  • Cooking – As the name implies, cooking is the process by which players can craft their own dishes and use them as consumables. For those unaware, these dishes also provide various buffs when used, and you can even sell them to make profits.
  • Gathering – Gathering is an amazing life skill that allows players to get the core ingredients used in cooking and crafting. All of these life skills are integrated between one another to provide value to your account.
  • Mining – Mining is a separate life skill that unlocks after you take up a special quest from the NPC Bicco. It is a process by which you can obtain resources to craft more gear and items. It involves crushing down iron ores, and finding resources that can be harvested via extraction. It is very similar to gathering.
  • Crafting – Crafting is a complicated process that has 2 aspects – gear crafting and item crafting. Players can get access to more lucrative gear pieces as well as important items by simply crafting them.

Cooking

Cooking is a Life Skill in Crystal of Atlan that allows you to convert gathered items into food by following recipes. This food can provide useful boosts during fighting, such as health restoration, stronger defenses, and greater damage. To unlock Cooking, complete a task for Tarina in Lumiville. She will direct you to the Exploration Zone, Lumiville Outskirts. You’ll need to gather Tokenberries for her. When you retrieve them, she will unlock Cooking and give you the recipe for Fried Fruit Skewers. One thing to keep in mind while cooking is that you need an actual stove.

This can be acquired from Lumiville (Taina NPC) or Rhine City. Each dish requires specific ingredients that can be found via gathering when you click on them. Each dish also consumes some specific amount of Stamina, so be prepared for that.

Gathering

Gathering allows you to acquire precious resources in Exploration Areas for cooking and crafting. To gather, interact with plants and demolish mine nodes with your weapons to get ore. Some materials appear under the Gathering tab in the Atlandex but are actually purchased from a merchant, making it even easier to gather what you need quickly. diverse Exploration Zones will include diverse materials for you to collect, but none of them will require a Gathering level at this time, making it simple to obtain what you need for your Cooking and Crafting tasks.

Mining

Mining can be considered as one of the same activities as Gathering as the base mechanism is same. Both activities require some stamina if you are farming resources in the exploration zone. Mining can be unlocked when you take up a separate quest from the NPC Bicco. In mining, players look for interesting minerals that can be extracted by little to no refining methods. Players can find the locations of these minerals by simply clicking on them.

Crafting

Crafting is a tedious but important growth life skill that can empower your character with powerful gear pieces to increase combat power. You can craft multiple gear items by talking to the NPC Glenn and going to his workshop. You can find 2 separate crafting tables – one for gear, and another for items. Crafting does not require any stamina as you only need the core ingredients to craft any gear or item. Players can view the recipes for the gear pieces and items by going to the craft section.
