How to increase Chef Level in Wuthering Waves

To increase your Chef Level in Wuthering Waves, you have to, unsurprisingly, cook. When you’re in the cooking menu at any of the stoves in the world, your Chef Level is indicated at the top left corner with one to five stars. Click on the level, and you’ll see how many Proficiency points you need to level up.

Cooking any dish grants you Proficiency points. The amount of points you get depends on the rarity of the dish. There’s also a limit on how many points you can get from cooking one dish, so no making hundreds of Jinzhou Skewers. Making ingredients like Tofu and Hot Pot Base doesn’t give any Proficiency points, so there’s no double-dipping into cooking for a faster point farm.

Here are all the dish rarities, how many Proficiency points they grant, and what’s the maximum amount of available points per dish:

  • Green: 10 points per dish (maximum 300)
  • Blue: 20 points per dish (maximum 300)
  • Purple: 40 points per dish (maximum 400)
  • Yellow: 60 points per dish (maximum 600)

You can get new dish recipes from Panhua Restaurant in Jinzhou by completing Milestones (you can get the legendary Morri Pot recipe this way) and leveling up your Chef Level. Each new level grants some Astrite, weapon or Resonator EXP, Shell Credits, and two new recipes for you to master.
