[[File:Cooking.png|width=70x70]]'''Cooking''' is one of the eleven [[Dragonwilds:Skills]] in ''Runescape: Dragonwilds'' and allows players to prepare [[Dragonwilds:Food]] and [[Dragonwilds:Drink|Drinks]].  Consuming these items can provide [[Dragonwilds:Sustenance]], [[Dragonwilds:Hydration]], and [[Dragonwilds:Health]], as well as provide temporary [[Dragonwilds:Perks]]. Higher levels decrease the chances of burning higher-level ingredients.

==Crafting Stations==
* {{plink|Campfire}} (requires a fuel source)
* {{plink|Grill}}
* {{plink|Stone Range}}
* {{plink|Cooking Range}}

==Fuel==
Adding fuel sources to a campfire allows players to cook. Each fuel source provides a specific duration of cooking time.

== Ingredients ==
Ingredients have a [[Dragonwilds:Power level|Power Level]] that determines what level of Cooking is required to cook them on a [[Dragonwilds:Campfire]] or [[Dragonwilds:Grill]], and then what level is required to not burn them on the same. For more info, see the [[#Level up table|Level up table]] and the [[Dragonwilds:Culinary Confidence]] [[Dragonwilds:Culinary Confidence: Power Level 1|Skill Perks]].

Many ingredients also have a chance of being loot inside [[Dragonwilds:Chest|Chests]] across [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]] or in [[Dragonwilds:Vaults]].
