cooking is a nice skill for hunters. Throw in fishing to power level it cooking the fish. Many fish recipes are inexpensive vendor buys.
No need to pay for AH markup usually. Unless one really hates that extra 5 minute walk.
Noting you will do that walk at some point anyway for a flight master. you can do it now. Or you can do it later. Its still getting done regardless.
Even if pet can’t eat fish…you zoom to the levels to cook the meat it likes.
It saves money in time. Mine is in ashenvale so its deer and bear for dinner. and spiders, that counts as meat too. Spider…the other other white meat lol.
Pets can eat raw meat too, its just less effective is all.
