Cooking recipes are quite the gold maker on World of Warcraft, especially now, in the Wrath Of The Lich King era.
Because of cross-faction trading, cooking recipes have always been a good source of gold on WoW. But ever since achievements came out, a lot of players have been wanting to buy the cooking recipes, and because some of these recipes are hard to find, they tend to go to the auction house to buy it.
The most efficient way to profit from cooking recipes is to set up what Jonathan Kenins calls a gold-making “pipeline” in his top-rated video gold guide for WoW – the Massive Gold Blueprint.
How do you set up a profitable pipeline? The best way is to buy cheap recipes from vendors on the alliance side, and sell them to players on the horde side for a huge gold profit. Or vice versa… buy your recipes cheap from horde vendors, and sell for massive gold in the alliance auction house.
The best recipes to start with, are the recipes that are exclusive only to either the alliance or the horde.
Some good choices of recipes you can start with are Gooey Spider Cake, Blood Sausage, Beer Basted Boar Ribs, Westfall Stew, Redridge Goulash, Goretusk Liver Pie, Murloc Fin Soup, Seasoned Wolf Kabob, and Crocolisk Gumbo. These are all from the Alliance side.
If you’re playing the horde side, look for horde only cooking recipes like Lynx Steak, Crispy Bat Wing, Scorpid Surprise, Strider Stew, Roasted Kodo Meat, Heavy Crocolisk Stew, Crispy Lizard Tail, Hot Lion Chops, and Bat Bites.
These recipes can be bought from the vendor at a really cheap price. The Crispy Bat Wing recipe for example can be bought at 25c and you can then trade it cross-faction and sell it on the alliance side for up to 50g each.
Just a couple more examples are Blood Sausage, Heavy Crocolisk Steak and Succulent Pork Ribs which you can buy from vendors at a couple of silvers each, and then turn right around and sell them for 20g or more.
You will earn a lot of gold by doing cross-faction trading with these cooking recipes.
This method of cross-faction trading is something you will normally see in the Massive Gold Blueprint system. All you have to do is buy from one side, the horde side for example, and sell it on the alliance side. In order to do this, you will need to get two accounts, or a trading partner, because the auction house won’t let players trade between characters on the same account.
The first thing you must do is check for the items on both Alliance and Horde sides. See if they’re up for sale in the auction house. If they aren’t listed in AH, then there’s a good chance for you to set up your own pipeline, as you will have no competition.
However, if you see the recipes that you have your eye on, up for sale in the auction house, check the prices and decide if it will be worth the time and effort to buy and sell this particular item. If a large profit is possible (20 gold or more) then go shopping with a bunch of empty bags and buy as much of each recipe as you can carry.
Create your auctions, and you’re set! You’re on your way to make huge amounts of gold!
