You need silver for the last cauldron upgrade, but eyescream was something I could make without it. It was my best stamina food for a long time... until I discovered silver. What I could never make before I found silver was the baked goods. I had an oven and nothing to use it for. I had barley flour and no recipes which used it. Fyi. But definitely upgrade the cauldron as much as you are able.

Eyescream is a Level 3 Recipe. You will need the Chopping Block or the pan set (meaning you will need Silver or Black Metal) in addition to the Spice Rack before being able to make it.
