Cooking in WoW Forever

  • Extra skill

Cooks turn meat and fish into food that heals you between fights and makes you stronger for a while. In Forever, Cooking also builds the campfire, the heart of every camp. You can learn it on top of your two main professions.

Worth learning early? Yes. It costs you nothing to learn alongside your two, and food is useful from level 1.
