[QUOTE=Kaeporo;1128967]I also love how they're uncapped Cooking, which practically nobody has capped anyway due to the cooking dungeon being a pain in the ass.
I have cooking capped :'), and so do like 5 others in Tarlach. I think Kingofrunes has it capped as well. Personally it's mostly for increasing the frequency of 4 star loved foods for hotspring monkeys and getting nice junk out of it like Unknown Song Vol. II.... or water balloons... +_+[/QUOTE]
My giant has r6 Cooking and I mainly did it so I can have access to making jams and pies for the cooking journal and such [S](Thanks a lot for ruining that, dragon dishes...)[/S]. When I was farming lists (Right before G17S3.), I used an alt that was below total level 30 at the time (For basic difficulty.) and had it focus on fighter and warrior with knuckles in one slot and a shield + room for the cooking knife in the other. The biggest problems I had that I remember were Glewyas's AI, getting unlucky in the spawns where the ratios were thrown off, and finishing the needed number of ingredients early to the point that the last few minutes was simply waiting for the dish to finish cooking, managing aggro, and adjusting ratios for any extra ingredients that have fallen in. (I would simply play dead, but the alt I used for this was a giant. Not the same giant that got r6 Cooking mind you.)

Cooking Dungeon isn't too bad. Looks like the Steaming book will also cost Cooking Lists.
According to Tetosan it takes:
30 List 1 (Bronze)
35 List 2 (Silver)
Which I find odd as that makes it less expensive than the other books if you consider Gold to be higher value. Bronze is a lot easier to get I think than the Gold ones.
But I'll start collecting those in preparation at least and maybe do 35 gold lists when I have time just to be on the safe side.
Of course it also requires Gleywas Secret Shop.
It does sound odd, however the total number of lists needed is more than the previous books with 65 compared to Good Son's 45 (10 + 15 + 20) and All About Pie's 50 (20 + 30). I do indeed consider gold lists to be of higher value given the time and effort required in those recipes along with the fact that there's no recipe that gives out 3 ~ 5 gold lists per run.
Stock up on likeability potions too; if I remember, it took me about 5 to open Glewyas's shop.
