Hey, fellow divers! Today, we’re diving deep into the Cooksta app in Dave the Diver to break down how to climb the ranks and achieve that coveted Diamond status. If you’ve been wondering how to increase your Cooksta rating or what exactly “Best Taste” means, you’re in the right place. This guide will cover everything from unlocking the different tiers to maximizing your rewards.

Understanding Cooksta Rankings

As you progress in Dave the Diver, you’ll notice that your Cooksta app has a ranking system that starts from Bronze and goes all the way up to Diamond. But how do you get there? Each rank comes with its own set of prerequisites, and unlocking these ranks isn’t just for bragging rights—each new tier also rewards you with bonuses like new recipes, more Wasabi at the bar, and even new interior items for your sushi restaurant.

What Rewards Can You Expect?

Climbing the ranks on Cooksta isn’t just about flexing on other sushi bars; it’s about unlocking valuable upgrades for your establishment. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect as you level up:

  • New Recipes: Unlock exclusive dishes that can attract more customers.
  • Increased Wasabi Stock: More Wasabi means better service during peak hours.
  • Interior Upgrades: Customize your sushi bar with unique decor to enhance the dining experience.

The Ranking Tiers Explained

There are five ranking tiers on Cooksta, each with specific requirements to unlock:

  1. Bronze
  2. Silver
  3. Gold
  4. Platinum
  5. Diamond

Let’s break down how to reach each of these tiers.

How to Unlock Each Tier

Bronze

This is the entry-level tier and is pretty straightforward to achieve. To unlock Bronze, all you need to do is:

  • Gain 10 Followers: Simply open the sushi bar, serve guests, and encourage them to like and post about your sushi on Cooksta.

Once you hit 10 followers, you’ll be promoted to Bronze.

Silver

Moving up to Silver requires a bit more effort:

  • Gain 20 Followers
  • Research 2 New Recipes: Head to the research tab in the sushi bar menu and start experimenting with new dishes.

Gold

Gold is where things start to get more challenging:

  • Gain 100 Followers
  • Achieve a Best Taste Score of 125: We’ll dive into what Best Taste means in a bit.
  • Research 5 Recipes: Keep experimenting in the research tab to discover new crowd-pleasers.

Platinum

Reaching Platinum is no small feat:

  • Gain 200 Followers
  • Best Taste Score of 250
  • Research 19 Recipes

This tier requires a solid strategy and some serious dedication.

Diamond

The final and most prestigious tier, Diamond, is where true mastery comes into play:

  • Gain 720 Followers
  • Best Taste Score of 375
  • Research 32 Recipes

Achieving Diamond status will take time, patience, and a lot of sushi-making expertise.

What is “Best Taste” and How to Maximize It

“Best Taste” is a crucial part of moving up the ranks, but the game doesn’t explain it very well. So, let’s break it down.

Understanding Best Taste

Every dish in Dave the Diver has a Best Taste score, represented by an emoji that looks like a little guy licking his lips. To increase this score, you’ll need to enhance the dish. Enhancing uses ingredients to boost a dish’s stats permanently. Once a dish is enhanced, its new Best Taste score will help you unlock higher Cooksta ranks.

How to Enhance a Dish

To enhance a dish, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Bancho Sushi Restaurant: Open the menu as if you’re adding an item for the night.
  2. Select Enhance: Instead of adding the item, click on the Enhance button (left control button for PC).
  3. Choose the Right Dish: Look for dishes with two little green arrows in the corner, indicating you have enough ingredients to enhance them.

Enhancing will consume your ingredients, so make sure you’ve got enough stocked up.

Best Taste Strategy

To reach the required Best Taste score for each tier, focus on enhancing dishes that have the potential for high scores. You don’t need to have the ingredients on hand every time you rank up—the game will count the highest score you’ve achieved, even if you can’t currently make the dish.

Conclusion

Climbing the ranks on Cooksta in Dave the Diver is a rewarding journey that can unlock powerful bonuses and new content for your sushi bar. From gaining followers to enhancing dishes, each step requires strategy and effort. Remember, reaching Diamond is a marathon, not a sprint, so take your time and enjoy the process.

Keep these tips in mind as you work your way up, and soon enough, you’ll be sitting at the top with a Diamond rank, reaping the rewards of your hard work.

Happy diving, and good luck on your journey to culinary greatness!
