Brighter Shores: Passive Cooking Guide

Brighter Shores is currently in early access, and it features some neat ideas that try to improve upon the grinds that RuneScape has. In this guide, we will be showing you how to start training your cooking skill while completely AFK or even offline. Be warned, this will require a lot of initial grinding first.

Passive Cooking Guide

Before you can start participating in the passive cooking activity, you will need to reach level 20 in the profession first. There are many ways to do this, but most paths will require you to partake in other professions too.

One of the simplest ways to do this is to spam Bacon Sandwiches, which only require materials that can be purchased from Kevin’s Ingredients right outside the Delectable Dab Restaurant. Just keep making them and selling them at the head chef inside. You will make a small profit throughout the process.

Once you reach level 20 cooking, you will want to spend your knowledge point (earned by grinding any profession) to upgrade the Chef skill. This will unlock your very first “passive” cooking method.

After getting all of the prerequisites out of the way, you will need to find a crate of Common Dab. You can fish this yourself, but this is not recommended. Instead, you can buy them at the Frequently Fresh Fish Stall just south of Eel Street Bridge.

Each crate of Common Dab will cost you 9 silver and 600 copper. This is a steep price to pay as it will net such little profit, but it will get you roughly an hour worth of AFK time. You will also need empty crates, which can be bought for cheap at the fishing supplies store at Town Square.

With all of the requirements on hand, head back to the Delectable Dab Restaurant’s kitchen. From there, interact with any of the boiling pots and start cooking some Dab Stew. EXP will be incredibly low, and this is by design.

SIDE NOTE: If you do want to catch your own ingredients like a mad man, check out our guide on how to train fishing AFK for more information.

That is pretty much everything you need to know in order to get started with the AFK methods for cooking. There will be slightly better methods as you level it up, though this will unsurprisingly cost you even more money as the ingredients become more expensive.
