A Comprehensive Wow Cooking Guide

Cooking can be a very lucrative profession in World of Warcraft and it has always been one of the most enjoyable ones for me. In this article I share with you a number of tips and tricks that you can use to improve your cooking skill and make more gold.

For the 1st 5 levels in WoW you’ll be in a sub-area where you can’t start the cooking profession. The best thing to do here is just save a little money so that when you reach level 5 you can get started with the cooking profession.

Once you are all ready to leave the beginners area, go and speak with a guard and find out where the cooking trainer is located. Go and find the trainer. Your initial recipe is spice bread so head to a cooking supply shop and buy the needed ingredients. Cook the bread until it becomes green.

When you are questing you can often find suitable cooking ingredients. Even if you don’t need them right away, its sometimes a good idea to hang onto them because they will be of use later and you’ll save a bit of money not having to buy them. Egg’s and meat are a couple of common ingredients you can find during quests.

Something else to remember, when you’re talking with non player characters throughout the game, always check to see if they have any recipes for sale. You can sometimes find unique recipes here which contribute to one of your achievements which is based on how many different things you can cook.

As time goes by, you might start accumulating ingredients that you don’t need. In this case, sell them on the AH.

In order to make the most profit you need to cook foods that help with stat points. Sometimes the ingredients for these are only found in level 60+ zones. Don’t be discouraged however, stick at the profession and it’ll pay you well in the end.

Fishing is one profession that works in synergy with cooking – I recommend you strongly consider pairing this with cooking. Some high end meals are made using fish and fishing can obviously provide for this easily. Furthermore, fishing has achievements available.

You can take the most advantage out of your cooking profession by eating the foods you make to boost your stats and restore your hit points after battles. I suggest you sell your in demand foods in the Auction House for gold and master the fishing profession as this works very well with cooking.
