WoW Cooking Guide

Cooking in WoW is a great skill to earn, and although it’s not completely necessary, it does mesh well with several other professions, such as a fishing. You can actually earn a moderate amount of gold with your cooking skill and you don’t have to put forth a lot of effort, making it a lot fun for most players to give it a try. If you are looking to change things up, this is a skill that is more than worthwhile to learn.

In the past, most people didn’t even give this profession a second thought, but with Burning Crusade a lot more opportunities opened up that required this skill and more people are now giving it a try. You can actually make some things that other players really need, so this is a good way to get extra gold and have fun while you’re doing it.

Getting 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.

If you do not have time to grind for the materials needed you can always purchase them which will be easy if you are using a gold guide to make gold.
