With the game about to be turning 10 years old, I still can’t believe that we have yet to get any form of a Cooking in Wizards. To help you out with this, I'm going to list a few things that would make this a cool add-on that would of course use Wiz Energy. Now this is going to be somewhat of read.
Recipes
Cooking recipes can either be learned from Cooking Trainers, who can be found in the Hub areas in each world, as well as some minor area within the world, or from "Special Cookbook Pages" which may drop from monsters/bosses, be sold by vendors, or even rewards from quests.
How Does One Get Ingredients?
Wizards could buy Basic Foods from New Cooking merchants (Milk, Flour, Butter, Sugar and Eggs)
Food gained through GARDENING would give players all types of FRUITS & VEGETABLES
Monster Mobs/Bosses would drop a piece of MEAT
Lakes, Ponds and Waterfalls would offer WATER (each worlds water should be different) & Fishing would give wizards FISH.
How does a Wizard Cook the Food?
Housing Items such as a Stove, a Brazier, and or Campfire OR a special meeting place like near a Cooking Trainer.
Having a Mini-Game that let wizards tenderize, boil, chop/cut, basting, baking and stirring would be kind of fun and show the players that you really made the dish.
WHY Cook?!
Each dishes should offer a lasting benefit, in the form of a buff that can last anything from 15 minutes up to an hour (real world time included)
A new form of Pet Snack crafting
Daily Cooking Quests for rewards.
Selling Dishes would give players Gold.
Badges would of course be earned with every level a player moves up in skill.
** Maybe feeding your mount would let them travel 10% more faster.
** Maybe letting Players Give/Trade Dishes to share Buffs
Advancement
Cooking works just like crafting; in order to advance your skill, you must constantly create new dishes by obtaining recipes and ingredients. Whenever you create a dish you would be guaranteed Cooking XP.
Doing Daily Cooking Quests / Different world NPCs quests to make dishes
Though with Pet Training, Fishing, and Gardening already vying for your daily energy, it might be more interesting if the energy outputs for the other options were reduced thus freeing energy to participate in another activity.
I have to say, I like the idea! I dunno about the mount thing though, not all mounts are things you can feed... (okay, feeding a car or broomstick would be pretty funny)
I absolutely LOVE this idea. The only thing I would add is that it would be nice to have some of the recipes be able to be crafted into placeable items. It would be soooooo nice to be able to proudly display some of my crafted recipes on my tables.

I think that is an amazing idea! It is just another thing to do when you're bored! -Alia SparkleGrove
