2010 - 7 - 22

If you are looking for a World of Warcraft profession that offers you an opportunity to earn a decent amount of gold then consider the cooking profession. This much under valued trade offers you the opportunity to make cooking recipes, much needed by other players, in return for money from sales of your finished recipes at the Auction house.

Food is always in demand by all Alliance and Horde characters, in order to replace energy loss and increase health points. The benefits should be clear to see.

The simplest and fastest way to level up through the WoW Cooking profession is to purchase the basic ingredients for your recipes. This is much simpler than grinding through the levels.

Xmas Is A Good Time To Increase Your Gold Reserves

Why not take advantage of the cold Christmas period to enhance your reserves of gold by making the Egg Nog recipe and selling it in the Auction House, in return for 1g per serving.

The quickest and easiest way to get hold of the ingredients needed to make Egg Nog i.e. holiday spices, one cold milk, one small egg and holiday liquor, is to buy them from a merchant.

Grinding Is A Good Way To Earn Gold

Grinding is a great way to earn gold in WoW, but needs time and patience. You can easily make 30 Gold pieces per hour by grinding away at raptors in Mok'Nathal Village, found to the east of Blade's Edge Mountains.

The meat from the raptors can be used to cook Mok'Nathal Shortribs, a much needed recipe that increases spirit levels, stamina levels and health points. This popular recipe is always needed by other WoW gamers.

If you are looking to make 50 gold/hour and you have the World of Warcraft Burning Crusade release then why not kill the Warped Hunters, which can be found residing east of Nagrand in Terokkar Forest. They are easily killed and are an easy way to increase your gold. Their flesh is used to make the Warp Burger dish.

The introduction of the TBC relieved some of the tediousness from grinding and questing, associated with the first Warcraft game, as instead of obtaining a single item from grinding you could now receive many goods in one go. A barrel of fish or a crate of meat, are examples.
