is cooking worht it?

shdw · 07-10-2009, 09:30 AM

is cooking worth the hassle? buff additions seem to be quite low and their better versions don't seem to scale properly with levels. can anyone oriented on theorycraft confirm or else? but please only if you can back it up with arguments or numbers...im not interested in RP players telling me how cool it is to make your own food (or drink or anything).

If you don't have food buffs, you disadvantage yourself.

Food that instantly restores 4000 DP seems worth it to me.

Not like everyone in your legion needs to be able to cook, 3 or 4 poeple depending on how many you have should be plenty

yeah dp food is cool but i was thinking about stuff like the low level food which increases magic power by few points or evasion etc. seems like a very little increase (and even the higher level versions are still low numbers).

it may be handy to level the profession later. im just little under the impression that its waste of time during leveling (if you wanna level up as fast as possible that is).

The way i see it is once i get into a legion come release i'll keep the cook supplied with cookeries and he/she can supply with the food and i'll do the same for anyone needn tailor goods.

In this game (like most PVP-related games) min/maxing is almost a must. If you don't get that extra point from cooking and your opponent does, you're gimping yourself.

Whether the legion chef can keep the whole guild stocked or not remains to be seen...but personally for things like Alchemy and Cooking I'll do them myself just so I always have them on stock.

I don't get cooking, is it like a main profession that if you max it out, you can't max out say Armorsmithing? Or is like a secondary prof that everyone can max out?

All professions can be leveled up to 399. After that, you can only "master" one profession. Honestly I wouldn't master cooking, hehehe, but who knows, some people may. Not sure what benefits you get being a master cook as most other masteries get you better gear and such.

I thought only a Master cook could crate the DP refill food?

Dunno...if so, obviously have one designated cook in the guild and they create it all, LOL. I see no need to master cooking when there are other more beneficial ones for your character in general (sewing/armorcrafting or handicraft/weaponsmithing)

DP Food is craftable by cooking masters only.
Think it was 420 for 2k DP and 440 for 4k DP food.
It has indeed a cooldown, but I'm not sure if it is 30 or 60 minutes.

Even with that CD I'm still interested tbh..

The food is saleable, not BoP or anything? I could make it on alt and use it on main par example?
