{{Cleanup Needed}}
Welcome to the wonderful (if slightly gruesome) world of EQ Baking! To be an adventurer means more than going where no civilian would dare to tread. It also means having adventurous tastebuds!

Although it is perfectly feasible for some to buy food from merchants, others will find it easier to make meals on the go. Many baking recipes can be anything from snacks to hearty meals, and there are even special recipes that can give the average adventurer a temporary boost in abilities, or assist in quests. Whether it's an easy wolf sandwich while you're on your way to somewhere, or a wedding cake for a ceremony, baking has a lot to offer to those who aren't content with the standard fare sold by merchants.

Baking requires a number of products from other tradeskills for certain recipes, but the good news is that most can be purchased from other players and may be used more than once, so there's no need to go out and master, say, blacksmithing before you start.

''Disclaimer: This entry is not meant to imply that the killing and eating of fellow adventurers, especially gnomes, is beneficial. Have a gnome shaped cookie instead.''

__TOC__

==Cookware==

Baking has several items required for the various recipes.

To bake in:<br/>
'''Ovens''' may be found in any starting city and are usually located near the baking merchants.

'''Spits''' and '''mixing bowls''' may be found on merchants along with the basic ingredients. Spits work just like portable ovens and can be used as extra storage in a pinch. Mixing bowls, also able to be made by potters, are for cold preparation and are often needed for preliminary steps. In P1999, it's best to switch to the Experiment window before attempting to use these objects.

To bake with:<br/>
'''Muffin tins, cookie cutters, pie tins, bread tins, cake rounds, skewers, filleting knives, pots, smokers, non-stick frying pans, and dairy spoons''' require blacksmithing skills to create. All these items are good for multiple uses and will be returned upon both success and failure.

==Ingredients==

Bakers collect their ingredients from three basic sources: Merchants, looting, and foraging or ground spawns. For instance, various meats will be found on their respective animals (or people, ahem), as well as eggs and other body parts. Foraging can get a baker the ingredients for a salad or stew. Merchants sell processed ingredients, like vinegar, flour, sugar, garnish, jug of sauces, frosting, spices, and so on.
