Starting out

Talking to the Cook

Before being offered the quest

Cook: What am I to do?
- What's wrong?
  - Cook: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I'm in a terrible, terrible mess! It's the Duke's birthday today, and I should be making him a lovely, big birthday cake using special ingredients...^[sic] ...but I've forgotten to get the ingredients. I'll never get them in time now. He'll sack me! Whatever will I do? I have four children and a goat to look after. Would you help me? Please?
    - (Quest noticeboard opens)
      - Accept Quest
        Cook: Oh, thank you, thank you. I must tell you that this is no ordinary cake, though - only the best ingredients will do! I need a super large egg, top-quality milk and some extra fine flour.
        
        Player: Where can I find those, then?
        
        Cook: That's the problem: I don't exactly know. I usually send my assistant to get them for me but he quit. I've marked some places on your world map in red. You might want to consider investigating them.
      - Not Right Now
        Cook: Fine. I always knew you adventurer types were callous beasts. Go on your merry way!
- Can you make me a cake?
  - Cook: *sniff* Don't talk to me about cakes. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I'm in a terrible, terrible mess! It's the Duke's birthday today, and I should be making him a lovely, big birthday cake using special ingredients...^[sic] ...but I've forgotten to get the ingredients. I'll never get them in time now. He'll sack me! Whatever will I do? I have four children and a goat to look after. Would you help me? Please?

- You don't look very happy.
  - Cook: No, I'm not. The world is caving in around me. I'm overcome with dark feelings of impending doom.
    - What's wrong?
      - (Same as above)
    - I'd take the rest of the day off, if I were you.
      - Cook: No, that's the worst thing I could do. I'd get in terrible trouble.
      - Player: Well, maybe you need to take a holiday.
      - Cook: That would be nice, but the Duke doesn't allow holidays for core staff.
      - Player: Hmm, why not run away to the sea and start a new life as a pirate?
      - Cook: My wife gets seasick and I have an irrational fear of eyepatches. I don't see it working.
      - Player: I'm afraid I've run out of ideas.
      - Cook: I know, I'm doomed. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I'm in a terrible, terrible mess! It's the Duke's birthday today, and I should be making him a lovely, big birthday cake using special ingredients...^[sic] ...but I've forgotten to get the ingredients.

- Nice hat!
  - Cook: Er, thank you. It's a pretty ordinary cook's hat, really.
  - Player: Still, it suits you. The trousers are pretty special too.
  - Cook: It's all standard-issue cook's uniform.
  - Player: The whole hat, apron and stripy trousers ensemble...it works. It makes you look like a real cook.
  - Cook: I AM a real cook! I haven't got time to be chatting about culinary fashion, I'm in desperate need of help! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I'm in a terrible, terrible mess! It's the Duke's birthday today, and I should be making him a lovely, big birthday cake using special ingredients...^[sic] ...but I've forgotten to get the ingredients.

- What happened to the castle?
  - Cook: The castle really did suffer in the battle of Lumbridge. I'm glad it's over! People came from all over the world to help rebuild, and now things are getting back to normal. I'm glad - I have important things to cook and I'm not letting anything get in the way! In fact, even now I'm preparing a cake for the Duke's birthday! Although... umm...^[sic]
    - What's the problem?
      - Cook: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I'm in a terrible, terrible mess!

Milking for Top-Quality Milk

Attempting to milk a regular Dairy cow

Player: Hmm, I'm not sure if this is top-quality milk. Maybe that lady over there can help me.
- Milk it anyway for ordinary milk?

    - You milk the cow.
  - No
    - (Dialogue ends)

Talking to Gillie Groats

Gillie Groats: Hello, I'm Gillie. What can I do for you?
- I'm after some top-quality milk.
  - Player: I'm after some top-quality milk.
  - Gillie Groats: Really? Is it for something special?
  - Player: Most certainly! It's for the cook to make a cake for Duke Horacio!
  - Gillie Groats: Wow, it's quite an honour that you'd pick my cows. I'd suggest you get some milk from my prized cow.
  - Player: Which one's that?
  - Gillie Groats: She's on the east side of the field, over by the cliff. Be gentle!
- Who are you?
  - Player: Who are you?
  - Gillie Groats: My name's Gillie Groats. My father is a farmer and I milk the cows for him.
  - Player: Do you have any buckets of milk spare?
  - Gillie Groats: I'm afraid not. We need all of our milk to sell to market but you can milk to cow yourself if you need milk.
  - Player: Thanks.
- Can you tell me how to milk a cow?
  - Player: Can you tell me how to milk a cow?
  - Gillie Groats: It's very easy. First, you need an empty bucket to hold the milk.
    - If you are asking Gillie Groats how to milk a cow for the first time:
      - Gillie Groats: You can buy empty buckets from the general store in Lumbridge, south-west of here, or from most general stores in RuneScape. You can also buy them from the Grand Exchange in Varrock.
        (Continues below)
    - If you do not have a Bucket:
      - Gillie Groats: You look like you could do with an empty bucket. Here, take this spare one.
      - Gillie Groats gives you an empty bucket.
        (Continues below)
    - If you already have a Bucket:
      - (Continues below)
  - Gillie Groats: Then find a dairy cow to milk - you can't milk just any cow.
  - Player: How do I find a dairy cow?
  - Gillie Groats: They are easy to spot - they have a cowbell around their neck and are tethered to stop them wandering around all over the place. There are a couple in this field. Then you just need to use your bucket on the cow and you'll get some tasty, nutritious milk.
  - Player: What about top-quality milk?
  - Gillie Groats: Ah, for that you'll have to see my prized cow, on the east side of the field, over by the cliff. Then you just need to use your bucket on the cow and you'll get some tasty, nutritious milk.
- I'm fine, thanks.
  - (Dialogue ends)

Grinding to get Extra Fine Flour

Attempting to add Wheat to the Hopper before asking how to make Extra fine flour

Player: Hmm. I should probably ask that lady downstairs how I can make extra fine flour.

Talking to Millie Miller

Millie Miller: Hello adventurer. Welcome to Mill Lane Mill. Can I help you?
- I'm looking for extra fine flour.
  - Player: I'm looking for extra fine flour.
  - Millie Miller: What's wrong with ordinary flour?
  - Player: Well, I'm no expert chef, but apparently it makes better cakes. This cake, you see, is for Duke Horacio.
  - Millie Miller: Really? How marvellous! Well, I can sure help you out there. Go ahead and use the mill and I'll realign the millstones to produce extra fine flour. Anything else?
    - How do I mill flour?
      - (Same as below)
    - I'm fine, thanks.
      - (Dialogue ends)
- What is this place?
  - Player: What is this place?
  - Millie Miller: This is Mill Lane Mill, source of the finest flour in RuneScape, and home to the Miller Family for many generations. We take the wheat from the field nearby and mill it into flour.
    - Who are you?
      - Player: Who are you?
      - Millie Miller: I'm Miss Millicent Miller, the Miler of Mill Lane Mill. Our family has been milling flour for generations.
      - Player: Don't you ever get fed up with flour?
      - Millie Miller: It's a good business to be in. People will always need flour.
        What is this place?
        (Same as above)
        
        How do I mill flour?
        (Same as below)
        
        I'm fine, thanks.
        (Dialogue ends)
    - How do I mill flour?
      - (Same as below)
    - I'm fine, thanks.
      - (Dialogue ends)
- How do I mill flour?
  - Player: How do I mill flour?
  - Millie Miller: Making flour is pretty easy. First of all, you need to get some wheat. You can pick some from wheat fields. There is one just outside the mill, but there are many others scattered across RuneScape. Feel free to pick wheat from our field! There always seems to be plenty of wheat there.
  - Player: Then I bring my wheat here?
  - Millie Miller: Yes, or to one of the other mills in RuneScape. They all work the same way. Just take your wheat up two levels to the top floor of the mill and place some into the hopper. Then you need to start the grinding process by pulling the lever near the hopper. You can add more wheat, but each time you add wheat you'll have to pull the hopper lever again.
  - Player: So, where does the flour go then?
  - Millie Miller: The flour appears in this room here. You'll need an empty pot to put the flour into. One pot will hold the flour made by one load of wheat.
    - If you are asking Millie Miller how to mill flour for the first time:
      - Millie Miller: You can buy empty pots from the general store in Lumbridge, south-east of here. You can also buy them from the Grand Exchange in Varrock or make them yourself.
        (Continues below)
    - If you do not have an Empty pot:
      - Millie Miller: You look like you could do with an empty pot. Here, take this spare one.
      - Millie Miller gives you an empty pot.
        (Continues below)
    - If you already have an Empty pot:
      - (Continues below)
  - Millie Miller: That's all there is to it and you'll have a pot of flour.
  - Player: Great! Thanks for your help.
    - Who are you?
      - (Same as above)
    - What is this place?
      - (Same as above)
    - What can I do with the flour I mill?
      - Player: What can I do with the flour I mill?
      - Millie Miller: Flour is ideal for making tasty cakes, pies or delicious bread. I'm not a cook so you'll have to ask a cook to find out how to bake things. You could also sell it on the Grand Exchange in Varrock for a profit! Likewise, if you need flour and do not have time to make it yourself, you can buy some there.
        Who are you?
        (Same as above)
        
        What is this place?
        (Same as above)
        
        I'm fine, thanks.
        (Dialogue ends)

      - Player: Well, maybe one day, I'll be important enough to sit at the Duke's table.
      - Cook: Maybe, but I won't be holding my breath.
