Can a non-forager be a good baker?

    Pft...

    Forget fish rolls. Or at least initially if you're willing to hunt in old world zones while you skill up (or even some Velious zones). Get someone to make you a filleting knife, carry around a spit, and every time you get wolf, lion, bear, or mammoth meat, dump it in the spit along with your filleting knife. If you're hunting wolves or mammoths, you'll be destroying fillets left and right, and you won't have to buy food for a long, long, LOOOOOOONG time (each success on those two meats gives ten back). And best of all is that the trivial is a little higher than fish rolls, meaning that you can keep working on fillets even after the fishrolls have turned trivial for you.

    Then once they triv out, you can take a break and work on something else before you go right back again when you start making Halas Meat Pies (it'll also be good conditioning, so you don't foolishly get 20 wolf meat before you make your first pie...).

      Of course you can bake!

      Every one of my characters has a spit in his or her inventory, no joke My main, admittedly, is a druid, and has foraged maxed out..but there are sooooooo many recipes to try, you definitely don't need to be a forager. All my characters get to at least 40-50 in baking, just from making steaks from the meats I loot while hunting in EC/WC or similar areas. You're gonna loot it anyway, why not use it? And the bear/lion/snake/wolf/gator steaks all are easy and provide some minor stat boost. And the ingredients, jugs of sauce and spices, are dirt cheap and easy to find.

        If you're in a guild, ask the Rangers and Druids for foraged and Jaggedpine dropped items if they aren't tradeskillers who need the items themselves.

        I've been doing Halas 10lb Meat Pies to sell for profit, but I've also been doing items for skill-ups: Ohabah Truffles using stacks of Mushrooms that I got from a Ranger in my guild, and Griffon Melts using Griffon Meat that I got from a Druid in my guild who has been hunting in Jaggedpine.

        (I sell the Ohabah Truffles, but keep the Griffon Melts to eat myself)

        Create a foraging alt and go park him in Shadow Haven or hunt in Shadeweaver's. Both places are supposed to be great for foraging Mushrooms.
