Cuisines is one of the Careers available in the game. There are 10 different stages within it, each one dishing out new awards upon completion. Starting off as a waiter, Players can move up the ranks and eventually climb their way up to being a S7 Michelin Chef. Requirements to advance are split between three different types of points:
- Ingredients
- Cook Ability
- Menu Ability
Tasks concerning each activity take Career Vitality, 360 vit refilling daily.
Each promotion to a higher rank increases the point requirement and also unlocks new recipes.
Ingredients[]
Ingredients can be bought from various shops around the map. However to increase the ingredient gauge, Players have to collect ingredients themselves. Different ingredients are located in a variety of places. Although the game will direct you to the general vicinity where a targeted ingredients is located at, Players must discover for themselves where each ingredient can be picked from.
Gathering the Ingredients[]
Before cooking, we must get ingredients. To find them, there is 2 methods :
- Buying them from Shops - They have all the ingredients and seasonings that you will need across multiple vendors for gold. It is also necessary since most can only be bought and are not harvestable. Players will not get any Ingredients Pts from shopping.
- All prices of the ingredients are identical, no matter the map. If curious, see the sheet for price listings and a calculator for the total gold costs.
- Gathering the ingredients yourself - The ingredients will spawn randomly, some depending on factors such as the weather as well. Players can look at the ingredients' descriptions to know where and hints at when to find them.
- See this spreadsheet to see the locations of ingredients and known conditions that will give an Ingredient Pt bonus or penalty.
Collect / Fishing[]
Players will often stumble upon sparkling plants or encounter a place where a small prompt circle will appear. A random number of the ingredient the Player is trying obtain will be gotten after one full 30s circle. Canceling the action/animation before a full circle will not yield anything from it.
Collect : Players can collect vegetables and fruits, honey also being a vegetable. You will find them surrounded with green sparkles. Once one stands close enough, a prompt circle with a sprout image will appear. Interact to collect them.
Fishing : Players can also go fishing. Unlike with vegetation, where the Player knows what they're getting with the exception of the Strange Plant, fishing yields random ingredients from a certain roster. There are two different prompts for fishing. You will find that most spots are where fishing cages are located either on the water's edge or in deeper waters, the cages having a prompt circle with fish peeking out of water. The other is standing on the shore to fish and it has a prompt circle with a fishing pole.
Rare ingredients[]
It is recommended to team up with friend to get rare ingredient. They are under the guard of a variety of creatures. You could use stealth or put them to sleep or ask friend to distract them. [1][2]

Each tier, from Beginner to Super, gives stats better than the previous but does not influence the bento's special effects, if any.
Self-develop Cooking[]
