Do You Need to Skill Up Cooking?

You certainly don’t need it to get to 70, and at that point, cooking isn’t really necessary. If you have The Burning Crusade however, this skill has been greatly buffed, so it’s worth having this secondary skill, and it’s a lot of fun.

There are other reasons to skill up cooking too.

For example, rogues will want the thistle tea that instantly restores some energy. Try on some egg nog for size, it can turn you into a reindeer or snowman and get you all boozed up at the same time. Besides, it’s part of the WoW experience to have 300 or 375 cooking, you get to do some additional quests, and the Burning Crusade offers powerful buffs from the food you cook. One of the best things, is that you can make extra gold from cooking the high level recipes (which are easy to obtain).

As a secondary skill that anyone can learn, there is no reason to not have cooking. And with this guide you’ll be able to skill it up very fast and get all the common recipes.

How To Cook Food

First you need to be at a fire. Most any fire will do, but if you can’t find one in the environment you need to make one. To make a fire you need Flint and Tinder and Simple Wood. The Flint and Tinder is never consumed so you only ever need one, but 1 x Simple Wood is used for every fire you make. They are very inexpensive to buy.

Once you have those two items in your inventory you use the Basic Campfire ability found on the general tab of your spell book. You have to train in cooking at a cooking trainer to have access to that ability. It takes 10 seconds to make a fire which lasts a few minutes.

When standing at the fire, bring up the cooking window from the general tab in your spellbook, choose the food you want to create and click the create button. That’s it. (You’ll of course need to get the necessary ingredients to cook that food first.)

This cooking guide uses a lot of vendor bought recipes, be prepared to travel a lot because you have to buy cooking recipes and farm meats,eggs etc. while you are leveling this profession. Updated for WoW patch 3.1

You will need a lot of spices later, so make sure to buy them before you go out for farm mobs, you can buy spices at every cooking or trade supplier.

130 – 225

• 325 – 350
You have 3 choices now. I say, farming Talbuk Venison and Clefthoof Meat is a lot easier than the Warped Flesh, because they are both in Nagrand, but you might need the Warp Burger for raiding.

The Cooking trainer will teach you a lot of recipes which will go green at 382 skill and gray at 415 skill. Any of these recipes are good for skilling up Cooking.
I recommend Rhino Dogs. There are a lot of Rhinos around Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, and they respawn really quickly.

• 400 – 425
Every cooking recipe beyond this point will be purchased with [Dalaran Cooking Awards], which are obtained by completing the daily cooking quest given by Katherine Lee (Alliance) or Awilo Lon’gomba (Horde). And you’re going to need them and a ton of Northern Spices to level past 425 skill.
You should cook the recipe that you will use for raiding. Choose one recipe from these, and make that until you reach 425. The recipes are sold by Derek Odds (Alliance) and Misensi (Horde).

[Gigantic Feast] or [Small Feast]. Both recipes are sold by the NPCs mentioned above.

The Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide

It used to be where most players didn’t even think twice about this profession, but Burning Crusade changed all of that. Now there are a lot more opportunities that are requiring this skill so players are doing it more and more. You now have the ability to make things that are essential to other players, earn gold, and have fun at the same time.

Even though cooking is technically a secondary profession that is trained outside of the two other main professions, don’t overlook it’s benefits.  Cooking brings buffs, healing, and mana regenerations. The materials are usually cheaper as well rather than buying potions. Don’t forget that cooking and fishing pretty much go together, so finding the time to fish can bring you some great buffs for leveling or raiding. With the expansions, it is more difficult to find the needed fish to level cooking, but if you have the time you can fish for the materials to save gold.

In our next post, we will talk about a WoW Cooking Guide that will help you level your cooking skill quickly.
