How cooking marks work

Concept Detail
Enjoyment Eaters may enjoy food (They really enjoyed…). Enjoyment rolls whether you get the mark.
Same room You see enjoyment lines when feeding in-room.
Out of room Some foods announce a stronger buff when enjoyed (e.g. soft toffee crunch).
Active buff blocks mark WARNING: If the eater still has that food's buff, eating again will not grant a mark. Wait for expiry.
Disliked food Races can dislike traits; they may still enjoy meals (food trucks always enjoy).
RNG After quest completion, proc rate is chance per unique eater — expect many meals.

Mark name pattern: mark of <recipe-with-hyphens> (e.g. mark of steak-and-potatoes).

Confirmed quest IDs: #3391 tutorial · #3392 steak · #3393 scorpion soup · #3519 mirepoix delivery.


Wizarding Faire

The Alyrian Wizarding Faire is a separate food-mark venue — not recipe cook marks from index cards. The faire relocates across Alyria; check the Wizarding Faire board at The Faire Fountain #174074 or help 3559 if the trail entrance is missing.

Getting there

Both common approaches reach the same wilderness entrance — A Trail Through The Forest #173885 (north from Light Part of Connod Jungle #3572753Entrance to the Wizarding Faire #173886). Use mapper goto on the room # values below.

Gul'grits — Slopfin Galley (food boss quests)

NPC: Gul'grits the Gutmaster — archon food experience quests: cook or feed meals for a rotating boss target. Use quest request at Gul'grits when a quest is available; try again later if he has none.

Patch notes (2025–2026):

  • (fresh) not required (Nov 2025) — any valid meal works for Gul'grits turn-ins.
  • Difficult Gul'grits quests vs food mark progress use separate counters (Mar 2026) — see quests guide.

Also at the faire:

  • Avros Social Services Tent #173887Jenesee, the Avros Social Services Field Representative; lower-level boss contracts and faire quests.
  • Othayn, Lord of the Wizarding Faire — training quests for levels 20–239 (quest request at the faire).
