Thread: Master of the Cook Guild Rep Guide

Isengard is coming, and it will bring with it another crafting level (Westfold) and 1 more level for the guild. In order to become "Master of the Guild," one will need to accumulate 45,000 xp. The good news is that a kindred guild member can do this prior to the release, and in only 7 days worth of crafting sessions (start now and finish before RoI is released). Mastering on day one will allow you to start off at max guild rep--and by being one of the first, this will maximize your profit from crafting and allow you to make goods for yourself or others with no delay.

A number of different combinations can be used to get that magical 45,000 guild xp, but one of the best is (courtesy of CStM):

Feel free to share this list with your kins if you so chose. I would like to add that I will be updating the price guide in the sticky for Westfold crafting within a day or two of release. My apologies to those who have been asking for an update and/or leaving negative feedback because it is not completely up to date. I will try and make it up to you all with a quick update this time around.

Hope this is useful to some of you.

Thanks for the info!

OK so I just came back to the game after a short break. I noticed that my kindred with the cooks guild went down to artisan, i'm guessing to work with the coinciding new tier 7. Is you're shopping list for those starting at artisan all the way to the end? Maybe I missed it, but is there anything with that new black barley? I made a sh-- ton finishing off my farmer.

OMG thank you so much for this.

First off.. THANK YOU for the guide!

Saved me a good amount of time, and I am glad I checked to see if someone else had done it first. Thankfully, the OP had, and I am quite grateful
