A Detailed World of Warcraft Cooking Guide
One of the easiest ways to earn money in WoW is using the Cooking Profession. For me, cooking in WoW has always been one of the most satisfying professions. In this guide I expose a few strategies to use with the Cooking Profession to make the most gold possible.
Initially in World of Warcraft you start out in a beginner’s area. In this area you wont be able to start the cooking profession, you can start it when you hit level 5. Until then just knuckle down and try to save some coin to use when you start your cooking trade.
If you are ready to say goodbye to the newbie zone, talk to the guard and ask him how to get to the nearest cooking trainer. Your first recipe will be to make spice bread as you’ll find out when you talk to the trainer. Once you’ve got the recipe go and buy the required ingredients and cook the bread until its green.
When questing you’ll notice that you can sometimes find various egg’s, meat’s and other cooking ingredients. I find it useful to keep these because even if I don’t need them right away, they usually come in handy later on and save you a bit of money.
Something else to remember, when you’re talking with non player characters throughout the game, always check to see if they have any recipes for sale. You can sometimes find unique recipes here which contribute to one of your achievements which is based on how many different things you can cook.
If you find you are storing too many ingredients that you don’t use, sell a few on the Auction House – this is obviously better than abandoning them – at least you’ll make some cash.
The best way to make money with cooking is by selling items that give a stat boost. You may find these dishes difficult to make at first, but stick at it as in the end you will earn some serious gold with these meals.
When choosing your professions, I suggest that you consider fishing as a pairing with cooking. They go very well together and when used properly can make serious amounts of gold. Fishing also has achievements associated with it.
You can take the most advantage out of your cooking profession by eating the foods you make to boost your stats and restore your hit points after battles. I suggest you sell your in demand foods in the Auction House for gold and master the fishing profession as this works very well with cooking.
