In Warcraft Classic, cooking is an auxiliary professional skill. Its main function is to create food that enhances player attributes. Although cooking food is very important when players open up wasteland groups, because cooking food can be sold, many players directly choose to use it. Buying in the auction house, I am too lazy to develop this professional skill, but in the WLK version, the cooking profession is about to rise, and the income has been qualitatively improved.
The first important reason for the rise of the cooking profession is the addition of the "banquet" manufacturing item. After use, a sumptuous banquet can be placed for all players in the team. It is similar to the mage's table, but the banquet is not for taking. For food, players can sit down and eat and drink after clicking on it. While restoring their health and mana, they can obtain buffs after satisfying the eating and drinking time. Depending on the banquet, the buff effects are also different.
Of course, players can learn a basic banquet through a cooking trainer, but if they want to learn more abundant banquet recipes, they need to purchase blueprints from NPCs. When it comes to purchasing blueprints, we have to talk about the new cooking at level 80. Daily, you can pick it up in the main city of Dalaran and reach a cooking level of 375. After completing the task, the player will be rewarded with two Dalaran cooking medals and a small spice bag.
Dalaran cooking medals are the exclusive currency for level 80 cooking majors. They are used to exchange for various cooking drawings. Among them, the fish feast with the highest gain attribute can be exchanged for five medals. After fully eating, it can provide 80 attack points and 46 spell points. Strength and 40 points of stamina can be said to be necessary materials for the team to open up wasteland. The banquet must reach a certain level in the cooking profession before it can be placed. Therefore, even if the banquet can be purchased from the auction house, it will be ineffective without learning cooking. This also forces many players to not Not learning cooking skills.
In addition, all cooking learned through blueprints must consume a new material - Northland spices. This item can only be exchanged for currency for cooking daily rewards. One medal can be exchanged for 10. Small spice bags for daily rewards can also be issued. 4-8 Northland spices. Since they cannot be produced in large quantities, Northland spices are very scarce in the early stage. Fortunately, this item can be traded. Therefore, in the early stage of the WLK version, there are many land reclamation teams and cooking players. You can also make money by selling Northland spices. It's a lot of gold. The sooner you reach the level, the faster you can enjoy the cooking bonuses. Especially for players who can exchange for banquet recipes in the early stage, it is not easy to earn gold.
Finally, there is a very user-friendly change to the cooking profession. The basic campfire required for level 80 cooking is no longer a crafting item, but has been changed to a skill of the cooking profession. It can make a fire directly without materials, and Dalaran's cooking It can be picked up daily at level 70, so players can start cooking in advance on the way to upgrade. Each task also gives 15,000 experience points and 150 Kirin Tor reputation points. By the way, players can stock up on Arctic spices in advance. Then prepare for cooking.
