Tips for Success
- Experiment with ingredient combinations if you don’t have a recipe scroll yet. Unlocking a recipe this way feels rewarding.
- Prioritize meals with longer durations (like Tomato Soup or Stew) for extended expeditions.
- Duplicate recipe scrolls aren’t wasted—they upgrade your meals to gourmet versions with better stats. Aim for these when possible.
- Keep an eye out for misleading descriptions (e.g., Corn on the Cob doesn’t need butter). Trust the ingredient list over the text.
