WoW Cooking Guide
World of Warcraft Cooking is definitely a great skill to learn, especially if you will combine it with a profession such as fishing. A fair amount of gold can be earned by cooking and it doesn’t require that much effort, making it more of a hobby than work for most players. This is a skill worthwhile to learn especially if you are the type who easily gets bored and wishes to change things a bit.
Before, a lot of gamers just brush off this profession, but after the coming of Burning Crusade, various opportunities started to spring up that demand for this skill went up resulting in people venturing into it. You can really do lots of things that other players won’t really need, but Cooking remains to be a good way to have extra gold and to enjoy while you’re at it.
How to get started
Once you decide that you want to give cooking a try, you’ll need to have fire. This requires the items: Flint and Tinder as well as Simple Wood. These are of course, pretty easy to find, so you shouldn’t need to work too hard to get them. Once you have these items, you’ll need to open up your Spellbook. All players have the ability to make the Basic Campfire, so you won’t need to worry about additional training at this point.
The cookbook can also be found in the Spellbook. Open it up to take a sneak peak at the recipes you may want to try. However, bear in mind that your fire will not last too long. Since wood is needed to start a fire, only do so when you are about to start cooking as not to waste the fire or the wood for that matter. Just choose the suitable ingredients that you will need for each recipe, and find yourself cooking in an instant.
You may notice that the recipes require a few other items in order to complete. Here’s a sample recipe for Crocolisk Steak. You’ll need to have one Crocolisk Meat and one set of Mild Spices. These can be purchased from a vendor, or you can go out and buy your own.
After completing your apprenticeship, you could now start moving forward. In order to even make small but save up, you could buy items you do not have from a cooking trainer. On the other hand, once you move through more quests, you’ll get to have easy access to the items your recipes require.
Advancing
As you start out, expect that you won’t have more of what you actually need in order to prepare advanced recipes. Here now is a fast approach of progressing in skill from level 1 to 375 easily. You have to begin in Ironforge. Here, you could buy one flour and a set of mild spices in order for you to prepare your first recipe of Spiced Bread. This recipe is very simple and would help you advance to 40. Once you’ve finished that part, you will need getting 30 mild spices and some more wood as well. Now, go to Auberdine to look for a Moonkin. You have to keep on killing it until getting around 20 eggs or even more. This task bolsters your skill level to 60.
After this, you can go down south to Ashenvale where you could find the Crawlers that drop clams. Get as many as you could and afterwards return to Ironforge. Cook up the eggs from the Moonkin and sell them. Next, you would need to look for a cooking trainer to learn more skills and eventually cook the clams you have found. At this point, your skill would have leveled up to to 130. Have with you the expert cookbook and you will surely be on your way to reaching 375.
