Chef is one of the first professions you unlock in Hopeport. The aim of this guide is to inform players as to the best money making methods within Chef, combined with the most efficient route to level up, aswell as a few bonus tips and tricks.

Why train Chef

Chef can be an easy way to make reliable money early on, especially if sourcing most of the ingredients yourself. Chef Bounties are almost guaranteed profit, while also netting yourself extra experience for each bounty completed. This can be found in The Delectable Dab Kitchen.

Efficient levelling up guide

The Xp/hr will vary depending on if you already have the ingredients in storage or if you buy them from Kevin every run. The following guide and rates assume the player will utilise Kevin's shop to buy ingredients.

0-4: Basic Bacon Sandwich, 20.5k Xp/hr.

4-8: Basic Omelette, 23.9k Xp/Hr.

8-12: Basic Vegetable Stew, 29.8k Xp/Hr.

12-25: Appetizing Bacon Sandwich, 29k Xp/Hr.

25-63: Appetizing Vegetable Stew, 50.5k Xp/Hr - Can comfortably start using 5% xp potions from this point on, providing it loses only 1 inv space to do so.

OR

25-38: Appetizing Vegetable Stew, 50.5k Xp/Hr

38-63: Fine Bacon Sandwich, 53.5k Xp/Hr.

Note: If the skill you are using Knowledge points on gives you less than 3k, then move to Fine Bacon Sandwiches, however if you gain more than 3k xp, continue doing Appetizing Vegetable Stew as the extra KP gain over the hour will make stew more efficient.

It should also be noted that Vegetable stews are somewhat more afk than Bacon sandwiches due to the amount that are made per invent.

Once 63 has been reached,

63+: Fine Vegetable Stew. 105k Xp/Hr.

This is the best information we have right now regarding Xp rates, this will be adjusted to accordingly as we have more information.

Best profit dishes

Appetizing Vegetable Stew is easily one of the best early dishes to make, requiring 25 Chef. Using only 1 ingredient, Appetizing Mixed Vegetables, it has a high profit margin of 341 Copper per dish if sold to the Head Chef, which means a full inventory of 24 will give you Silver 184 Copper in profit.

Fishing for your own supplies is highly profitable, albeit lower profit per hour(?). An example is Rocky Jellied Eels, requiring 22 Chef and 16 Fisherman (if catching yourself). Gelatin costs 220 Copper and you can sell the dish for 815 Copper, netting you a profit of 595 Copper if sold to the Head Chef. A full inventory of 24 will give you 14 Silver 280 Copper in profit.

Another example is Common Fried Ray Wings, requiring 50 Chef and 50 Fisherman (if catching yourself). This requires no other ingredients, so we are looking at higher profit margins. They can be sold to the Head Chef for 794 Copper each, meaning a full inventory will give you 19 Silver 56 Copper in pure profit. While factoring in the time to obtain the Common Ray, the profit per hour may be less compared to other dishes at a similar level.

Bounty board

The Chef's Bounty Board can be found in The Delectable Dab Kitchen. Every hour, 4 new bounties will be posted and always seem to be around your level. You won't get basic sausage and mash if you have the level to make appetizing sausage and mash. The bounties give you significantly more copper and exp than if you were to make the dishes without a bounty. Exactly how much you get paid seems to be based on the amount that is required of you to cook and how far away that person is from the bounty. Due to the fluctuating rewards, it's impossible to give an estimated copper/hr and exp/hr, but it is worth noting in the guide, as although it is every hour, the rewards make it worthwhile.
