[Black Desert] Complete Beginners' Cooking Guide | Updated for 2022 | Chapters Included

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

You guys have no idea how good it felt to be making guides again! Being sick for 24 days was horrible! Can't wait to get back at it with all of you. Thanks for being the best fans/viewers/friends in the world and sticking it out with me!

[@faresabdelkefi397]

I am speechless, thank you Levi!! The game is not perfect but thanks to the community it's slowly getting there.

[@rizzorepulsive7704]

hooray! glad to hear you're doing better finally. been waiting for this video!

[@amandamachado1695]

I'm happy that you are better now, your guides amazing as always.

[@ThePhil4all]

I'd suggest a note about placing a city storage box inside the residence where you cook.

[@doctorcdub2413]

We absolutely NEED a guide for lightstones... especially for life skills. Edit: Apparently Garmoth shows everything but I'm just sayin Levi, I just started the game again a few weeks ago and I had no idea how artifacts/lightstones worked and I'm sure there's a lot of new players/returning players that are in the same position as I was. Maybe making a video on it would help those people out, thanks Levi.

[@Madzilla]

This is the best video i've seen so far about cooking. At first i thought cooking is the hardest thing to do, very complicated blah blah . Guess now ? I F*KIN ADORE IT ! ❤

[@vanessadawnponce8677]

So happy you're back and healthy! Thanks so much for putting out extremely helpful guides! Very detailed yet easy to understand! I'm always excited to login and try out your tips and tricks every time I watch one of your videos 💕

[@lazygamingjd]

This is probably the most detailed guide to cooking for newbies like me that you can find on YT. I was stuck at AFK fishing and did not know that I am missing so much. Thank you so much, Levi! Stay healthy and keep up the good work! I am a subscriber now. :)

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Glad to help :)

[@nbkchaosseph9066]

It’s a 30mins video. After 2mins watching, I like this video straight away after watching the intro, because this is the cooking guide I’m looking for as a newbie who never touch life skill at all. Great!

[@kamiinari99]

believe me dude u are the reason lot of players are playing this game

[@TheRamenSauce]

Bro hard carries bdo guides and tutorial content. Ur a life saver fr

[@TheFleshSeeker]

best tip for cooking for cp i can say you missed is "cook guru submeals you will use in the future and stock up" thats what i do to avoid money sink all i cook is something i can use and cp moved up by itself even after 400

[@gapefart1042]

Another amazingly informative video. Thanks for all your hard work! I also want to give you props on how well spoken you are. It's quite easy to understand you clearly and that makes the world of a difference. I don't know how many times i've tried watching a video, had to turn captions on and then clicked away frustrated cause even the closed caption system couldn't understand them. lol

[@stellasvartur4547]

I have my kitchen set up in Olvia and it works pretty nicely. I initially went there for alchemy and liked it enough to stick around after I switched to cooking. You need a few maids for it to work and someone in Calpheon to get you the fruit. Also I have a character permanently parked at the old moon guild carrack to barter my surplus vinegar and essence of L for old tree bark (if I'm lucky). This way you make no loss. You kind of break even with some of the saps but have a good profit with the bark. Frankly you also need a few maids for this to work. I have 8 for the market and 6 for storage and that covers most situations.

[@BrunoCasagrandaNeves]

Incredibly well done, your work is amazing. I'm just a few days into the game and your guides are beacons in this absolute mess.

[@YoloSadBoy]

you have no idea how much you helped me and still doing so with all the guides you make

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

I'm glad I've been able to help! :)

[@TronkT]

Hey man just want to say thank you. Brand new to this game and clicked through like 10 "beginner" guides and none of them are directed for actual beginner. They talk too fast, don't fully explain everything, and are just clickbait really directed to intermediate + from what I can tell. Like idk what nodes are why is half a video centered on it when I'm looking for cooking. Anyway, 7 min in and I can tell you produce quality and cater to your audience. Thank you again. I'll be delving through a lot of your vids I can tell.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Glad that the videos have been able to help you! Thanks for the kind words!

[@zyzzsbackpimples1414]

Hands down the best guide maker for bdo! But I honestly believe you can make a guide for anything and it would be the best.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thank you!

[@satsuki5679]

absolutely love your videos, and i would be lost in black desert without them. thanks

[@alanbenavides1480]

I'll be honest, a few years ago i didn really see the point of cooking as i didnt understand, but your videos made my start again recently and i am master 5, i feel its going to be hard to get to guru for the real high profit, but i can see it working even now getting high cooking mastery and selling at an increased rate, your videos are the best!

[@davesalazar8532]

So youre a master chef level 5. Bdo has so much content.

[@muminsahin1164]

Thank you buddy for all your guides. I learned a lot of things from these guides. Please keep creating this contents.

[@iamdarudedude]

Oh mann, gg gutes Video. Und der Blick von Hänno am Ende. Einfach gebrochen und verwirrt!! 😂😂😂

[@caffinatedirl8466]

Ahh! I love your characters chef outfit! Thank you for this video! Very helpful!

[@cycyhoyle]

your videos have helped me more so far than anyone in the game! Great job love your content!

[@jonidosy]

I think it's worth adding that Eilton is a great place to live nowadays. Everything is close and you have a fruit vendor.

[@JohnSmith-qm1gg]

A very precise guide that breaks down the information and makes it easy to follow. Very nice!

[@beymaster236]

This guy is awesome bro I been watching you since I played on Xbox and now I’m on pc and this is the best video for cooking I have ever seen

[@jonathanblaine4121]

Welcome back bro, glad you're feeling better

[@chadlife5573]

didnt know about the simple life hack with wheat dough. thanks man. guru 45 cooking and im just learning this now XD

[@starwaveprime7398]

Thank you! I’m a returning player but have followed you for years and many things have changed! Love your vids, keep them coming!!

[@onetwonickles9662]

Thank you for this video, Im struggling with understanding the game, but with vids like this it sure helps, Thank you , cheers

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

happy to help!

[@dinartefernandes6699]

Best guides ever, amazing!

[@ohmyonionpie]

brooo yess ur back your people needed you

[@karayi7239]

i wish my uni professors were as good as you at explaining stuff

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Time for me to become a professor

[@Harry-db4xf]

This is so helpful. Glad you are feeling better. Thanks

[@RouxBeard]

Great video, really hits the important points. People really need to see the benefits of cooking. Definitely need a farm (crops) video due to all the recent changes because of it going hand and hand. You should tell everyone about the non wheat dough/flour trick for cooking recipes. 😉

[@BjornTheFearLess]

Im sooooo glad that you are remaking them guides man! keep up the amazing work ma doooooood! :)

[@adefactoryspa6584]

I'm getting worried because i'm etero but still loving your "back to another blllack desert videeoo" :d

[@lootandgrind]

Amazing guide as always. Please do an updated Hunting guide next 🙏 Your guides inspired me to play BDO again and I've been enjoying it so much for the past few months. I always recommend your channel to beginners too. Keep up the good work! 🙌

[@zavyaunmoore8615]

Can you do a horse guide to awakening one of the special horses? I know there’s other guides but I like the way you break your guides down lol

[@Highonwater3X]

Dunno why I'm watching this since I haven't played in over a year (tried a couple days ago and was just like...yeah don't wanna play again), but I will always watch for you Papa "I'm not your dad" Levi. Glad you're feeling better!

[@willko747]

I was not able to perform simple cooking on the quest "[Balenos] Food Comes First". It would just say "It is not working at all" over and over. Finally I realized my inventory was full when I grabbed the "Hard Potatoes" (so I didn't actually acquire them) and I was attempting it with normal potatoes instead. Cleared space in my inventory and got the hard potatoes and it worked. The other failure was how to make the raw lump of sugar (10 raw sugars and mineral water isn't working for me for some reason). This is so painful learning cooking compared to other games. I'll definitely have to re-watch this video once I actually get the hang of cooking in the game first

[@daviddavidson2834]

So I started with this summer season and got kinda burned out after going hard, I got 8b in the bank now and I asked my guild what I could do with my money, they said funnel it into lifeskills and power level cooking, so thats what I'm gonna do, thank you again for this guide dude you're blessing

[@Flanktank2]

16:12 holy crap I tested this and had no idea. Well there goes my 500K wheat flour and 250K wheat dough in storage 😭Time to start processing potato instead.

[@gentoolive]

I played this game when it first came out for a few months, purchased mounts, outfits, all kinds of things then quit.. Ya know when they sent out the email to transfer your account or lose it forever? I ignored it thinking i wouldn't ever play this again anyway. Just picked it back up and started over, actually having fun this time because i am following your guides and actually figuring out how the game works. Thank you for these, they are super helpful.

[@davidlucaci3422]

Damn, notification squad really worked for once:)

[@funnyguywithafro]

Me Guru 20 cooking watching this video: "I bet there's at least one thing I don't know here" Levi: "don't use wheat dough, you can use less of the other ones in recipes" Me: "I knew it!"

[@TriggerzPlays]

lol

[@eqquilibrium]

Another great guide, learnt all my cooking from your old video, and this one is even better

[@thecatwithoutatail5420]

I stopped playing the game since ever, but still watch your videos

[@nandatanda1972]

Currently sick and thinking about getting into cooking! Very timely video, thanks ❤️

[@Laghagua]

Youre genius, love your guides! happy you recovered. : D

[@MrAxllegrease]

YO! You kick ass! This is super helpful. I freaking love your video. Please keep up the good work.

[@DioDiablo702]

I like making milk tea. I don't like having to milk cows, but the exp gain once you hit master makes a huge difference. Relatively easy to make, always sells on the market, and good for imperial boxes. Just gotta be the type of person who's patient with gathering milk.

[@rtruth550]

Levi your videos helped greatly. Can you make guide on bartering again?

[@DizzyGorgon]

Dude....I just got my manor set up to start cooking again and I was just about to watch your guide from last year, great timing! Is this vid console safe or should I use last year's vid?

[@abbasmerhi1]

i am at minut 17 and got so tired hahah not from you but alot of stuff to do , i need to connect nodes too and folow these guide u mentioned omg i hope this worth the effort at the end

[@michaeldiy1510]

How to turn on durability bar over the utensil. I don't see my utensils durability. Its extremely not comfortable

[@anthonymartin8413]

I love all your videos, they are very helpful. I've been playing BDO for years and still learn something new from you all the time. One quick question, when you say to take a copy of the utensil to the vendor for the repair tool, that just means you have to have another one to use correct? Keep'em coming!

[@twisted6gamer]

any idea why the Golden Toad Inn owner in heidel wouldn't show the exchange tab? all i see is go back, shop, conversation, and exit. thanks in advance.

[@hikuuuxd5909]

i love your content and watched aloot of your videos when i played BDO, im baffled how you havent gotten yourself a better camera yet, with 100k+ subs i would think that your personal economy could fitt in a good camera to up your videoquality :) ! keep on going

Amazing video. Your scripting is the best of any game content on KZbin.

Glad you think so! Thank you so much for the support

[@180budgeman]

I recently returned to BDO after several years off. So i spent last night feverishly cooking vinegar and pickled veggies, got my cooking skill to Artisan 3 (thanks for the super useful guide, btw) aaaaand... imperial delivery is unavailable. won't let me craft boxes either. I can't find anything about this on the ol' Googler, any of you distinguished gentlefolk have any idea what the deal is?

[@orecoilz6445]

have they gone a head and changed getting the repair kits? i tried today, it only gives me the exchange option when i have a cooking utensil that is full durability?

[@nikolatino4656]

Great vídeo bud! I have been waiting for it since the last vídeo when you mentioned you going to do this! I am on console so have a few questions for you. We don't have Odylitta yet does that change anything on you guide? Also does BDO Lytics cover console or just PC? lastly since I play console is it worth me joining your discord? Am sure other new console players would want to know thus stuff too and it would help grow the channel!

[@micke7261]

Thank you very much for refreshing this guide. This is best video guide on cooking of all time ! As a new player I have been focusing mainly on life skills, which is why your channel has been my favorite from the very beginning :) A series of videos about trade routes is especially interesting. After the recent changes that have raised the prices of these boxes, I think that you can really benefit more and more from trading :)

[@anthonyt4154]

yay more guides

[@chrisjacobs6773]

why does it say in my cooking utensil that i need cabbage to make pickled vegetables but it says you need paprika? :(

[@Deadshot-rg8pp]

Bro your DK is amazing, can you please make a guide on how you created her

Does the game not give you the recipes' in game? or is the only way to find out through a third party website?

I am part of a three-man guild and was wondering would you do a guide on the guild missions?

[@MrRodriguez2811]

So, basically, you have to exchange a max durability utensil to repair and used one. be the same just placing that max durability utensil?

It is, but saves you having to switch them out in the room design system.

Great guide man and happy that you survived :D Noob question: Can I just ask you if resources from nodes exhaust because you had your workers there for too long, or does it mean that everyone is exploring those nodes?

[@derektweed]

Nodes don't run out of resources

[@spaceduck3251]

@@derektweed Hi man, thanks for reply. But I'm sure I'm getting less and less resources everytime from each node, even though my workers are getting better.

[@derektweed]

@@spaceduck3251 which resource particularly have you noticed this? I have had the date palm node for a very long time and I still get the same or similar every time. Date palm is a popular node and I’ve not seen any reduction over time.

Would you say cooking and such is a good way to get into making money? I know seasons help with gear but I want to feel like I’m making progress between seasons. Especially since console season hasn’t started yet

I like cooking and gathering. I don't know what the economy is on console, but bdolytics should answer that for you by looking at prices there
