Progression in Roblox Archived is centered around climbing the Fixer Grades. Many new players find themselves stuck at Grade 8 or 7 after hours of play, unsure of how to rank up efficiently. Right now, one method stands out as the fastest and safest way to grade up — Cooking Quests (Cookamo / Cook Meal).
Why Cooking is the Fastest Way to Rank Up
Traditionally, players used combat-based contracts like Evict, but currently:
- Evict only gives ~45 XP and seems inconsistent (sometimes bugged).
- Cook Meal gives ~100 XP per run, making it more than double the efficiency.
- Cooking has no wipe risk — unlike combat quests where you can be ganked or wiped.
- Almost no one farms these quests, meaning you can complete them undisturbed.
How to Start Cooking Quests
- Travel to the NPC Vendor – Purchase your ingredients:
- Bread: Requires 2 Flour
- Spices (for flavoring)
- Meat (must be cooked before use)
- Prepare Ingredients Separately –
- Raw Meat → Cooked Meat
- Bread → Prepared Bread
- Then combine with spices.
Important: If you try to cook everything at once, the recipe fails and your ingredients are wasted. Always prepare step by step.
- Follow Recipes from Trello – Some in-game prompts are misleading. For example:
- Hamburger Recipe (Correct): 2 Bread + 1 Spices + 1 Cooked Meat
- If you follow the in-game text directly, it may fail. Use Trello or community guides for accuracy.
Contracts & Rewards
- Cook Meal / Cookamo Contract – Currently the best XP per time investment.
- Rewards:
- High XP (about 100 per completion)
- Decent money (On)
- Safe, no combat risk
- Avoid:
- Doc Delivery: Bugged at the moment (NPCs overlap, teleporters fail). Slow and unreliable.
- Coffee Jelly Cook Contract: Impossible on new slots right now since coffee is unobtainable.
Strategy for Fast Leveling
- Spam Cook Meal Quests – Each one takes 1–2 minutes max once you know the recipes.
- Farm until Grade 5 or higher before switching to more advanced contracts or raids.
- Do not waste time grinding buggy quests like Evict unless Cooking is unavailable.
Extra Tips
- Contract Demand: While Trello suggests it doesn’t affect XP, many players report differences in payout depending on contract demand. Keep an eye on it.
- Safe Location: Cooking quests are done in relatively quiet spots (like Darius), so you’re less likely to be ganked.
- Money & Items: Cooking not only gives XP but also funds your future Ego Weapon Extractions and other expenses.
Right now, the meta for ranking up fast in Roblox Archived is Cooking (Cookamo / Cook Meal).
- It’s faster than combat contracts.
- It’s safer (no wipe risk).
- It consistently rewards both XP and money.
If you’re stuck at lower grades and frustrated with slow progression, focus on Cooking until at least Grade 5, then branch out into raids, library invitations, or harder association contracts.
