Best cooking spot?

HI all I’m a newcomer to this server

I basically have retained no knowledge of rs from 21 years ago, and I was wondering how to go about cooking things quickly near a bank. Is there somewhere with a cooking range close by or do I have to make my own fires

I took a look at the code and this is my understanding. Devs, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Foods have different sets of success rates. In order from lowest to highest:

  • Fire
  • Range
  • Cook-o-matic (Lumbridge castle range)
  • Cooking gauntlets

Not all foods have all of these different success rates. This means for some foods fire vs range makes no difference, or range vs cook-o-matic, or gauntlets.

To find out for a specific food item, check the source code: Content/scripts/skill_cooking/configs/cooking_source/cooking_generic.dbrow at 225 · LostCityRS/Content · GitHub

Gauntlets only affect lobsters, swordfish and shark. Cooking with gauntlets has a fixed success rate that does not change based on fire vs range, so if you are cooking one of those 3 foods with gauntlets, cooking on a fire close to a bank is most efficient. I think Draynor bank is a good spot for that.

If you want to use a range, Catherby is the closest to a bank. You might want to consider whether the increased cook rate is worth the lost time running to the range vs lighting a fire though.

If you plan to catch your own fish at the fishing guild, many people will cook it on the range there after each invent.

Good luck! Hope this helps.

It does, thanks so much

Catherby has a range directly next to the bank, also the bank in the fishing guild has 6-tiles close to the door where you can light a fire INSIDE of the bank.
