Something Wrong with Cooking Skill Gain?

[Fat Lip]

I hear that if you cook a stack of say, 2000 fish steaks, you'll get several gains in a similar fashion to how Imbuing gets multiple gains for unraveling many items at the same time.

Now I tested this for cooking. At 75.0 skill, I cooked several stacks of 2000 fish steaks, one by one, and I averaged about .8 to 1.5 in skill points earned (per 2000 steaks one by one). Then I tried cooking several stacks of 2000 fish steaks in incriments of 2000 at one time, and I averaged only .3 maximum skill points earned.

I think this is not working right. Anyone else notice this. Devs?

The skill gain slows down around there and goes to very small gains and almost nothing by 79 ish. I think it's rng is what you are encountering. You may gain nothing on one stack but several points on another.

I switched to enchanted apples at that point. Then Miso soup from 80 to 90. Save your fishsteaks for then unless you have lots of them.
