Being successful in World of Warcraft is about much more than having the best gear, you have to make sure your character is taking advantage of every aspect allowed to them.  Having the right primary skills may take some thought, but mastering every secondary skill in the game should not.  Each secondary skill has its own way of improving the ability of your character.
Among these important secondary skills is cooking.  Cooking provides your character the opportunity to take advantage of materials that, had you not known better, you might mistakenly discard as trash.  The game is designed for you to take advantage of this skill, which yields food and drinks that have the potential to provide your character with benefits that last up to 2 hours.
Bonuses That Cooking Can Provide to Your Character
The best benefit of cooking early on in the game is the statistical bonuses that come with it, which buffs a specific area of your character’s ability for a certain amount of time.  If your character is low on health points, you can replenish it by sitting down for a few seconds and eating some food that your character was able to make from the mob you just killed.  The game is designed for you to take advantage of this skill.
Will I Make Money from Cooking?
The ability to make money out of cooking in the game of Warcraft has not yet been included. The primary function of cooking in World of Warcraft occurs as the game draws to its end, and that is to help in ‘raiding’ – that is, to end the content of the game. By cooking, you can get some huge statistical bonuses that usually target a certain character, at level 80 of the game. These different and varied statistical bonuses are not just confined to primary statistics like Intelligence, Strength, Agility etc. They also apply to other statistics like Hit Rating, Critical Strike Rating and also Mana regeneration.
Using this Cooking Leveling Guide will make it much more painless to become a master cook without emptying your gold stash in the process.  It will show the steps you need to take to optimize the time you spend while questing, and which activities are more conducive to gathering materials needed for cooking.  If you have the gold to spend, you could just buy the materials in the Auction House, but this isn’t necessary if you have the time and patience to gather them yourself.
Should I Bother with Cooking?
Once you reach the highest level of cooking, you become a very important asset to the end game content.  Your creations will often be required at raids and PvP events, and you’ll find yourself with a lot of friends in need of your services.
With this skill being available to all characters, don’t be the one that is left behind.  It just may be the deciding factor in your success while playing World of Warcraft.
