Cooking 0-60 Guide

Notes

Fishing will help you immensely in leveling cooking to 60 with minimal costs. If you dont fish you can buy a lot of fish on the AH. For some reason on Horizon people sell fish for less than NPC prices on the AH??? No idea why but hey take advantage of their stupidity. Feel free to move up to the next synth if you are ok with breaks or if the mats are harder to come by for certain items in order. 5 or less gap will give skill on breaks.

Dont buy Distilled Water on the AH. Its 4x more expensive for no reason. Dont be lazy, there is a vendor everywhere that sells them for 120g stack.
