{{Guide}}
'''Chef''' is one of the first [[professions]] you unlock in [[Hopeport]] This guide will give you an idea as to the best money making methods within [[Chef]], the most efficient route to level up, and a few more 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 rates shown are if you have the ingredients in the storage beforehand.

0-4: [[Basic Bacon Sandwich]], 20k Xp/hr.

4-8: [[Basic Omelette]], 29k Xp/Hr.

8-18: [[Basic Vegetable Stew]], 30k Xp/Hr. 

18-25: [[Appetizing Sausage and Mash]], 37k Xp/Hr.

25-38: [[Appetizing Vegetable Stew]], 49k Xp/Hr.

38-50: [[Fine Bacon Sandwich]], 55k Xp/Hr.

50-63: [[Common Fried Ray Wings]], 56k Xp/Hr.

63-68: [[Fine Vegetable Stew]]. 105k Xp/Hr.

68+: [[Appetizing Omelette]], 121k 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 {{Currency|341}} per dish if sold to the [[Head Chef]], which means a full inventory of 24 will give you {{Currency|8184}} 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 {{Currency|220}} and you can sell the dish for {{Currency|815}}, netting you a profit of {{Currency|595}} if sold to the [[Head Chef]]. A full inventory of 24 will give you {{Currency|14280}} 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 {{Currency|794}} each, meaning a full inventory will give you {{Currency|19056}} 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.
