Ironman Cooking training route
Cook your own Fishing catches, the two skills pace each other.
- 1–68 Cook everything you fish on a range/bonfire; get cooking gauntlets (Family Crest) early to cut burning
- 68–99 Cooking urns + your own sharks/rocktails; Sous chef’s outfit (Gnome Restaurant) gives +6% XPIronmen CANNOT use portable ranges, cook on a range or bonfire
Frequently asked
How many actions do I need to reach my Cooking goal?
Enter your current and target level or XP. Every row in the table divides the XP you still need by that action's XP (after your boosts) and rounds up. Load your RSN to fill in your current XP from the hiscores.
Why does the table show where materials come from?
Ironmen cannot buy from the Grand Exchange, so the useful question is not what a material costs but where you can get it yourself: a shop, a monster drop, or another skill. Each material shows the easiest source we know of, and turns amber when the skill route needs a level you do not have yet.
Which XP boosts are included?
Only always-on boosts with a single fixed number: the skilling outfit for the skill (full set) and a few tools and rings. Bonus XP, Double XP and the clan avatar are not modelled; Ironmen cannot use the clan avatar boost anyway. Use "Other boost %" for anything else.
