Cook's Assistant guide image update

[Mighty]

Now, i was just thinking of adding more images and more detailed information on the guide :)

 

The bolded text is the one i added! (the map is not made by me and it was on the guide before! every other images are made by me)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the guide with the images and information i made:

 

 

 

Starting out

 

 

 

After speaking to the chef, you will need to collect three ingredients for his cake: milk, an egg and some flour.

 

 

Take the pot from the table, and take a bucket from the basement(if you don't already have them).

 

Refer to the map below to obtain these ingredients. It is suggested that you get the ingredients in this order.

 

 

 

 

Getting the Milk

 

 

 

Now go out of the castle and go across the bridge to east, then head north to the cow pen.. If you do not already have a bucket, you can pick one up from the chicken farm, just northwest up the path from the cow pen (marked egg on the map). Use your bucket with one of the dairy cows in the pen and you will receive a bucket of milk. (see the image below)

 

 

 

 

Getting the Egg

 

 

 

Walk few steps north from the cow pen and pick an egg from the egg respawn. (see the image below)

 

 

 

 

Getting the Flour

 

 

 

If you do not have a pot yet, purchase one from the Lumbridge General Store for a few gp. Once you have a pot, go west from the cow pen across the bridge, and head northwest all the way to the windmill.

 

 

 

 

Note: Egg can also be found on the farm few steps south of the windmill.

 

 

 

Pick one bundle of grain from the field outside then enter the windmill. Go inside the windmill and climb to the top floor. Use your grain with hopper, then operate the hopper controls. Descend to the ground floor and use the pot with the flour bin. Alternatively, you can buy flour from the food shop in Port Sarim. (see the images below for how to use the windmill)

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the Chef

 

 

 

Bring the flour, egg and milk to the chef in the kitchen to complete the quest.

 

 

He will now let you use his range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those 'pot' words were bolded, because your guide says they are buckets. Hehe you guys typoed :D

[Ned]

The text additions are great, they make it much more clear, nice work! :)

 

The images are very helpful too, but I've a feeling you will be asked to take them in standard detail and convert them into a JPG. The Crew has a limit to the image size they have on their guides.

 

 

 

(trust me, I've tried suggesting HD pictures already :cry: :P )

[Mighty]

Oww, okay. Thanks anyway =)

[Ned]

You definitely should keep them in your post though, there's no harm in trying :D, plus your suggestions for adding text are great.

[Mighty]

Okay, i just hope someone from the crew will check it out...

 

(i am thinking of making another guide update...)

[Mighty]

It seems this never was accepted or are the crew unsure/lazy? :|

[bluehooloovo]

I'm not really a quest crewbie, so most of this is just my view as a site user.

 

 

 

This is the guide with the images and information i made:

 

 

 

Starting out

 

 

 

After speaking to the chef, you will need to collect three ingredients for his cake: milk, an egg and some flour.

 

 

Take the pot from the table, and take a bucket from the basement(if you don't already have them).

 

Refer to the map below to obtain these ingredients. It is suggested that you get the ingredients in this order.

The bit about the pot on the table and the bucket in the basement is in the Tip, Tricks, and Notes section, though considering that this is a beginner quest, it probably wouldn't hurt to mention it in the walkthrough. I don't see the necessity of doing it in any particular order, though. The guide has clear headings for each ingredient, and if someone wants to do it in a different order, it really doesn't effect the instructions at all.

 

 

 

Getting the Milk

 

 

 

Now go out of the castle and go across the bridge to east, then head north to the cow pen.. If you do not already have a bucket, you can pick one up from the chicken farm, just northwest up the path from the cow pen (marked egg on the map). Use your bucket with one of the dairy cows in the pen and you will receive a bucket of milk. (see the image below)

 

The more detailed instructions to the cow pen couldn't hurt, I suppose.

 

 

 

Getting the Egg

 

 

 

Walk few steps north from the cow pen and pick an egg from the egg respawn. (see the image below)

 

It's more than a few steps north, and I think the instructions currently in the guide are fine for this step.

 

 

 

Getting the Flour

 

 

 

If you do not have a pot yet, purchase one from the Lumbridge General Store for a few gp. Once you have a pot, go west from the cow pen across the bridge, and head northwest all the way to the windmill.

 

 

 

 

Note: Egg can also be found on the farm few steps south of the windmill.

Heh, thanks for the pot correction. Typos breed like tribbles. ;) Pretty sure your note here is wrong, though, unless you're talking about somewhere other than Farmer Fred's. I've never seen an egg respawn there. Also, I personally prefer the directions to the windmill on the site, because it makes it easier to do the steps in any order, and a specific order is really not needed.

 

 

 

Pick one bundle of grain from the field outside then enter the windmill. Go inside the windmill and climb to the top floor. Use your grain with hopper, then operate the hopper controls. Descend to the ground floor and use the pot with the flour bin. Alternatively, you can buy flour from the food shop in Port Sarim. (see the images below for how to use the windmill)

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the Chef

 

 

 

Bring the flour, egg and milk to the chef in the kitchen to complete the quest.

 

 

He will now let you use his range.

 

The last line is unnecessary, the reward list is immediately below and it's included there. Also, while the last two pictures are more reasonably sized (see note below), they don't really seem to add much to the guide. They don't clarify anything: anyone who has gathered the ingredients would presumably know what they look like, and the picture of the range doesn't really look any different from any other range, plus there's only one range anywhere near the Chef.

 

 

 

 

 

About images: I personally like most of your pictures. The ones about where to find each of the ingredients do make the guide clearer (I seem to recall spending almost an hour trying to find the stupid egg, for example, though that was before I discovered tip.it). The problem, as warriormonkx pointed out, is that we try not to make the guides too huge. Some of the users have slow connections - 6 200k+ pictures on one guide is probably not the best idea for them, y'know? Especially when they're only that size for the prettiness and smaller files would get the point across the same way.

 

 

 

I'll fix the bucket/pot typo when I get home unless someone beats me to it. The rest, I'll talk things over with some other crewbies. :)

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your willingness to help. Please, keep it up. :D

[Mighty]

Okay, i understand. I was just doing this for fun, and i had a good time doing it. Thank you for your comment =)

[Cowman_133]

Basically we can and will add images if it directly helps the user. Maps and pictures are often useful to new players so if any image really jumps out and clarifies a confusing part, it can be added. To save on bandwidth though we cannot put too many pictures in.

 

 

 

The other thing is we are always aiming to provide descriptive directions, especially in new-comer guides.

 

 

 

I'll take another look at this guide and clarify some not-so-explained parts. :)

 

 

 

Thanks for bringing this up.

[pokemama]

I confess I very much like the pics showing how to use the windmill to make flour.

 

 

 

A thicker font, and numbering the steps (1. climb to top 2. put grain 3. work control) would be good. And obviously a low detail pic would make the file size smaller ... 277K for one pic is definitely too much.

 

 

 

Sadly I'm not an "image person", so it's only my two cents.

[Mighty]

Yeah i am about to do a remake with low detail.(the windmill thingy)

 

and sorry for posting to old thread
