How this calculator works
- XP per level uses the current Dragonwilds curve (since the cap rose to 99 in March 2026): level 99 needs 1,000,000 XP in total.
- Cooking a single ingredient gives 10 XP, a drink 15 XP and a meal 20 XP. "Full chain" methods count every ingredient you cook on the way plus the finished meal.
- Boosts multiply together. For example, the ring, Knowledgable Nourishment and a +30% potion give ×1.5015, which matches the wiki's own levelling figures.
- We assume one raw ingredient cooks into one cooked ingredient, and nothing burns. Cook a few extra to cover the odd burnt one.
- Garou merchants sell redberries for 3 chits each once you've reached Umbral Sands and progressed Ictlharin's Little Helper.
