Confectioner

Confectioners are a specialized craft school associated with the Gatherer school, though Outfitters and Scholars both gain skills early on that allow for access to the school. Confectioners craft tasty morsels and fine brews that may be consumed and enjoyed. The goods of a Confectioner are said to even soothe ailments both physical and spiritual.

Levelling Recommendations

Confectioners generally require a lot of different ingredients to make their recipes, which can make levelling appear more challenging. A lot of work is required to collect, and prepare, the ingredients ahead of time. Once collected however levelling is relatively quick. It is recommended to level Gatherer to 100 first, as the ability to gather and prepare base ingredients is key to levelling Confectioner. However this isn't a requirement due to Confectioner receiving reasonable Ability advances per level.

The second challenge is access to a Confectioner's table with close ingredient storage access. Players often have this on their own, or a Guild members, plot to reduce the time preparing and creating meals.

The third challenge is the recipes themslves. Many recipes require ingredients that can only be purchased from the Confectioner Trainers such as Gelatin, Olive Oil and Cocoa Bean - for bulk levelling recipes with these ingredients should be avoided. Rare recipes require quests to be undertaken in order to receive the formula for the recipe.

The following list has been curated to include non-rare (non-questable) recipes with no purchasing required for the ingredients. They also maximise recipes that don't require extensive processing of ingredients (Milk -> Cream -> Heavy Cream). Although this can give experience while preparing, it isn't close to the experience gained while creating meals.
