IdleMMO Cooking Calculator
Every cooking resource ranked by XP/hr and gold/hr — pick the best one for fast levels or profit.
Cooking 1-100 leveling route →
UpdatedCooking is a crafting skill: take raw fish and seafood to a fire to cook them into meals and earn Cooking XP plus a little Dexterity XP. Every meal consumes one raw ingredient (plus a Coal Ore for fuel), so the real profit is what the cooked meal sells for minus what its inputs cost. The table below ranks each meal by XP per hour and by NET gold per hour after material cost, so you can pick the best meal for either fast levels or real profit.

Per-level XP requirements are community-sourced estimates — IdleMMO does not publish an official XP curve, so treat action and time totals as close approximations, not exact figures.

The Materials column shows what each craft costs. Net profit (sale − materials) is shown only where a live market price exists for the output — crafted gear isn't meaningfully sold to vendors, so we show “—” rather than a misleading vendor-based loss. Live market pricing is coming to fill these in.
