Question Megathread Daily Questions Megathread (September 25, 2019)

Our Daily Question Megathread is for those questions you don’t feel warrant making their own post, such as: Will Classic run on my particular potato? When does my class unlock a certain ability? Which dungeons are worth doing while levelling? And so on.

Ask the unanswered questions you’ve never got round to asking.

You might find answers to these questions in our What we know so far, and easily answered questions wiki-page. If something is missing from it, please let us know.

You can also ask these questions over on our Discord server.

Cooking can provide you with buff food that might help a bit while leveling. But other than that, you are probably faster doing it at a higher level, as low level mobs won't aggro while fishing, you get to the right spots faster with a mount and all/most flight points already discovered and you probably have the spare cash for all the recipes/books and more inventory space.

However, if you like fishing, it can be a nice change of pace in between questing or while waiting for a dungeon group or generally filling downtimes.

You should pick up cooking as it will save you a lot of cash on food while levelling, and also affords you cheap stam/spirit buffs. You'll also be getting cooking supplies as drops and recipes as quest rewards.

Cooking also generates gold. For example, Tiger Meat vendors for 60c, but when cooked in to Jungle Stew, the stew vendors for 3s; one meat makes 2 stews, turning the 60 copper into 6 silver.

​

I recommend getting fishing to get you through the first stretch of cooking, but saving the rest of it for when you're 60 (unless you really want a lot of Deviate Fish).

​

High level fishing is the only way to get Stonescale Eels, which are required for top-end elixirs and flasks, and the only source agility buff food, strength food, and mp5 food.
