Culinarians preside over the world of cuisine, preparing every known consumable in Eorzea. Armed with a cornucopia of ingredients from across the realm, and versed in methods from the far corners of Hydaelyn, these master chefs help adventurers maintain their strength on the battlefield.
Of all the city-states of Eorzea, Limsa Lominsa boasts the richest culinary tradition, a product of its proximity to fertile lands and plentiful seas, and its standing as the realm's foremost trading port.
I think people mainly go for a Home Cook build with cast iron, most people that go the full chef prestige class are using other pans like stainless steel, copper, or some other pan that requires feats to wield. I've seen some pretty good baker builds that use cast iron, the corn bread they make is particularly good.
Personally I'm using a 10" cast iron pan while working on my home cook levels with no plans to take any chef levels, though I have dabbled in baking
What class and level do I have to be to cast Iron Mains?
