Making Gold With Cooking Dailies

Horde Inn Feast I had ignored the Cooking profession for most of my WoW “career” until recently when I decided to try and power level high enough to get the Dalaran Cooking Dailies. I used the Cooking Guide at WoW-Professions.com again to make this go as quickly as possible. At the time I didn’t really know just how lucrative this plan of action was going to be.

As far as I see it, there are two ways to clean house with Cooking: making food to sell on the Auction House to raiders or selling some of the rare cooking materials on the Auction House to the Cooking folks themselves. I’ve chosen to go the route of material selling thanks to one particular item called Northern Spices.

Northern Spices are one of the quest rewards for each Cooking daily in Dalaran. You normally get anywhere from 2 to 4 of these each day. In addition, you can turn in the Dalaran Cooking Award you receive as a quest reward to buy 10 more Spices. So you should be able to earn 12-14 Northern Spices every 24 hours.

On my server, Greymane-US, one Northern Spice goes for between four and five gold. That means everyday I can earn around 60 gold everyday selling Spices on the Auction House. That’s a pretty sweet deal when you consider that every Dalaran Cooking Daily only takes less than five minutes to complete.
