I think the title explains it. On this server (new to me), cooking requires a crafting tool - skillet / rolling pin / whatever. That's cool, I'm down. If your new character starts with cooking, you do not spawn with any of the cooking crafting tool options. Also, they are not sold by the Baker NPC currently in Occlo. This becomes an issue with 'young' characters that are restricted to Occlo, but would like to train cooking. Thank you for your time.
Did some research: Occlo only has one single 'Baker' NPC. I believe the crafting tools are sold by the 'Cook' or 'Chef' NPC. This may or may not be the case.
Ack! That should be addressed. Do make sure you try the Tinker shop for cooking gear. Not certain. If all fails ask in #renaissance chat and someone should be able to help. Welcome to UOR!
There is a cook in the Tavern by the docks. Regardless I will adjust the starting items for cooking to resolve this.
