Introduction
Imperial Crafting Delivery is part of the cooking and alchemy life skills. You can pack alchemy or cooking boxes each day and deliver them to an Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC for silver. Even a newer player can make a minimum of 50 million silver per day by spending just a few minutes buying the items and turning them into boxes.
- The amount of boxes you can deliver each day is calculated by dividing your total Contribution Points by 2.
- Eg. If you have 300 contribution points, you can deliver up to 150 boxes per day.
- The amount of boxes you deliver is shared for both cooking and alchemy.
- Eg. If your total number of boxes is 150, you can deliver 100 cooking boxes and 50 alchemy boxes.
Tagged characters can craft the boxes and hand them in, but cannot move the boxes in/out of storage.
Important Tips before you start
- It is recommended to make cooking boxes because the alchemy boxes do not give as much silver profit.
- The box you make depends on your cooking skill level and the cost of the items on the market. Certain artisan/master/guru boxes are usually the highest money makers, especially if you take the time to make the food yourself. I recommend using this Google Sheet to help you look at the costs and profits.
- If you are buying the food from the central market to package straight into cooking boxes, then the Pickled Vegetables x18 is usually the best profit and is readily available. This box requires a Professional cooking level.
- Higher Alchemy/Cooking Mastery (depending on the box) will give you a higher silver reward
How to craft and deliver the boxes
To craft your Imperial Cooking Boxes or Imperial Alchemy Boxes, press (L) to go to the processing window, then select either “Imperial Cooking” or “Imperial Alchemy”. Right-click the food/alchemy product you would like to package. A full list of the items to create alchemy and cooking boxes can be found in the sections below.
- Imperial Cooking boxes and Imperial Alchemy Boxes weigh 10 LT each and you cannot sell the boxes if you are overweight.
After creating your Alchemy or Cooking Boxes, go to an Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC and sell the boxes to them.
- The amount of silver you are rewarded will increase depending on your alchemy/cooking mastery, which is why you should wear mastery clothing when handing in these boxes. Use a Seafood Cron Meal or Savory Steak to boost your mastery as well.
- I recommend using this Google Sheet to help you work out the profits of making or buying the recipes yourself.
Imperial Cooking Boxes
Choose ONE item to pack into a box.
- For example, if you are making the Apprentice Cooking Box you only need Teff Bread x390 OR High-Quality Carrot Juice x360.
Higher-grade versions of the same item can be used with a 1:3 ratio.
- For example, you can use Spongy Teff Bread, which is the proc of Teff Bread and you only need 1/3 of the amount listed. So you can use Spongy Teff Bread x130 instead of Teff Bread x390
