Like in all MMOs, cooking is an integral part of the Throne and Liberty experience, as getting the right bite before either venturing into a dungeon or facing a fearsome foe can be the key differential between getting your dream reward or having to start over after letting yourself and your party down.
However, even if you can make most of the game’s dishes by expending only low-level or easy-to-spot ingredients, all of the truly game-changing ones will demand specific hard-to-acquire finds. Well, that’s where we come in, here’s where to find all cooking ingredients in Throne and Liberty, as well as the best places to farm those not available at the shops.
