Cooking is one of the several Crafting Skills in Shards of Britannia. It provides players the ability to cook food which has the ability to regenerate Health or Stamina gradually over time.
The higher the recipe level, the higher the regeneration rate.
Fish can be harvested using the fishing skill or purchased from NPC fisherman. Most fish are catchable at 50 fishing skill or higher.
Wheat, fruit and vegetables can be bought from NPC chefs, innkeepers, cooks, and bakers. These very occasionally drop from mobs.
Raw animal meat can be bought from NPC butchers and fisherman. Currently, these appear to not be dropped by any mobs.
Harpy Meat can be harvested from the corpses of harpies, but not stone harpies.
