When you decide to learn cooking, World of Warcraft also teaches you the location and source of many recipes that are required by a lot of cooks in Azeroth and who’ll pay a good amount of gold to get the recipe. Make sure you stock up on a few recipes the next time you come across a cooking vendor in a far area; there’s a big chance that majority of those who took up cooking haven’t found the NPC yet and are more than happy to add the recipes to their collection.

Dalaran Daily Cooking Quests

Since the release of the Wrath of the Lich King, players are now able to earn both gold and reputation at Kirin Tor made possible by the Dalaray Daily Cooking Quests available to both Horde and Alliance factions. These quests provide players with a daily task to earn gold and acquire Dalaran cooking awards in addition to Northern Spices.
There are 5 variations to the daily quests which is selected at random by the quest giving NPC. For Alliance players, they can visit Katherine Lee in the kitchen of the Heroes’ Welcome while the Horde players make their way to Sunreaver’s Inn and seek out the Cannibal Awilo Lon’gomb.

You can only complete one of the 5 cooking quests per day and it counts toward your 25 maximum daily complement of daily quests. You must have a minimum of 350 (grandmaster) cooking skill and at least level 65.

Dalaran Cooking Awards

Dalaran cooking awards can be achieved as a token which don’t take up bag space at all and can be redeemed for cooking recipes bought from Dalaran cooking vendors found in the major inns of both Alliance and Horde. These cooking recipes are necessary for you to move up to 425 skill in cooking to a maximum of 450.

If you want a profession that can help you make a lot gold easily, then you should take up cooking and enjoy the Dalaran cooking quests. Not only will you earn gold through these quests, you’ll also bolster your reputation with Kirin Tor. Having a good reputation with this faction can be very useful for bartering with traders found in the Dalaran Market; especially if you have an eye out for the Wholly Mammoth.

In the past, most people didn’t even give this profession a second thought, but with Burning Crusade a lot more opportunities opened up that required this skill and more people are now giving it a try. You can actually make some things that other players really need, so this is a good way to get extra gold and have fun while you’re doing it.

Getting Started

Once you decide that you want to give cooking a try, you’ll need to have fire. This requires the items: Flint and Tinder as well as Simple Wood. These are of course, pretty easy to find, so you shouldn’t need to work too hard to get them. Once you have these items, you’ll need to open up your Spellbook. All players have the ability to make the Basic Campfire, so you won’t need to worry about additional training at this point.

You’ll also find your cookbook in your Spellbook. Go ahead and open it up to see which recipes you would like to try. Please keep in mind that your fire will only last for a few minutes. Since you do have to buy wood, it’s a good idea to only start a fire when you are actually ready to start cooking. Click on the appropriate ingredients that are required for each recipe and you’ll be cooking in no time at all.

You may notice that the recipes require a few other items in order to complete. Here’s a sample recipe for Crocolisk Steak. You’ll need to have one Crocolisk Meat and one set of Mild Spices. These can be purchased from a vendor, or you can go out and buy your own.

Once you have completed your apprenticeship, you’ll be ready to move forward. Items that you do not have can be purchased from a cooking trainer, so you may need to spend a little to make a little at first. However, once you advance and go through more quests, you’ll have easy access to the items that you need for your recipes.

Advancing

When you start out, you won’t have a lot of what you need to make more advanced recipes. Here’s a quick way to progress in skill from 1 to 375 with very little effort. You’ll need to start in Ironforge. Here, you can purchase one flour and one mild spices to make your first recipe of Spiced Bread. This is very simple and will help you advance to 40. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to get 30 mild spices as well as some more wood. Now, get to Auberdine and find a Moonkin. Keep killing it until you have around 20 eggs or more. This will quickly take you to skill level 60.

You can then go south to Ashenvale where you will be able to find the Crawlers which will drop clams. Pick up as many as you can and then head back to Ironforge. Cook up the eggs that you got from the Moonkin and sell them. You’ll need to then find a cooking trainer and learn more skills so that you can cook the clams you found. By now, your skill level will be up to 130. Get the expert cookbook and you will be well on your way to getting up to 375.
