Special orders
"What are special orders?"
Once every 20 minutes there will be a new, urgent Special order. It means that a random dish will come up in a list on the Special Orders page under the Cooking menu. You can also reach it by clicking the menu sign on the member home page.
There is a certain number of dishes required in each Special order; from 1 and up to 30. The first members who cook this dish will win a prize. If only one is required, only one member will win. If 30 is required, the first 30 people will win. If no one has cooked the required dishes within 6 hours, the order will expire. Click the "Claim prize" link that appears on the Special Orders page after cooking an order to get your prize. The point towards the leaderboard is added when you click the "Claim prize" link, and not when the actual dish is cooked.
You can only claim a prize from cooking the Special order once per order, and you have 2 hours to claim your prize. After cooking the requested dish, go back to the Special Orders page and claim your prize. You will win 10 gold, 5 experience points and rarity level 1-5 ingredients; 2 for common recipes, 4 for rare recipes and 6 for super rare recipes.
Special Orders are one part of the weekly contests. The 10 people who cook the most Special Orders during the week will win a prize. The point towards the leaderboard is added when you click the "Claim prize" link, and not when the actual dish is cooked.
