I'm stuck at cooking 275 =(Follow

Hey gang,

I'm in a bit of a dilema. I'm stuck at 275 skill lvl for my cooking and don't know what to do. A guildee told me about a quest in Silithis to get a recipe or something that will raise my lvl to 300. But i Don't know where to start. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Happy Holidays,
Ron

Happy Saturnalia!

If you look to the left and down a bit, there's the tradeskills section of the Allakhazam WoW menu bar. Selecting Tradeskills by trade and then cooking would give you this page, where you can see all the recipes you can make.

At 275, you'll be looking for mightfish or something similar. I hope you've got your fishing skill suitably high. Of course, there are other options if you look hard enough.

Do you have some guildies, i.e., warlocks and pallies, who need to run Dire Maul for their epic mount quests? The boss at the end of Dire Maul East drops a recipe that will let you skill up to 300 cooking.

The primary ingredient can be picked up off the ground from pods located throughout the instance. I think it's the only non-fishing recipe that will help you, as I'm pretty sure the Silithus recipe quest requires 285 skill to start.

I was lucky enough to have my fishing around 300 when I went to finish leveling up cooking. I went out to ashazra (sp?) and got a few stacks of fish and cooked those badboys.

I suggest that you go to your auction house, search for high level fish on the market (such as Golden Darter/Golden Fish Sticks), and send mail to the person who is selling them. Hire them to fish a stack of Whitescale Salmon for you--offer them as much gold as they're charging for their other fish.

Get the Lobster Stew recipe for cooking Darkclaw Lobsters. I don't remember where you get this recipe....from a vendor somewhere, you'll have to look it up. These lobsters can only be fished in a certian part of Azshara, and you have to have fishing skill of about 350 (or 250 with a +100 fish attractor or something like that) to even start to fish there. On my server, they sell in AH for about 1g each. So if you can fish them yourself, you can level your cooking, level your fishing, and make some money in the process (if they sell that well on your server).

Currently cooking is a real pain or opportunity depending on how you look at it.

@275 everything goes grey except MightFish, Darkclaw Lobster and the tubers. Once you get to 285 you can do the quest in Silithis for the worm meat but you still have 10 points you have to cover somehow. Fishing is the easiest way.

Blizzard has said that the nerf to cooking was not intended and they will add new recipes to cover the gap, but it will be part of the next big patch not a patch just to fix cooking.

So learn to fish. Get fishing to 290+. Buy a stay of +75 skill lures and head to Azshara so catch Darkclaw lobsters outside of ScaleBeards cave. Raise you cooking. Sell the other lobster for tons of cash to a captive market.
PROFIT

So far I have made 2k+ on Darkclaw Lobsters in the last month.

Also although it's time consuming and boring, fishing is worth leveling because once you get to Outland you can catch some nice profit-making fish like Golden Darters (+heal), Icefin Bluefish (+spelldmg), Mudfish (+agil) and of course Furious Crawdad -- and sell these either raw or cooked for a nice bit of cash on the side. In addition, since we know that there is going to be an NPC race in WotLK that is somewhat fishing-focused, it's a good bet that this race will have some nice things that you'll need fishing to benefit from. So all around although it's time consuming to do, leveling fishing is quite worthwhile.
