[...] Several of you mentioned fishing as a great money-maker in the thread of our last article about farming for the Damaged Necklaces. Of course, this is true, but it’s not exactly news considering I said exactly the same thing back in January in this article about Making Gold With Cooking. [...]

It’s crazy easy to make cash off of cooking. Figure out what the raiders like, cook it, sell it. Many many guilds raid every night. The AH is constantly revolving it’s food. It’s almost guaranteed that you will sell any raid-approved food.

On a high-pop server, anyways.

Am I glad I leveled both cooking AND fishing! I didn’t even know there was a daily cooking quest in Dalaran until I read this article, thanks chaps! I have already managed to aquire 2 recipes so far and have modyfide my fishing and grinding to compliment them.

Like the post above, I too have saved all the spices for myself and am making gold on the ah with the excess food.

Thanks again guys, keep up the good work.

Woot i finely started to listen. I have 2 lvl 80′s and 2 in the 70′s range and none of them had cooking/fishing until about a week ago. So when Winter veil came I couldn’t get it the achievement. So i got off my ass and started lvling so i get get it next year (hope they have it). But now i know how to put all this time to good use and make some MAD MONEY. Thanks guys

Fishing isn’t needed for the nice cooking bonus’s. I picked up cooking back in BC days when i was bored, took about 2 days after buying all the mats. Now i got it up now problem. But after looking at the recipes fishing isnt required for any of the buffs really. I play a shadow priest so i use the +46 spell power and +40 stam which is the tender shoveltusk flank food. When i go heals i think its mammoth meat that gives me like 20mp5 and 40spirit or somthing i dont member. than there is an attack power food from rhino. so without picking up fishing i picked up food for caster dps and melee dps also healers. There is one recipe though that looks helpful to people just beginning to raid, and that is the hit rating food.

I noticed on my server though Khaz Modan that the meat sells for alot rather quickly but due to the plethera of cooks the actual food is not a hot commodity

Thanks for the heads up. I have a guild bank tab full of fish/meats/spices but for some reason didn’t think to check the ah to see what they were selling for. Though it’s a little redundant that they have different recipes that give the same well fed buff, it’s nice to have options when you go to farm the mats.

Oh, if I remember you have to be around 385 cooking and fishes are only for cooking from the recipes and are not part of the daily yet.
