Around this Level, you need either your botanist or buying materials from market board. I will try to introduce which is the easiest to level up your Culinarian! Let’s begin!
You can also use Ishgardian Restoration. Please check here!
Also don’t forget to do Ixsali dairy quest and Grand company daily Supply and Provisioning Mission everyday!
Level 21 – 25
Making Grape Juice (Lv. 21 Recipe) or Chamomile Tea (Lv. 24 Recipe) is the easiest to level up. Needed ingredients are less than other recipe. You can use Grape Juice for Lv.20 Guildleve, and Chamomile Tea for Lv. 25 Guildleve later.
Or if you want to spend less time, you can buy Grape Juice. Check the Lv. 20 Guileleve.
If you want to save Guildleve Allowance, just keep making these. Then you can sell these items on market board! (Please check the selling price first!)

You can collect Noble Grapes and Chamomile from the same spot! Teleport to Camp Bronze lake and fly to the west, over the lake, the spot is close to the Memeroon’s Trading Post Ferry.
Noble Grapes can be used for Lv.31 recipe, if you want to save some allowance!

- Chamomile: (Harvesting) Upper La Noscea, Lv. 25 Oakwood
