The RuneScoop Ultimate Skill Guide - Dungeoneering - Skill Stations Farming Patches

Cooking ranges are used to cook food within Daemonheim. The concept is very similar to how ranges work in the rest of RuneScape, though there are some important differences both in terms of how the ranges operate, and how to ensure that your food gets cooked without burning too much of it.

Dungeoneering cook ranges look like square hearths with a prominent exhaust pipe coming out of the top. They are usually found in the corners of rooms that have walls or partitions, and not “out in the open”. They are often located adjacent to farming patches, which is convenient for making topped potatoes. (They are not often located near fishing spots, unfortunately!) I believe there is always a cooking range in the Enigmatic Hoardstalker challenge room.

Overall, cooking ranges are somewhat uncommon on Dungeoneering floors. They aren’t as rare as prayer altars, for example, but aren’t as common as farming patches.

Unlike RuneScape ranges, cooking ranges in Daemonheim must be fired before you can use them. Get some branches either by chopping a tree or buying them from the smuggler, and use them on the range. Then use a tinderbox on the range and it will change its status to “lit”. You can then use raw food on the range to cook it. Each firing of the range last about 60 to 90 seconds.

The only foods that you can cook in a range are raw potatoes and raw fish. Mushrooms do not need cooking, nor do topped potatoes. You can cook fish at any complexity level 2 and above, while potatoes are only an option for complexity levels 5 and 6.

Like in the rest of Gielinor, you can also cook items on an open fire, but you have a greater chance of success if you use a cook range instead. Unlike in the rest of the game, your burn rate depends also on the type of wood you use! The higher the tier of the branches you use, the greater the chance of successfully cooking items used on the fire or the range. The probability of burning increases dramatically if you try to cook high-end food using low-end branches.

For example, if you are cooking raw heim crabs (tier 1) using corpsethorn branches (tier 8), you are likely to burn very few of them. But if you’re trying to cook salve eels (tier 8) using tangle gum branches (tier 1), then a lot of them are going to go up in smoke. And since raw fish are a limited resource, it is worth using decent quality branches to minimize loss due to burning.

In the skill tables section I have tables for cooking fish and topped potatoes, showing the levels required and XP gained for each item. Note that you can boost Cooking using a weak, regular or strong naturalist’s potion.
