Anemone's Study: Cooking

Anemone’s Study of Cooking, in Everyday Life of Vana’Diel


Ever since I was the age to become a Heroine, other citizens and thrill-seekers would talk about cooking and how it would help them when training to become stronger. During my earlier days I believed that food magically appeared from the Auction House or my mommy Mithra made it. Now that I have grown up and obtained more knowledge, I know now that adventurers create and make the food, for himself or herself, for selling. I will travel over to Windurst, and observe cooking from the cooking guild and cooking skill from various other venturous fighters.

Gathering myself, I strolled down to the cooking guild area, looking around noticing a multitude of chefs in the area. I talked to a Mithra who was standing near me. Her name was Qhum Knaidjn, asking her what she did, she told me the Culinary Guild Workers Union had appointed her to accept all manufactured goods from adventurers. Though she could not accept goods from those who had below standard culinary skills. Currently my culinary skill wasn’t as refined, so that is probably why Ms. Qhum wasn’t accepting manufactured goods from me. Possibly during my little expedition of the Culinary Guild I will enhance my cooking skill as well.

Ambling around the Culinary Guild a bit more watching as venturesome chefs ran in and out of the Culinary Guild’s shop. I walked into the shop and scoped it out. Behind the counter was a Mithra and Tarutaru, the shop’s proprietresses, inspecting the shop to see what they sold. Everything sold were ingredients for adventurers to buy. The items were fairly priced from observing. Inquiring the two store proprietresses if the prices were at a fixed price. The two responded. Telling me that some of their items were at a static price as well as quantity being limited, in addition to rapid sales. After the short discussion, the two store proprietresses went about serving the other customers as I left quietly. Strolling back down to Windurst Woods, enjoying the scenery as it passed.

Setting foot into Windurst Woods I made a beeline for the Auction House, which is where many heroes and heroines were standing around, even saw a few cooks amongst the group. I chatted with one bold and daring person called “Cookie Cakes” asking her how she did her cooking, telling me she bought most her ingredients from the Regional Vendors. Prices were better, in addition to the quantity had no shortage of sold ingredients. Furthermore, Ms. Cakes could not procure all the necessary ingredients from a certain region, since sometimes the nation of choice she cooked in did not achieve conquest superiority for the next 175 days. On top of that, not all things were easily obtainable via regional vendors. Ms. Cakes informed. Recipes that required a higher skill of cooking only had ingredients that were obtainable by killing monsters. Making it complex. Querying Ms. Cakes, how was she able to obtain such ingredients, she made aware that she did not have the fighting experience, to fight these monster herself. She would actually appeal help from her compadres and other madcap partners, which were more than willing. Saying farewell to Ms. Cakes, entrusting her to her cooking, wandering off.

The sun had gone, as the hour of darkness had been brought upon the city. Starting to think to myself. I will start a small self taught lesson from what was learned from these travelers I encountered today.

As daybreak rose over the city of Windurst, I ambled over to one of the local regional vendors buying up some oranges from the Tarutaru vendor. Hastening back to the Windurst Woods Auction House, I acquired a stack of water crystals. The plan of action went into play, to make a creation. Following a few assessment and oversight, outcomes. An accomplished task finally produced, six individual orange juice bottles.

Hereinafter, the observation of Culinary Guild activity alongside wanderer’s developing a like to cooking. It has become apparent, that cooking is entirely trouble-free. A very simple endeavor, if one knows where to obtain, and create culinary delights
