How to get the Cooking Station in Enshrouded

Cooking is a very important part of Enshrouded, enabling you to get several foods that heal you and increase your stats. It’s a simple process in the game, especially if you know how to procure ingredients and where to cook your dishes. 

However, the process can be very taxing. Luckily, the Cooking Station is a highly convenient tool that automates the entire system. To obtain it, you’ll need to put in some effort. Here’s how to get the Cooking Station in Enshrouded, and all you need to know about it.

How to complete the Cooking Station quest in Enshrouded

To get the Cooking Station, you’ll need to complete the quest “Cooking Station For The Farmer” first. This is one of the many quests that increase the Farmer’s crafting options and skills. This quest takes place after completing the “Crucible Needed For A Smelter” quest.

To start, head to the Farmer, Emily Fray. She is located in Ancient Vault-Farmer, which is west of Lone Thistle. Once you meet her, she will tell you she needs a Kettle to make a Crafting Station to cook better food. She’ll ask you to visit her friend Raul in Pikemead’s Reach and recover her kettle from him.

You’ll need to have at least Passage Level 3 to gain entrance to Pikemead’s Reach. You can increase your level by making sacrifices to the Flame. Pikemead’s Reach can be found in Revelwood, located in the northwest corner of the map.

Once you arrive at the location, you’ll notice that the town has been destroyed and pillaged. You won’t find Raul anywhere, so you’ll need to find the kettle somewhere in the town.

Head to the large building with a short flight of stairs leading up to it. Doing this will lead you to the Flame Sanctum. You’ll know you’re in the right place if you see a giant sphere in the middle of the room. You’ll find the kettle in the corner of the room, emanating an orange hue next to a skeleton. Grab it and return it to the Farmer. 

How to craft the Cooking Station in Enshrouded

After getting the kettle, you can then craft the Cooking Station. To do so, you’ll also need four Flintstones, 10 Stones, and two Metal Scraps.

You can acquire Flintstones by mining them through a Flintstone Vein on a cliff wall or on the floor using a pickaxe. You can get Stones by mining boulders with a pickaxe. Finally, you can get Metal Scraps by looting from scavenger enemies, searching through settlements and camps, and finding them in chests. Some can be found around Longkeep and the Braelyn Bridge area.

The Cooking Station makes cooking much easier by letting you automate the crafting process. Instead of cooking in a Fireplace by hand, the Cooking Station lets you craft several items instantly. It also unlocks better and much more effective recipes, such as Spiced Tea, Vegetable Puree, Vegetable Soup, and more. The effects of these dishes last longer and provide more stats, including increased Health, Endurance, and Dexterity.
