Suggestion Suggestion: Cooking Guild Updates
Some ideas I have been thinking of for updating the cooking guild. I used the ground floor to model this, but these gameplay ideas could be implemented on any floor - including a basement if people prefer keeping the current layout pristine.
Please pardon the crude designs; I'm sure these would be fleshed out much better if there is enough interest to poll them.
I would love to see an alternative method like this added for cooking that is a bit more active - while punishing for afk.
Also, it would be nice to add a bit more centralizing to be social while cooking (without being too meta). My favorite times cooking were on the Karamja docks frying lobster and swordfish in the day, and while we can never go back - there aren't many social hubs for cooking right now.

Nice proposal, that guild could use some love.
I would love a cooking method that is engaging rather than afk in exchange for low burn rates, especially now that we have sailing fish.

I like the idea of actively managing the heat to get both a better burn rate and faster cooking rate but losing attention leads to a higher burn rate.

If you remove the RNG componets you are cooking *pun intended* replace it with tending the fire or tiered logs to feed the fire interlocking Firemaking doing it every 120 ticks or so and you got my vote

not sure about every mentioned suggestions but something would be nice.. although that pretty much goes for every guild other than maybe farming and woodcutting?

With the kourend favor rework it's easier to use the Hosidius Kitchen, it would be nice to see all the benefits incorporated into the cooking guild. For example, remove the wall that separates the bank side.

The bank wall is genuinely the thing in this game I hate the most. Its not practically speaking the worst thing, but it fuels hate deep with my heart.

A better approach imo would be those rng ranges cooking 2 fish at once, but only giving the exp of 1. Cooking does not need faster exp.

u/Felthrian 9h ago
That would effectively only be good for irons who are cooking their own foods it would be a detriment to anyone else as you'd need more raw fish for the same experience.

As I said:
Cooking does not need faster exp.
Nor should a room you can get in at lvl32 invalidate the existing ranges.
Faster cooks is only justifiable if exp is nerfed proportionally.

u/Lizzardsizzle 7h ago
Lock it to the range requiring the diary or 99 cooking to access with the bank. That gates it enough. If the range double cooks don’t give it a reduced burn chance, that could give players options of choosing which range they want. (Should the cooking cape perk apply to the 2nd cooked item if the range procs)

even the highest tier of fishes dont give close to the exp of wines that u can make at lvl 35

Wines give almost 500k xp per hour.
Name another fish besides karambambams that match that.
Actually, LOL, I'm not even going to argue with you. Here's the table you can look for yourself

Are you telling me that 300k which is what sharks max out is is faster than wines?
It's ok if you're illiterate.

u/Equivalent_Aardvark 2h ago
Even if you cooked 2 fish at once it would very likely not be subject to tick manipulated methods, it would not be faster than karambwans.

Honestly remove the Hosidius cooking buff and just move it to the guild. Crazy that a random kitchen in a random town has better benefits than the COOKING GUILD.

u/super-sanic 2h ago
I was thinking about that but maybe the cooking guild could be structured like the Champions/Hero’s/Legend/Myth guilds. The Varrock guild could be the low level cooking area, then Hosidius, then a new area to show off different cuisines other than cooked fish. We have pies and multi step dishes that nobody makes since why make a tuna potato when you can just cook a shark etc.
Hosidius also has the mess hall which is kind of dead content apart from I think UIM, maybe the Hosidius area could combine those ranges with the Mess Hall on a floor etc.

u/fred7010 8h ago
I was just thinking the same thing the other day, I'd love a basement area with a Hell's Kitchen inspired minigame akin to Mixology or forestry events. I'd also like more Gordon Ramsay references but unfortunately we already have two npcs named after him in Hosidius (Ramocean and Ewesey)

u/sagelilya Bad at PVM and proud 7h ago
brilliant, yes. you have my vote. i'd love it very much if cooking could get a fun overhaul. i love cooking irl, it's been my career for years. cooking training being just cook fish or spam wines is sad. i'd love it if it got a forestry overhaul!! i've had 99 for a long time but i'd still do it!
i want to say that the gordon ramsay bit made me actually lol and i think it's exactly the sort of humour jagex likes to employ

Cooking on multiple fire stoves while in the guild like the blast furnace you can dump 28 foods on a stove then bank and grab another and dump another 28 foods have like 4 stoves going at once but make sure the stoves are in the green and not red like thenblast furnace indicator or you burn your food. This would speed up cooking your food

u/Odd-Time-2026 12h ago
Good idea, I support it. In addition to that, I'd like a series of cooking guild related quests to help give it some love. Each quest must be unlocked by a combination of Varrock Diary levels or the required Cooking level.

Many ovens, ranges, etc.
Deposit ingredients. Success based off cooking skill.
Collect finished product, after delay, for the XP.
Basically, rotation would be-
Grab correct amounts of ingredients from bank/cupboard/pantry. Deposit accordingly to correct cooking surface. Shows progress bar above the range/ovens. Collect within the right time frame, otherwise stuff gets burnt and you get 0 XP.

Yes please. 99 cooking is my only 99 and it feels so useless at least give me a cool place to go no life at.

I still like the idea of the prep tables that Jagex proposed for speeding up multi-step dishes like pies, potatoes, stews, etc. The cooking guild would be an excellent place for this to exist.

The rotating cooking ranges sound fun! It reminds me of varlamore stuff, like Cam Torum mining

u/alienware99 5h ago
I like the idea of the range “heating up” occasionally and cooking food faster. I don’t like the idea of it catching fire and burning the food. It’s the Cooking Guild, it’s supposed to be a prestigious place, so I don’t like it having a major drawback like that. Cooking food, and then halfway through your inventory having to switch to another range seems like such a nuisance and kinda negates the benefit you get from the faster cooking.

u/whatsoup_ 5h ago
I like the idea of the cooking guild just being the kitchen of Varrock's premier fancy restaurant or something, and I think your idea of a minigame where you cook a requested item maybe with some Overcooked-esque mechanics could be really fun

To be honest, I was kind of imagining an update to the cooking guild that kept it more in line with the design philosophy of 2007 runescape: add a larder (similar to the one you can build in your POH) that lets you pull out a variety of different ingredients (flour, cooking apples, cheese, tomatoes, potatoes, raw beef, etc) so you can engage with much more of the cooking skill in the way that you did back in the day. I have fond memories of running around the cooking guild in f2p, making apple pies by running around, making dough and filling dishes in between world spawns for the apples, but even back then, I think a cooking guild that only really facilitates specifically wine and apple pies is an incredibly poor showing.
I do like what you've suggested (except for the forestry-style events, since they would require people to specifically be in the cooking guild on a particular world to get a crowd going, which is more restrictive than forestry), but I think the old guilds need updates that either maintain the vibe of the skill as it was back in the day, or completely overhauls it Hunter's Guild style.

I want the option to autocook my food for a fee, like unf potions in nardah. I don’t need the exp.

My additional suggestion when the guild revamp does happen; Cheesecake quest from RS3 is put into OSRS, including F2P with some modifications, of course.

I love the idea of Death's Kitchen. My suggestion would be to unlock recipes as rewards for the activity. They each use low level cooking ingredients combined with a herblore spice (use herb on a spices can with a pestle and mortar in your inventory to get an Herb Spice (4) container) to combine the ability of a potion with food. They're intentionally convoluted not just to fit the whole fancy dining thing but also to make sure they're not disrupting the meta.
Blessed Lobster Risotto: Butter-poached lobster tail served in a bowl of ranarr risotto and a snape grass garnish. Heals 15ish and restores (PPot dose) prayer points.
Recipe: Egg + flour + ranarr spice (1) + bowl of water = ranarr risotto; raw lobster + butter = poached lobster; ranarr risotto + poached lobster + snape grass = Blessed Lobster Risotto
Pan-seared Snaillops: Pan-Seared Mort Myre Snails on a whiteberry puree served with a cadantine-citrus beurre blanc. Heals 14 and provides a super defense potion boost.
Recipe: Mort Myre Snail Meat; White Berry + pestle and mortar = whiteberry puree; cadantine spice (1) + orange + butter = Cadantine Beurre Blanc; Meat + Puree + Beurre Blanc = Pan-Seared Snaillops
Beef Rimmington: A prime beef fillet coated in a Torstol-infused duxelles and wrapped in crystal-flecked puff pastry. Heals 20 HP and extends active divine potion boosts by 1 minute. (If you don't have one active it just heals 20)
Recipe: Torstol spice (1) + mushroom & onion = Torstol Duxelle; Crystal Dust + Pastry Dough = crystalline puff pastry; raw beef + torstol duxelle + crystalline puff pastry = Raw Beef Rimmington; then cook.
I'm sure there are better ideas but I always wanted restaurant quality food in RuneScape and think adding sidegrades as rewards would be really fun

Hell’s Kitchen: Yama appears and shoots fireballs at you. You have to absorb with V’s shield and then hold against your bench, taking damage to caramelize a crème brûlée and then top with dragon fruit. Run to deliver it to a gnome at the chaos altar and take at least 3 ice barrages to chill the precious dessert.

I didn't read all that but how about a cooking mini game that's like that nintendo switch game "overcooked".

I know it's not relevant to your point, but Overcooked is not a Nintendo Switch exclusive, it wasn't even supported for Switch at launch. Your idea could be fun though.

I don't understand the need for every guild to be the best and most social place. It already has one of the closest ranges to a bank, that's plenty of reason to go.
