BDO Cooking Guide Part 1 - Gear, Mastery, Materials and Leveling to Guru

Welcome to my Cooking by the Book series where I make mastering cooking easy.
In this video, we'll look at how to set up for cooking, including gear, utensils, lightstones / artifacts and mastery in Black Desert Online.
I'll also show you how to get materials and how to power level cooking to master and guru.
If you have any questions or feedback on the video, feel free to drop a comment below.
Videos 3 to 5 of the series are still in development and I try to incorporate any feedback I get.
Planned are:
Video 3: Bdolytics guide
Video 4: Profit optimization with bdolytics
Video 5: Advanced cooking concepts
Sorry if this video feels a bit chaotic at times. This is my first big video and I was kinda learning everything on the fly.
I had tons of ideas for the video and really had to restrain myself from implementing all of them to not make this video a complete clusterheck :)

    Updates: - Crop exchange: certain special crops (onion, garlic, pepper, hot pepper) can be exchanged at these rates at any seed vendor: 1 special -> 2 HQ / 4 white crops - Substitution: Date palm wine, teff bred, and fig pie rare procs can now substitute 2 of the regular proc.

    I do a 3 Meal rotation: Mediah, Balenos, Valencia. Spare Sausages will be cooked into gratins. Beer is easy, Only Peppers are additional needed for fried vegies. Fish can easily gathered by workers in Epheria (with 6 workers). The higher procs on oatmeal i use for pet food. Since i do Hunting, Blood and Meat are both gathered at vendure bucks in odraxxia. The spare meat i got, i cook into red sauce which i can also use for gratin and valencia meals. i only buy pepper in the market. onions and hot peppers in fences. it is a pretty efficient rotation with minimum material waste.

    So many good qualities to this video you've made! Very informative, correct to my understanding, good pacing, good script, easy to understand. It was a pleasure to watch. I wish you future success. If the rest of your channel is just as good, your channel is worthy of much more attention than it currently has from the BDO community. Thank you for making this great cooking series.

    I dunno why I'm even telling you this, but you have a very relaxing voice lol. I've been watching your vids a lot lately as I've been doing lots of life skilling, but there's a select few (this one included) that I'll try to put on and pay attention to while I'm lying down to sleep, and i can't finish the video because I wind up passing out. I'm sure some of it is just me being tired, but for some reason this video always puts me to sleep lmao. I don't mean it in a negative way, I legitimately keep coming back so I can try to finish it and learn more about cooking, and your other cooking vids have been insanely helpful, but yeah these videos are just very relaxing lol. Sincerely, an American dude in his mid-30s.

    Heya, I'd recommend picking whatever materials you need based on the dishes you're cooking and filling up with high-value nodes (not necessarily cooking nodes). You can use this sheet to find profitable nodes: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ETYt0yGHHIOLstEtkRR5cW52CbEwGzQa1W7gWXlMd2Y/edit?usp=sharing The original creator has deleted the sheet, and this is a private copy, which means the sheet has last been updated in 2021 and won't be updated further. But in terms of node calculators, this is the best we got right now :P

    Whenever I look into cooking again I am reminded of how much of a hassle it really is :X. So many materials to procure, so many convoluted recipes, so many bottlenecks if you don't wanna gather/hunt yourself... And making the lower level dishes does not really generate any profit and they are quite useless for imperial delivery (i.e. prof. boxes) since they aren't better than simply buying and handing in Master boxes (I am Master 6 at the moment). I do have a lot of Milk, Eggs, Chicken Meat, I farm Special Onions, but most dishes that use those need a lot more other stuff as well. I wonder if I really have to just spam pickles to Guru like I did to get to Master in the first place lol.
