Welcome

This guide is strictly on how to make a profit while cooking. All profits will be per synth (e.g. a synth yields 4 items worth 100g each. Total profit= 400g) and all synths will be of NQ results. I will assume that you will be farming and buying all ingredients from NPCs. I will also assume that your fame is maxed, which will give you the best NPC purchase prices. Most everything will be sold to Standard Merchants to lower or even eliminate server economies. While I appreciate the thought, please do not edit this guide.
