Easy gold from Cooking

[shaman666]

This is a lot of common sense, but here it comes:

It seems not a lot of people on a lot of servers are caring about cooking and the cooking dailies. So, it's an very good opportunity to become rich.
The cooking recipes sold for the Cooking Awards are much better than the trained ones, and the mats are easy (usually common meat (sometimes x2 of it) and 1 northern spice, which you'll have plenty if you do the daily everyday)

If you create an stack of a powerful food, you can sell it for like 150-200g, and the cost for that? 5 minutes of daily quest inside Dalaran

Some extra tips:

- if you have another cooking alt, bring him to dalaran to make the daily and send the Northern Spices to your main cook, as they're not BoP

- get the recipes that create good raid-spec buffs, like Rhinolicious Wyrmstake, which tanks love, and Spicy Fried Herring, for healers and casters in general (also you must be a fisherman)


I've been selling Spicy Blue Nettlefish for 200g/stack, and they go quick, and you can find a LOT of nettlefish in Sholazar Basin


Have fun with your secondary skill ;D
It's giving me far more profit than my primaries

Yup thats what i'm doing.

It is retarded how many people have never leveled fishing and cooking. My entire bankroll since the xpac has come from food and raw fish.

Good guide but really the spice is what ruins it for me. I have enough for about one stack but that's about it.

If you keep doing the daily cooking quest, you can eventually turn in the cooking awards for more spice too (10 per award)

Exactly what i´ve been doing for ages already.
Always fished for Spicy Crawdad´s in TBC and sold them for 60-70g each stack
Made a fortune out of it while fishing for that super duper rare pet, which i finally got
