Why life skills matter for combat

Life skills are the route to rare materials and high-end recipes — and, through them, the best gear in the game. Some players may spend as much time mastering the forge as they do fighting bosses — and that's by design. Cooking also grants temporary stat bonuses, directly tying your cozy routines into your dungeon performance.
