81-99 cook is rather complicated. This is what I did for it at what levels, and the CATCH at the end. 81-90- swordies w/cook gaunts 90-94- monkfish w/cook gaunts. It is both rumored that gaunts DO and that they DO NOT help. I personally believe it is random for each character, because FOR ME, from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I burned 1-2 monks per load without, and 0 per load with. 94-99- sharkes w/cook gaunts. If you can do all of these in one day without prices fluctuating, then you will lose about 3m. However, prices DO fluctuate, and this whole process takes about 65 hours. For me, my sharks went up 4-5m while i was cooking them, so I actually made 1-2m on a production skill (Don't ever expect to earn money with a production skill, but rather to lose a lot)
