EverQuest Legends Baking Guide

Tradeskill1 to 200Oven (or a portable Spit)

Baking turns meat, fish, and dough into food that satisfies hunger and, higher up, buffs your stats. It is a cheap, steady grind on vendor and drop ingredients, and it shares components like Fresh Fish and Bat Wings with other skills, so it pairs naturally with Fishing.

How Baking works

Every combine happens in a Oven (or a portable Spit), found near the tradeskill merchants in most towns. Your Intelligence or Wisdom (whichever is higher) governs your chance to gain a skill point, and a failed combine keeps the container but loses the ingredients, so buy your materials in bulk and expect some waste on the way up.

Fresh Fish comes from Fishing, so many bakers level the two together. Sauces, spices, frosting, and dough are vendor-bought. The SoulFire quest's Edible Goo (Rat Ears + Fire Beetle Eye, trivial 21) is an early combine you can slot in if you need it.

Where to get the materials
  • Meat, fish, and bat wings. Drop from the matching mobs; Fresh Fish is caught with Fishing.
  • Sauces, spices, frosting, dough, milk. General goods and baking merchants in most cities.
  • Tools (Pie Tin, Cake Round, Mixing Bowl). Baking merchants.
