World of Warcraft Cooking Guide

You are almost to 450! The rest of this guide will get you there. Keep in mind that if you are buying the materials needed to level your cooking it can get costly. I would recommend looking at this Gold Guide to help fund your Cooking Leveling.

350 - 450

Go to Northrend and learn Cooking Grand Master.

• 350 - 365

  Get the Northern Cooking quest and complete it. It requires 4 Chilled Meat. Completing this quest will teach you how to create [Northern Stew]

  20 x [Northern Stew] - 20 [Chilled Meat]

• 365 - 375

  The Cooking trainer will teach you a lot of recipes which will go green at 382 skill and gray at 415 skill. Any of these recipes are good for skilling up Cooking. I recommend Rhino Dogs if you want to farm the materials. There are a lot of Rhinos around Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, and they respawn really quickly. If you want to buy the materials, you should check the prices for Rhino Dogs, Worm Meat and Fangtooth Herring. These are usually the cheapest ones.

  13 x [Rhino Dogs] - 13 [Rhino Meat]

• 375 - 400
  Making one Kungaloosh costs 66 silver, so if you find out that Rhino Dogs, Worm Meat or Fangtooth Herring are cheaper than that, buy those instead.

  You have to finish a quest chain first. It starts with the quest called Some Make Lemonade, Some Make Liquor and ends with The Taste Test. After you completed the quest chain, go to Dalaran and find the Washed-Up Mage, he is in the In the underbelly (sewers). He will teach you how to make [Kungaloosh]. After that, go to the Dalaran Fruit Vendor and you can just buy the materials from him.

• 400 - 425

  Every cooking recipe beyond this point will be purchased with [Dalaran Cooking Awards], which are obtained by completing the daily cooking quest given by Katherine Lee (Alliance) or Awilo Lon'gomba (Horde). And you're going to need them and a ton of Northern Spices to level past 425 skill.

  You should cook the recipe that you will use for raiding. Choose one recipe from these, and make that until you reach 425. The recipes are sold by Derek Odds (Alliance) and Misensi (Horde).

• 425 - 450

  [Gigantic Feast] or [Small Feast]. Both recipes are sold by the NPCs mentioned above.

How to Make Money Cooking

Although cooking can seem like a generally useless skill, it’s what you cook that makes a difference. You will need to focus on foods that carry Buff points. Other players need this food to increase their health and energy points, so once you have mastered the skill you can start making these items and then selling them in the auction house.

For some of the better recipes, you will also need to master fishing, but we’ll focus on the ones that you can do without having to learn this skill in addition. Mok’Nathal shortribs are very popular and will quickly restore a player’s health. These can earn 1 gold piece for each set, so you can quickly make a lot of gold once they’re cooked. Here’s how to do it fast. Go to the Blade’s Edge Mountains and look for the Raptors. Although they usually just drop leather, a few will drop the necessary item for the shortribs. Pick these up and keep grinding away. It’s pretty easy to earn around 33 gold pieces an hour if you really focus.

Warp Burgers are also very expensive and sell for about 1 gold piece each. To get the ingredients for these, you’ll need to go to Terrokar Forest and kill Warp Hunters. These are pretty easy to kill and they frequently drop Warped Meat. It’s very easy to make 50 gold pieces an hour using this tip.

It’s also a good idea to pay attention to the seasons in the game. For example, during Christmas, there are quests that will require players to have Egg Nog. If you’re paying attention, you can easily sell Egg Nog for at least one gold piece each and if players are really desperate, you can easily make more money. For this recipe, you will need one small egg, one cold milk, holiday liquor and holiday spices. These can all be purchased for a nominal sum from a reagent vendor.

Other Ways to Make Money with Cooking

If you prefer not to grind or you don’t have enough time, it’s easy enough to purchase what you need from Reagent Vendors or the auction house in the game. While this does require some extra cash and your profit margin is smaller, many players prefer to take this route simply because it is quicker.

Daily Cooking Quests

These are newer quests that were introduced recently into the game. They can be a lot of fun, but you’ll need to have a cooking skill of at least 275 to take part in most of them. The good news is that the rewards are quite high. Some quests will award you a barrel of fish or an entire crate of meat, so you can easily start cooking these items to increase your profit margin. You’ll also get more recipes by completing these quests, so it’s a good idea to try at least a few.
