Cooking is a secondary skill for converting raw foodstuffs into edible meals.

What Cooking Creates

Cooking creates food, typically out of meat that has been found on fallen enemies or fish that have been acquired through fishing. While there is food in the game that can be bought from the vendor, it is somewhat pricier, and most cooking-made food also includes a Well Fed buff of some kind, which increases the character's stats after eating.

What Cooking Requires

In some cases, cooking requires very little, but typically a cook will need at least some kind of cooking fire. These can be found in various places in towns, especially inns, and can also be created from scratch with Flint and Tinder and Simple Wood.

Is Cooking For Me?

Cooking is a secondary skill, which means there is no reason to specifically avoid it. Perhaps you may not find it enjoyable to level or extremely useful, but there is at least some limited benefit in raising cooking. Hunters, in particular, often enjoy the easy source of fairly free food for their pets.

In terms of making money, cooking isn't very profitable. There are some recipes past level 60 that are fairly meaningful as short term buffs, and sell something like alchemy potions. Although anybody can cook, a lot of people do not train up the profession and must rely on the Auction House for their consumables.

There are several benefits of being your own cook, such as a few cooking quests, including one daily quest and being able to cook to eat and restore energy, health, mana, and other stats. It is a useful skill at any level.

Specialization

There is no specialization for cooking.

Cooking Quests

Quests strictly for Cooks

With the exception of the daily cooking quests from The Rokk, there are essentially no quests that require cooked items. There are quests that supply cooking recipes as a reward and require raw materials, however.

Leveling Information

Like all secondary skills, you can only learn to achieve skill level 150 from trainers. In order to advance the skill cap beyond that you will need to either purchase books or perform quests.

  • Skill level 1-50: This is learned from the trainer. All that is required is a character level of 5.
  • Skill level 51-150: This is also learned at the trainer. You can train for the next skill cap at skill level 40 and a character level of 10.
  • Skill level 151-225: For this you are required to purchase a book, Expert Cookbook.
    • Horde: You can purchase this book from Wulan who lives in Shadowprey Village in Desolace.
    • Alliance: You can purchase this book from Shandrina in Ashenvale. She's in Silverwind Refuge which is a camp on the northern shore of the lake that's south of Raynewood Retreat.
  • Skill Level 226-300: For this you will need to perform a quest. You cannot get the quest until you're skill level 225 and character level 35. The quest Clamlette Surprise is available to both factions from Dirge Quickcleave in the Inn at Gadgetzan in Tanaris
  • Skill level 301-375: You will again need to purchase a book: Master Cookbook.

Levelling your fishing skill at the same time as your cooking skill can make levelling cooking from skill level 27 to 300 easier. As of patch 2.4.2 the only way to level up cooking to skill level 300 is by cooking fish, doing the quest in silithus that teaches how to cook sandworms or by obtaining a recipe that drops from an imp mob in the Dire Maul East instance.
