Pax Dei: Cooking Guide

Yes, chef!

Pax Dei probably has one of the most unique and in-depth cooking systems out of all the MMORPGs or survival-crafting games. You have hundreds of unique consumable recipes, including Winemaking, Baking, Roasting, and Cooking. This guide will focus solely on using the Cooking Workbench in this Pax Dei cooking guide.

How to Start Cooking in Pax Dei

To build the Basic Cooking Workbench, you need the following:

  • Basic Cooking Tools
  • 60x Granite
  • 50x Charcoal
  • 25x Clay

If you don’t have the recipe, craft the Basic Cooking Tools to unlock it. The Basic Cooking Workbench recipe can be found using the menu on the Construction Hammer.

The Basic Cooking Tools need 1x Iron Sheet, 2x Short Wood Stock, and 2x Flint, which you can craft from the Basic Blacksmithing Workbench. You can find Granite Deposits in the mountainous areas and Flint by the rivers. Charcoal is made from the Charcoal Kiln using Sapwood, while Clay is found on the ground in random places all over the map.

Once you have the Basic Cooking Workbench ready, you can get some amazing consumables.

I suggest making a large area for cooking so you have space for your Oven, Split Roast, Cooking Hearth, and Charcuterie Workbench. There are even more builds like the Millstone, Grain Mill, Fermenter, and Distillery, but most of these are more for your Winemaking and Brewing.

Some of these consumables provide the same effects or buffs, so some consumables make the other recipes irrelevant in a way. You’ll definitely need to set up your Water Well since most of these recipes require Water.
