Allows a cook to make basic recipes. Requires meat from beasts and fire to make food.

How it works

Cooking is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trade Skill (effect type 47).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 118, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 3. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Cooking is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Trade Skill effect.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

The game client stores 29 separate Spell records named "Cooking". This page is record #3413. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
