‘Arthdal Chronicles: Three Foundations (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles)’ removed the weekly purchase limit on seasonings sold by merchants in its massive August update. It is now significantly easier to whip up high-end dishes, though plenty of players seem to have missed the memo and are still settling for basic food. To clear things up, KookminTree has compiled the essential tips and top-tier recipes you should be crafting right now.

Which high-end dishes should you be crafting?

Originally, every character was slapped with a 150-item weekly purchase cap on seasonings. Since the August update, that restriction has been tossed out the window. As long as you have the silver and Artisan Coins to spare, you can stock up on as much seasoning as your heart desires. This means those fancy, high-end dishes that felt like a burden to craft are now readily available for your 24-hour buff uptime.

So, what exactly should you be cooking? For meat dishes, the White Mountain Grilled Skewer is a solid choice. If you prefer fish, look into the Ago Freshwater Roe Soup or the Momo-style Tender Sashimi. For drinks, the Shinyu Fire Tea and Hajesan Sikhye are the go-to options. Keep in mind the climate: sip on Hajesan Sikhye in tropical regions and Shinyu Fire Tea in cold climates. By slotting just one 'Thirst' or 'Chill' resistance into your headgear, you can hit that sweet spot for climate resistance, netting yourself a sweet +4 Attack and +120 Max HP buff.

Ingredients like bean powder, cold water, mint, and shiitake mushrooms can be bought from merchants in major faction cities using silver or Artisan Coins. However, for items like mugwort, pine nuts, mustard, and Japanese pepper, you will need to hunt down specific merchants in areas like Sky Ladder, Post Station, or Hadam Rest Area. Pro tip: simply click on the seasoning and navigate through [Source > Merchant] to pinpoint their exact locations.

To get the meat required for fish dishes, you will need to process fish. High-grade Savory Meat comes from processing eels and moray eels, while High-grade Chewy Meat comes from species like crucian carp, trout, carp, catfish, and turbot. Many of these fish can be picked up for under 0.01 gems, so shop smart. I recommend keeping an eye out for Sand Mist Moray, Yellow Moray, Cloud Eel, Rock Eel, Oil-film Eel, Lightning Trout, Scale Flower Carp, Black-bearded Catfish, and White-spotted Turbot.

What is the best way to farm Artisan Coins for your seasoning stash?

Traditionally, players would buy cheap leaves or fabric materials for 0.01 gems and sell them to artisans to rake in coins. Lately, however, it is far more efficient to hit the exchange, buy up rare-grade seasonings, and offload them to the artisan. Common low-priced rare seasonings include water dropwort, pine mushrooms, cinnamon, lingonberries, and salt. Trading these in will net you 120 Artisan Coins per item.

If you can snag those rare seasonings for around 0.04 gems each, you are essentially buying one Artisan Coin for 0.00033 gems. This means you are paying about 0.066 gems for a high-end seasoning that would otherwise cost 200 Artisan Coins. It is a fantastic deal—provided the market price for Japanese pepper, mint, malt water, or shiitake mushrooms is higher than 0.066 gems. Just keep in mind that the exchange is a fickle beast; check the current rates before you commit, as market fluctuations can quickly turn a bargain into a loss.
