Event Mechanics

Players can use the Cooking Pot to combine different plants and ingredients into meals. By jumping into the pot themselves, players can literally spin inside it during the cooking process!

The size and type of ingredients used affect both the cooking duration and the quality of the rewards. Feeding the pig with better dishes will yield rarer prizes.

  • Larger ingredients = longer cook time + more points
  • More points = better rewards
  • Special cravings from Chris P. the pig may temporarily affect results

Cooking Rewards

If the pig is happy with your dish, it will reward you with one of the following items depending on how valuable your meal is:
