Collecting cooking ingredients is a key factor in every continent of Lost Ark. Finding ingredients allows you to make recipes, seven of which are required to complete your Adventurer’s Tome – and gain the bonuses they in turn offer. These can range from stat potions up to legendary rapport items and more.

Below you’ll find an alphabetical list of all the West Luterra cooking recipe locations, showing where to find the ingredients required for them. Several can be tricky, including having to take out the continent’s toughest mob, Rovlen, perhaps several times. And also, being in the right place at the right time to trade with a travelling vendor.

Bear Gallbladder Skewer – Bilbrin Forest Cooking Ingredient

From the portal into Bilbrin Forest from Medrick Monastery, follow the eastern edge of the area you arrive in right up into its northeast corner. You’ll find an ‘investigate’ spot at the back of a large rock to the right of a tree. This gets you the ‘Maneating Bear’s Gall Bladder’. Take this to Cook Heron in Lakebar Village, and she’ll make you the Bear Gallbladder Skewer for 1,400 silver.

Boar BBQ – Mount Zagoras Cooking Ingredient

Head north from the Yudia Continent portal into Mount Zagoras, hugging the easter edge of the map. You’ll come to a large stash of mounted weapons, alongside a barbecue trough. Investigate it to receive the Boar BBQ ingredient, which you simply need to right-click to activate.

Efferin’s Egg Rice – Medrick Monastery Cooking Ingredient

Go to the Mederick Monastery Triport. Just below it are two sets of pews. At the back of the western pews, you’ll see a lady in a long white dress. Stand next to her, and an ‘investigate’ icon will appear. Do so to receive the Special Egg Rice recipe. This can be taken to Cook Heron in Lakebar village, who can use it to create Efferin’s Egg Rice for 1,400 silver.

Lakebar Freshwater Fish Stew – Lakebar Cooking Ingredient

When in Lakebar Village, find General Merchant Evien in the centre of the village. Simply buy the Lakebar Freshwater Fish Stew from her for 8,000 silver, then right-click it in your inventory to add it to your Adventurer’s Tome.

Medrick Hair Loss Solution – Wandering Merchant Cooking Ingredient

You can buy the ingredient you need from the West Luterra Wandering Merchant, Malone. But as the name implies, he moves around. On the plus side, you will always find him in town areas near triports. But you need to time it right. He appears for 25 minutes once every few hours (on the half-hour) at the following locations:

  • Battleground Plains: At the Front Outpost, look for Malone near the other merchants.
  • Bilbrin Forest: Head to the Spring Refugee Outpost. He’ll be there near the wounded villagers.
  • Lakebar: From the Lakebar Village Triport, head north past the potion seller and along the northern path through the houses. He stands near the lake.
  • Medrick Monastery: At the Medrick Monastery Triport, near the potion seller.
  • Mount Zagoras: You want to go to the Zagoras Fortress Triport and take a look around the area. He’ll be easy to spot, near the Triport.

If the clock is set correctly in your region, the times will be (am and pm) 12.30, 2.30, 5.30, 6.30, 8.30, and 9.30. Your best bet is to wait at one of the locations and ask the half-hour. And if he doesn’t appear, ask in world chat to see if anyone knows where he is currently. Changing channels won’t help.

Miner’s Rum – Grayhammer Mine Dungeon Cooking Ingredient

Lost Ark West Luterra miners rum cooking location

Head through the first part of Grayhammer Mine and down the lift. Work through the first large group of brigands and continue northeast, where you have the second large battle. Here, you’ll see an alcove off to the right of the path. At the north end of the alcove are two broken coal carts, behind some destroyable barrels. Once you’ve taken out the barrels, you’ll see a sack on the floor by the right of the two carts. Investigate this to get the ‘Tightly Covered Rum’. Take this to Lakebar Village’s Cook Heron – and she’ll prepare your Miner’s Rum for 900 silver.

Wriggling Tentacle Sashimi – Bilbrin Forest Cooking Ingredient

Lost Ark West Luterra wriggling tentacle cooking location

From the Grayhammer Mine Triport in Bilbrin Forest, head east until you see a short dead-end path going north. Warning: This is where West Luterra’s boss mob, Rovlen, resides. It is a large plant creature with more than one million health, so come prepared. If you’ve moved well past this continent now, you may be able to solo him. Otherwise, wait for a group to attack and join in. But you’ll have to be properly involved in the battle to gain any reward.

Also, be aware it is on a 30-minute timer, so you may have to wait around – or switch instances with the box in the top-right corner of your screen. Once defeated, there’s a chance Rovlen may drop the tentacle you need. If he does, don’t use it until you have waited 30 minutes. Otherwise, you’ll have to do it all again.
