Description
WotLK Cooking 1-350 | World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is the second expansion set for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, following The Burning Crusade. It launched on November 13, 2008 and sold 2.8 million copies within the first day, making it the fastest selling computer game of all time released at that point. The game added a substantial amount of new content into the game world, including the new continent of Northrend, home of The Lich King Arthas and his undead minions. In order to advance through Northrend, players were required to reach at least level 68, with the level cap for the expansion being 80. The first hero class was introduced, the Death Knight, that starts at level 55.
Cooking is one of the secondary professions in World of Warcraft.
It is a crafting profession which, as the name suggests, revolves around making food-type consumable items. Food made with Cooking grants the  [Well Fed] buff which, depending on the food eaten, provides temporary stat buffs which typically last for 1 hour. Examples include  [Clefthoof Sausages] which boosts Versatility, [Barracuda Mrglgagh] which boosts Mastery, and  [Ravenberry Tarts] which boosts Haste. Nearly all foods, even the ones not made with Cooking, also grant increased health regeneration while eating. Cooking can also be used to make certain entertaining consumables like the famous  [Savory Deviate Delight] or “feast” items such as  [Great Feast] which can be placed on the ground in order for several players to eat and benefit from it.
The base ingredients for food is meat and fish though many foods also require spices, Cooking-specific ingredients such as [Juicycrunch Carrot], or even other food items. In some cases eggs (such as [Small Egg]), alcohol, herbs, or even more exotic ingredients are also used.
High-level Well Fed buffs are powerful enough to make Cooking a popular profession. In particular end-game content often requires characters to have as good stats as possible to overcome various challenges, making Cooking foods a must.
