Cooking for a RogueFollow
I'm starting my first-ever rogue soon and I've been told I need to learn cooking so that I can eventually make Thistle Tea. Is that true? It is worth the cost and effort? I have never advanced far in cooking in the past because it seemed like a useless skill.
It's not a must if you dont like the buff the tea offers. Although i would think you're crazy if you didnt. That tea is ubber powerful until you reach lv 40, after thats the buff starts decreasing.

The required to make it a pain in the *** to get.
The Recepie is from a quest in Booty Bay. It instantly gives you 100 energy and has a 2 or 5 min cooldown, not sure which. I'm a herbalist/alchy so its great for me, but I tend to sell more than I use. If you had to buy the swiftthistle to make the tea, then it is not worth it at all since swiftthistle can go for some crazy prices.
I never used the tea on my rogue. I’m very bad about remembering to use such things until after the battle. They’ll sit in my inventory for ages gathering dust. However, I would still highly recommend you take up cooking.
Many foods will give you stat buffs. Rogues are melee fighters that can wear nothing heavier than leather. Any advantage you can get from stat buffs is a good thing. This is one reason herbalism/alchemy are such good professions for rogues. That is assuming that you can remember to use the potions you make. *smiles*
Take a look at the list off cooked foods in this link:

Mouse over the foods and see what kind of buffs you get. They are not large at low levels, but they get better. Stamina/Spirit boosts are not uncommon for many foods. The stamina will give you more hit points and the added spirit will help you regenerate hit points faster. By the time you get to outland you can cook things like Ravager Dogs that give you +40 attack power and +20 spirit or Warp Burgers that give you +20 agility and +20 spirit. Both of those are free buffs, as all you need to cook them are the meat drops.

Unless you are a herbalist, the swifthistle is too expensive to make the tea worth your time. And actually even if you are a herbalist, the swiftthistle is worth more to you for selling or making swiftness pots.
I'd still take up cooking. I'm always carrying roast raptor and curiously tasty omelets simply for the STA buff. You can farm raptors and get a lot of eggs and raptor flesh fairly easily.

Probably something your best of leveling at 70.
Cooking is often overlooked as a profession. As mentioned, you can get nice buffs from cooking certain foods. You'll also want to level fishing which is quite painstaking to do in one go, but you can create food that gives you health/mana regen, +strength, +agility... it also saves you having to buy food.
You can even sell some of it, such as savoury deviate delights and dragon breath chilli.
It's not hard to level, but having to kill boars over and over again to get enough meat is tiresome at higher levels, so I'd recommend starting as soon as you can
