Chef
Chef is a crafting discipline that focuses on food and dyes, which are useful to all professions. Chef is unique among crafting disciplines in that it has no discernible tiers. Crafting requires the use of a crafting station.
Master chefs[edit]
Speak to any of these NPCs to become a chef and to buy crafting supplies. Swapping active disciplines costs 10 
per level already attained in the target discipline.

Production[edit]
Chefs can learn these types of recipes:
Recipes require ingredients which are purchased from vendors, gathered, looted, or crafted. Some food may only be obtained during special events or festivals. The full list may be found here.
For desserts and meals from rating 100 onwards, recipe sheets for feast versions of them can be made in the Mystic Forge. Feasts are items that, when placed in the world, grant a food buff to all who interact with them.
Gifts[edit]
At Master rank, chefs can craft gifts that are used in the Mystic Forge to craft special weapons.

Mail received upon reaching rating 425[edit]
Once the player reaches a chef rating of 425 they will receive the following letter:
|
Seimur Oxbone Is it true? People are talking about you. Chefs, mostly. They're saying you're some kind of rising culinary superstar. I know talent when I taste it, so why don't you cook me a Chef's Tasting Platter and I'll give you my professional opinion. With my help, you can attain greatness! I'll be waiting near your home. Chop Chop! —Seimur |
Ascended crafting[edit]
- Ascended food redirects here. For a list of ascended food items and their respective bonuses, see the filterable table on Food#Filter parameters (e.g. click on the "Ascended food" button).
Upon reaching chef discipline level 500 ascended feasts can be crafted. These feasts stay active for 5 minutes and can be used by multiple players. The feasts always contain a cultivated herb which has to be grown in a Garden plot. Each herb adds a different effect to the base effect of the respective food:
| Herb | Effect |
|---|---|
| Cultivated Cilantro Leaf | 66% Chance to Steal Life on Critical Hit |
| Cultivated Clove | -20% Incoming Condition Duration |
| Cultivated Mint Leaf | +10% Outgoing Healing |
| Cultivated Peppercorn | -10% Incoming Damage |
| Cultivated Sesame Seed | Gain Health Every Second |
While recipes can require additional ingredients, they share a common base and always offer the same effects as follows:
| Food type | Food Base | Secondary ingredient | First effect | Second effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beef Carpaccio | Cut of Quality Red Meat | +100 Concentration | +70 Power | |
| Cheesecake | Bowl of Ice Cream Base | Bowl of Baker's Dry Ingredients | +100 Concentration | +33% Chance to Gain Might on Critical Hit |

Trivia[edit]
- Aside from a handful of collection items, there are no fish-related recipes or ingredients for Chef; this is because Linsey Murdock hoped to introduce them alongside a fishing activity. There are currently no plans to add fishing to the game, however.[1]
