Q:
How Useful is the Cooking Profession?
A:
I will point out that at 1-100 in Cooking, it gives a lot of experience and does it quickly. You can gain 2 levels easily using purchased materials and craft yourself a large supply of somewhat beneficial food.
All crafting is choice; there is so much supply out there, until it tapers off and there is a huge demand for certain high level items, right now it’s good to choose anything.
Very useful in that high level chef foods give really cool buffs and discovering recipes gives a ton of XP. Your guild will love you too.
Not useful at all if you want to make money. You’ll need a lot of ingredients from NPCs (for both money and karma) and currently the trading post is flooded with food being sold at well under the amount it costs to make them (especially once you factor in having to teleport to a specific karma vendor to buy certain base ingredients).
Then what proffestion its useful for making gold ?? someone have eny ideas?
Tailor/leatherworker. People are buying bags like crazy. All the others seem effectively worthless right now – I’d wait until the market calms down until you can count on actually making money crafting.
You could also take up weaponsmith and make boxes, which are another form of bag.
Raw materials tend to sell better than crafted gear in pretty much every craft right now. In Cooking, you can try selling dyes, but that only becomes profitable at higher levels of craft
Armorsmith makes boxes, I believe, not weaponsmithing. Unless I’ve missed something.

And even then, you’d need for example 25 blackberry, 25 beet and 25 something else (I forget off hand) to make one blue dye that was on the market for at about 13 silver this morning.
If you don’t already have those items, they’d cost you a total of 30 silver to buy from the trading post.

Exactly, most people are still leveling up their crafting skills so they are buying up mats like crazy.
Very useful. The 20/20 magic/gold find Orange Coconut bars are easy/cheap to make and great to use.
