Cooking in WoW: Forever: Which Foods Already Grant XP Buffs
- 1 min read
Camping puts food in the spotlight
With the new Camping feature, professions in WoW: Forever move into the spotlight during leveling as well, not just at endgame. That is especially true for Cooking.
In the BlizzCon WoW Forever deep dive, developer Josh Greenfield (Aggrend) explained how important the campfire mechanic is. New for food buffs: on top of bonuses to Strength, Stamina, Intellect or other stats, there is an extra +5% experience gained.
Not every food has the bonus
The beta already offers plenty of food even at low levels, but not all of it has received the experience bonus yet. Some food buffs appear not to be updated with it at the moment. Whether that changes in later builds remains to be seen.
Buff types and Cooking skill in the beta
| Buff | Value range | Cooking skill |
|---|---|---|
Attack Power | +2 to +40 | 1 to 275 |
Spell Damage | +1 to +33 | 50 to 250 |
Healing Power | +2 to +44 | 25 to 275 |
Stamina | +1 to +20 | 1 to 275 |
Strength | +1 to +20 | 25 to 285 |
Agility | +1 to +20 | 25 to 275 |
Intellect | +1 to +20 | 1 to 275 |
Spirit | +1 to +20 | 25 to 250 |
Movement Speed | 15% | 75 and 275 |
Critical Strike Chance | +1% | 240 |
Armor | +150 | 225 |
Fishing | +3 to +18 | 50 to 225 |
Herbalism | +15 | 100 |
About this list
The overview shows which food buffs exist in the beta and at which Cooking skill they can be made. Which of them actually carry the experience bonus is still inconsistent in the current build. The values may change with later builds.
