item> WITH <item>

Power: 10 (general)

Whenever you craft an item, there is a valuation based on the number of commodities and your own skill. If the valuation is high enough, you can use it to trade with aethertraders who occasionally visit aetherbubbles and announce their presence on the MARKET channel. They will only trade a limited amount of items and you will have to compete with other merchants to find them.

Refinement is the process of increasing the valuation of a crafted item with another crafted item of the EXACT same craft design. This will combine the valuation of the two items into one item and can be done repeatedly until the valuation reaches a maximum valuation. You can also bypass this process by simply using gold to increase the valuation, though this costs 12,000 gold per refinement. Also, it costs 10 power per refinement whichever method is used. Refinement also increases the decay time on any item refined.

You can see the valuation when you PROBE crafted cooking items.
