Blizzard’s Deep Dive recap promised crafted food that can grant a small experience bonus with its stats. Forever’s client files for build 70009 put a number and a list to it. A Well Fed XP Boost effect adds 5% to experience from kills, and its line is in the tooltips of 108 items: 95 foods and 13 drinks, from Spiced Wolf Meat and Westfall Stew to plain cooked fish such as Longjaw Mud Snapper.

The line is conditional in the files: the tooltip shows it only when a condition on the player holds, and the files don’t say which. Wowhead, which built its own table from the beta, notes that some food buffs had not picked up the bonus yet, so the list may still change from build to build.

Why it matters: cooked food is worth carrying while you level, not only for its stats, though the list can change before launch.
