There’s a lot to do in the world of Palia. In this cozy multiplayer game, you’ll be able to meet villagers, solve quests, and discover mysteries. As well as improve your skills in Hunting, Mining, Fishing, Cooking Insect Catching and Furniture Making. With everything going on in the game it can be easy to miss out on Cooking which is one of the key skills in the game to get you ahead, especially in the early stages.
Learning and crafting cooking recipes can help replenish a steady stream of Focus, which once full, will give you a boost to all XP gain whilst performing all other skill activities. Cooking in Palia is slightly more involved than the other skills. It requires several different stations for you to build at place at home, gather the ingredients as well as find the actual recipes to cook them.
In this Palia guide, we’ll go through everything you need to know about cooking, how and where to get recipes, how much focus they provide and even how much you can sell food for.
