daily cooking questFollow

Ok....I've run the daily cooking quests for a few weeks now. I have all of the recipes which you can get off of it and have a pretty significant stockpile of buff foods in my GB. I'm thinking of dropping it from my normal rotation of daily quests. I don't really need the ingrediants at this time and I can get more money if I replace it with an SSO daily that gives some rep. I don't see any unique drops from this daily other than the recipes. Is there any reason to keep doing this that I am missing?

A lot of the time it ties in with the SSO dailies, since you are going to that zone anyway. Just pick it up and do it at the same time. Thus -

- Manalicious: do when in Netherstorm for Sunfury Plan.
- Soup for the Soul: do when doing the multiphase scanning thing in Nagrand
- Super Hot Stew: do it and then up to Bashir's Landing for Mana Cells daily

the only one I have dropped from my rotation is Revenge is Tasty, simply because I loathe Skettis. OTOH, if you are exalted with the Skyguard, you can do Skettis cooking daily, then fly Skettis -> Ogrila and then on to Bashir's Landing.

Start selling any excess stacks of food on the AH is what I would do with rewards. Do you have an alt that is still levelling cooking. Send the reward food to them to assist.

Good advice Thranathiril, But to be perfectly honest I run dailies with 3 characters every day after work (when RL doesn't take over). I have to seriously pick and choose which ones to run since I can't stay up until 3am every night. :-)

For this toon I've trimmed it down to just Skettis/Fishing/and only the SSO ones which give supplies (for those easy badges). I don't mind the Revenge is tasty one or the Mana berries...since I am relatively close to them. But the Nagrand and Blade's Edge ones are a bit out of the way. I'm trying to streamline it even further to save time so I'm thinking of dropping the cooking dailies altogether during the week..since they don't offer any rep or rare drops.

I'll still run them on the weekends when I have more time. I'm the only cook in my small guild so I get tons of ingrediants from everyone for buff foods. Pretty much have a GB tab full of buff foods. I sell the excess stacks that won't fit in the bank. I'm am not sure it's worth it to level my cooking on my alts...since this toon can cook anything they could possibly want.

THREE characters running dailies? I don't know whether to congratulate you or condole with you!

If it were me, I would simply rotate through each character in turn, running all the dailies I could on one each day. This would obviously not maximise the gold, but would minimize the monotony.

LoL. I'm trying to round up as much gold as I can for epic mounts. I figure I will burn through it in a couple weeks and then go back to questing/instances. It's not too bad since each character has a specific dailies that they do which are not available to the others. One is able to do fishing/cooking, one does Ogrilla/Skyguard stuff in Blade's Edge, etc.

I would burn out if I didn't have an end goal in mind I think. But getting my first epic flying mount through this strategy really boosted my tolerance level. Flying around at 280% instead of 60% is just amazing. Now I just turn on some tunes and see how much money I can make a night.

Well, if you're in need of the cash, any excess buff food you have could fetch a pretty penny. I would think Golden Fishsticks are always in demand. Around here, they sell for 20+ a stack. All in all, most buff food is in demand, Crawdads especially for the many tanks around; however, if you find that you gain more a of a profit by doing the other dailies, it's just a matter of preference at that point. I do much like Thran in that I'll pick up the cooking daily depending on where it lands with my "Badge Dailies," and any food that I can't personally use I either save up or throw in the guild bank to help my fellow guildies. :D

the daily cooking quest is usually a matter of convenience with the other SSO quests and part variety(different recipes).

other than that, it's really your preference. that being said, it's not really on the top of my daily quest list anymore. only when i feel like doing 18-20 dailies do i even bother with the cooking quest.

another bonus is the stat food always sells.

I used to do all the cooking dailies when I did the SSO dailies. Once I was exalted with SSO, I stopped doing the SSO dailies and stopped the cooking ones as well.

However, I still check Rokk daily and grab Soup for the Soul when it's available. Then I'll grab the SSO Nagrand daily and knock both out real quick.

Since the burial grounds are right next to the edge of the bubble spawns, the quests can be run concurrently. Mighty Fine.

I still do the cooking quest daily. my fishing is only about 100 b/c fishing is about the worst time for my to spend in wow.
when i do the cooking daily, i pick the fish barrel, i'm fully stocked on those items and i LOVE gettting the fish sticks...they sell SO well in the AH, and a few fish barrels nets me an extra 40-50G.

whenever the fishing daily is the baby croc for SW, i do that as well. its a nice suprise when i can do that, i still want that pet....

If the cooking daily fails the cost/benefit equation then drop it - I only do the cooking quests for spirit soup and revenge is tasty - the others are out of my way/not worth the effort in my book.

If you're doing dailies just for cash/rep then go with the ones that give you the best return for time/effort - if that excludes the cooking dailies then that excludes the cooking dailies - its that simple.
