Getting Started with Cooking in World of Warcraft

[utdduu...@yahoo.com]

There are a more than a dozen different options for those looking to
supplement their World of Warcraft gaming time with a little
professional flair and money making. Professions range from the most
basic of gathering options to the fully detailed gathering and
crafting of blacksmithing and alchemy. Depending on your needs,
professions can gain you large sums of gold or provide much needed
armor and materials that would cost you dearly otherwise.
Cooking is yet another of those professions, and for those players who
need food to heal, it's not a bad idea to try your hand at this
profession to save a bit of gold and discovery all of the fun that
World of Warcraft cuisine has to offer. Food is everywhere in Azeroth.
You'll pick up cuts of meet all over from the mobs and animals you
kill and can easily build your supply up over time. There's no need to
buy anything from a vendor if you play the game correctly.
The first step is to find a good cooking trainer. There are cooking
trainers for every corner of the map, depending on your race and class
when you start playing. Go through the basic training and you should
be an apprentice cook, ready to play. You'll need tinder, a flint and
some wood on you at all times so you can build a cook fire and put
your ingredients to use. There are numerous places throughout the
world where you can find existing fires, but it's always best to be
prepared.
For those looking to become an Artisan cook, there are dozens of
quests you can undergo. You should already be at level 225 in cooking
to get started on the more advanced quests and have an Expert
Cookbook. These can be purchased in Shadowprey Village in Desolace for
Horde members and Silverwing Refuge in Ashenvale for Alliance members.
After you have your cookbook and the necessary skill to get started,
it's time to head off to one of two places to find your cooking
trainers for higher levels. For Horde players, head to Zamja in
Ogrimmar and for Alliance you can find help with Daryl Riknussun in
Ironforge.
Most people don't choose cooking. For that reason you should be able
to find many of the recipes you're looking for fairly easily. They
show up in multiple places, including as rewards for quests and on
various mob kills. You should keep your eyes open as well as certain
recipes can only be found on holidays or with certain quests. If all
else fails, the auction house is always a great place to go to find
recipes that you may have missed out on.
For those that devote enough time to cooking and advancing your
cooking skills, you can build up your revenue by selling your skills
and wares to other players in need of food. If you combine fishing
with your cooking skills you will be set for the duration of the game,
both with gold and with replenishable food
supplies.
