WoW Cooking Leveling Guide

Introduction to Cooking

Learning to Cook in WoW is a really useful skill and compliments several other professions like Fishing. You can actually earn a reasonable amount of gold with your cooking skill and you don’t have to put in a lot of effort, making it fun for players to give it a try.

Originally most players didn’t give it a second glance but with Burning crusade and WotLK its a profession that has taken on new possibilities. Some players actually need some of the things you make and you get cash in return. Click here if you would like to read our WoW Fishing Guide

Let's Begin

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. Open up your Spell book and look inside the cook book to find which recipes you would like to try. Remember though that your fire won’t last long so make sure you have bought enough wood.

When you have finished the apprenticeship you will need to spend a bit to make a bit. But when you have achieved more quests you will have the items needed for the recipes.

Cooking to Make Gold

Many think that cooking is a pretty useless skill to have but it’s what you cook that makes the difference. You will need to focus on foods that carry Buff points as these can be sold at the auction house. Warp burgers are good sellers at about 1 gold a piece. You can easily make 50 gold ph with this tip.

The seasons can be very important. At X-mas there will be quests that players need egg nog for and can earn 1 gold piece each making you even more gold.

Leveling Up

If you want a quick tip to level from 1 to 375 read on.... Star off in Ironforge. Purchase one flour and one mild spices to make your first recipe of Spiced Bread. This is very simple and will help you advance to 40.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to get 30 mild spices as well as some more wood. Then get to Auberdine and find a Moonkin. Keep killing it until you have around 20 eggs or more. This will take you to skill level 60.

You can then go south to Ashenvale where you will be able to find the Crawlers which will drop clams. Cook these back at Ironforge and sell them. Then cook the clams with the help of a cooking trainer. By now, your skill level will be up to 130. All you need to do now is get the expert cookbook to be on your way to 375.

The New Daily Quests

The new daily cooking quests are a recent introduction to the game. However, they generally need a cooking level of around 275. The good bit though, is that the pay back is high.
