Cooking
Overview
Cooking is a secondary profession. Every character can learn it, in addition to their two primary professions.
In WoW Forever, the cooking fire becomes a campfire, at the heart of the camp.
What this profession is for
- Cook meals that grant a small experience and stat bonus.
- Light a Basic Campfire, where up to three items crafted by professions can be placed.
- Craft upgraded campfires, which hold five to ten items at the camp.
Learning the profession
Cooking is learned from a cooking trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill, with no requirement.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill, with no character level.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill. No trainer teaches it: it is learned with the Expert CookbookVendor componentSold by vendors., sold by Shandrina in Ashenvale (Alliance) and by Wulan in Desolace (Horde).
- Artisan: up to 300, from 225 skill and level 35. It is obtained with the quest "Clamlette Surprise", given by Dirge Quikcleave in Tanaris.
Remember to learn the next rank as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
All these trainers teach the Apprentice and Journeyman ranks, up to 150.
