WoW Cooking Leveling Guide 1 - 525

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Cooking.

You can make [Basic Campfire] to cook your food.

If you are not planning on to level cooking to 450 in one day, you should visit Marogg (Horde) or Robby Flay (Alliance). These NPCs will give you daily quests which you will have to complete in order to level cooking up to 525. Upon completeing the quests, you will get 1-2 Cooking skill and one [Chef's Award]. Chef's Award can be used to purchase new cooking recipes from the Sous Chef in your home city, more on this later on when you reach 450.

  • 1 - 40

    60 x [Spice Bread] - 60 [Simple Flour], 60 Mild Spices

    Please read the section above this part if you didn't already. It is important.


80 - 130

Learn Journeyman Cooking.

  • 80 - 130

    Go to Ashenvale and head to the Zoram Strand, where the sea is (north-west).

    [Boiled Clams] - 1 Clam Meat, 1 Refreshing Spring Water - clam meat can be found in [Small Barnacled Clam]
    [Crab Cake] - 1 Crawler Meat

    Alliance:

    Alliance players can buy the following recipe because the Crawlers drop Crawler Claws. (kind of obvious)

    [Cooked Crab Claw] - 1 Crawler Claw


130 - 225

Learn Expert Cooking.


225 - 300

Learn Artisan Cooking.

  • 250 - 285
    40 x [Juicy Bear Burger] - 40 [Bear Flank]

    As of patch 4.0.3a, Horde players can no longer get the [Juicy Bear Burger] recipe. You have to complete this quest and make [Clamlette Magnifique] up to 275 and make [Recipe: Runn Tum Tuber Surprise] up to 300, below you can find out how to get the recipe.

    There is another really good recipe for the 275-300 part, but you have to run one Dire Maul east. The recipe is dropped by Pusillin and it's called [Recipe: Runn Tum Tuber Surprise].

    When you enter the instance, you can find Pusillin at the entrance, he is on the left side, then you just have to go and talk to him then follow him and talk to him again as soon as you catch up to him. At the end the imp will become hostile and you can kill him (Finally! Annoying little bastard!). You can solo this instance if you are around level 70, but it's a lot easier for higher levels. The recipe binds when picked up, this means it's a bit harder to get it with a group at low level, I would not recommend it to get a group of low levels just for this one recipe, you can level Cooking faster with the other recipes. The recipe uses [Runn Tum Tuber] as material, you can find these in [Warpwood Pods], they are all around the instance (read the first comments on wowhead). I could get 25 of them in one run, which is enough to level Cooking to 300 with this one recipe.


300 - 350

Visit your trainer and learn Cooking Master.


350 - 450

Visit your trainer and learn Cooking Grand Master.

  • 365 - 375

    The Cooking trainer will teach you a lot of recipes, all of them will go turn at 382 and gray at 415. Any of these recipes are good for skilling up Cooking. I recommend Rhino Dogs if you want to farm the materials. There are a lot of Rhinos around Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, and they respawn really quickly. If you want to buy the materials, you should check the prices for Rhino Dogs, Worm Meat and Fangtooth Herring. These are usually the cheapest ones.

    13 x [Rhino Dogs] - 13 [Rhino Meat]

  • 375 - 400
    Making one Kungaloosh costs 66 silver, so if you find out that Rhino Dogs, Worm Meat or Fangtooth Herring are cheaper than that, buy those instead.

    You have to finish a quest chain first. It starts with the quest called Some Make Lemonade, Some Make Liquor and ends with The Taste Test. After you completed the quest chain, go to Dalaran and find the Washed-Up Mage, he is in the In the underbelly (sewers). He will teach you how to make [Kungaloosh]. After that, go to the Dalaran Fruit Vendor and you can just buy the materials from him.


450 - 525

Visit your trainer and learn Cooking Illustrious Grand Master.

From this point, all of the recipe will be purchased with [Chef's Award], which are obtained by completing the daily cooking quest given by Marogg (Horde) or Robby Flay (Alliance). Once you have enough awards, you van visit Shazdar (Horde) or Bario Matalli (Alliance) and buy new recipes. One recipe usually cost 3 [Chef's Award].
