Cooking is an essential skill for an Ironman as it is required to make food used for healing. It is usually trained alongside fishing, and as levels in both skills increase, players gain access to better food, allowing them to take on more challenging opponents.
Completing quests is the fastest way to get started with cooking on Ironman.
