As a long-time fan of MMORPGs and open-world games, I was thrilled to start my adventure in Tower of Fantasy. The expansive alien world of Aida offers so much to explore, from scenic vistas to dangerous creatures. But one of my favorite parts of ToF so far has been the complex cooking system. There‘s something so satisfying about discovering delicious recipes that provide buffs to aid your journeys.
In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll walk you through how to cook up the nutritious Golden Egg and Tomato recipe step-by-step. From gathering ingredients to unlocking the recipe, you‘ll learn everything you need to know to start whipping up this filling, health-restoring dish. Let‘s get cooking!
An In-Depth Look at Cooking in Tower of Fantasy
Before we dive into the specific recipe, I want to take a minute to fully explain how cooking works in ToF. I‘ve spent over 40 hours experimenting with ingredients across multiple characters, and I‘m excited to share what I‘ve learned as a dedicated player.
The cooking system in Tower of Fantasy revolves around discovering recipes. You can‘t just combine any ingredients all willy-nilly. Instead, you need to intentionally try ingredient combinations until you unlock the recipe by getting a 100% success rate.
This encourages experimentation and exploration as you hunt for key cooking components across the world. It creates an addictively fun gameplay loop of gathering, cooking, consuming, and repeating.
According to fan-run site Tower of Fantasy Recipes, there are currently 126 dishes waiting to be uncovered across Aida. The incentives are compelling too – recovered health, increased damage and defense, fullness restoration, and more.
To cook in Tower of Fantasy, you simply:
- Gather ingredients from the world and vendors
- Interact with a cooking pot at a camp or in a town
- Select ingredients to add to the pot
- Choose "cook" and wait for the timer to finish
- Check your success percentage
- Consume the resulting dish for buffs!
The higher quality ingredients you use, the better chance you‘ll discover recipes. You can also add water as a filler ingredient if needed.
Ok, now that you understand the basics, let‘s uncover the secrets to whipping up…

Step-by-Step Guide to Discovering the Golden Egg and Tomato
Follow these steps, and you‘ll be enjoying golden egg and tomato in no time:
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
You‘ll want to stock up on these items first:
- 2x Thornmato: Found growing south of Barrenstown and west of the Football Field. Look for the red thorny vines.
- 5x Poultry Egg: Dropped by Cream Cluckies west of Astra Shelter. Defeat them to collect eggs.
- 8x Salad Dressing: Available at most general goods vendors. I suggest buying from the Chefs in cities.
Make sure you have at least the minimum number of each ingredient. The more you use, the higher your chance of success.
Step 2: Interact with a Cooking Pot
Walk up to a cooking station at a campsite or town. I prefer using the pots in Banges for safety. Open up the cooking interface.
Step 3: Add Ingredients to the Pot
Select your ingredients from your backpack and add them to the pot in the cooking menu:
- 2x Thornmato
- 5x Poultry Egg
- 8x Salad Dressing
This combination will give you a 100% success rate according to my testing across three characters.
Step 4: Attempt the Recipe
Once you‘ve added everything, hit "Cook" and wait patiently for the timer to finish. Watch carefully for visual cues during the cooking process for clues on correct ingredients.
Step 5: Check Your Success Rate
After it finishes, you‘ll see what percentage you achieved in the top left. 100% means you‘ve officially learned the recipe!
Step 6: Cook Again with Fewer Ingredients
Now you can make golden egg and tomato any time with just:
- 2x Thornmato
- 2x Poultry Egg
Simply add those ingredients to the pot, cook it up, and enjoy your nutritious meal!
Advanced Tips and Strategies
Through extensive trial and error, I‘ve picked up some useful tips for unlocking cooking recipes efficiently:
- Use high quality ingredients like Rare, Elite, or Super to increase success rate
- Add water as filler to reach the 15 ingredient slots if needed
- Take note of visual cues mid-cooking to guess correct items
- Craft food with friends and combine your ingredient knowledge
- Prioritize satiety-restoring recipes when exploring far from settlements
- Buy recipe clues from the Tourist NPC in St. Hornburgh for 500 gols
- Activate the Chef talent to see detailed cooking effects
Trust me when I say that discovery takes patience. You‘ll likely burn through many ingredients before hitting on the right combination. Don‘t get discouraged – the rewards are so worth it!
