Where to learn Cooking: ranks and trainers

Cooking has four ranks. Any trainer teaches the first two, the third comes from a book and the last one from a quest.

Cooking questions

What is the fastest way to level Cooking in WoW Forever?

Our route takes 7 steps and about 321 crafts to 300. It uses only trainer and vendor recipes and switches as soon as a recipe turns yellow and its chance drops too far.

How much does Cooking 1 to 300 cost at vendors?

The vendor goods on our route add up to about 0g 0s. Herbs, ore, cloth and leather come on top, and their auction house prices are only known at launch.

When do I train the next rank of Cooking?

Journeyman at 50. Trainers charge gold for each rank, and Classic also asked for character level 10, 20 and 35. Blizzard has not confirmed whether Forever keeps those levels.

What is new in Cooking in WoW Forever?

The beta data has 44 new Cooking recipes. Blizzard talks about more than 600 new recipes across all professions. On top come Camping objects from skill 20 and a Legacy point at 150, 225 and 300.

Why is my count not exact?

Yellow and green recipes give a point only by chance. We use the average and round up. Enter your real skill after each step and the rest lines up again.

Short on time for the profession grind?

Every guide here shows how to do it yourself. If your evenings are short, our boosters take the grind off your hands. Options and current prices are on each service page.
