Last updated on February 11, 2026 by MMOJUGG Team    |     Game: WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Guide     |     Tags: TBC Classic Anniversary Professions

With the Dark Portal opened on February 5th in TBC Anniversary, Phase 1 raids are live—no feasts means every raider stacks personal food buffs, spiking AH prices sky-high. Cooking explodes as a gold farm: self-supply stats and flip raid packs. In this fresh economy, which meat route dominates Phase 1 farming?

On Anniversary servers, these cookbooks often sell out or the vendors are camped. Naka in Zangarmarsh (/way 78.6 63.0) is a neutral alternative that many players forget, providing a quieter buying spot. On Phase 1 Anniversary servers, cookbooks sell out fast—vendors camped. Naka in Cenarion Refuge, Zangarmarsh (/way 78.6 63.0) is a neutral alt many forget.

Streamlined 300-375 Leveling Paths

You can choose between a meat-heavy route (faster if you are already out skinning/questing) or a fish-based route. Meat is generally favored by raiders for Attack Power (AP) buffs.

If you have Fishing, you can substitute the 350-375 stretch with Spicy Crawdad (requires Furious Crawdad), which is the premier Stamina food for tanks. In Phase 1, sub 350-375 with Fishing Spicy Crawdad (Furious Crawdad) for tank Sta BiS.

Cooking Dailies: The 375+ Goldmine

Once you hit level 70, visit The Rokk in Shattrath (/way 61.6 14.8) for daily cooking quests. These are essential for obtaining rare recipes like Stormchops and Kibler's Bits.

  • Rewards: Choose the Barrel of Fish or Crate of Meat.

  • Recipes: Barrels yield Skullfish Soup (Spell Crit), while Crates yield Spicy Hot Talbuk (Hit Rating).

Always prioritize the Barrel of Fish first. The caster-centric recipes (Spell Power/Crit) usually have a much higher resale value on raid nights.

WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Cooking FAQs

How do I acquire the Master Cookbook in TBC Classic Anniversary?

Purchase from Gaston (Alliance, Honor Hold /way 54.0 63.6), Baxter (Horde, Thrallmar /way 56.0 37.0), or Naka (Neutral, Cenarion Hold /way 78.6 63.0) for 3 gold. It requires 300 skill from Classic. The book auto-teaches the skill; there is no quest involved.

What is the cheapest 300-375 leveling path?

The meat route is generally cheapest: 25 Ravager Flesh25 Clefthoof/Warped Flesh25 Serpent Flesh/Raptor Ribs. If you fish, using Feltail or Bluefish can save you roughly 50-100 gold in materials from the Auction House.

When can I start Cooking Dailies and what level is required?

You must be Level 70 to pick up the dailies from The Rokk in Shattrath. There are four rotating quests. The rewards are non-soulbound, meaning you can sell the rare recipe results if you don't need them.

What are the best caster raid foods?

Blackened Basilisk, Poached Bluefish, and Crunchy Serpent all provide +23 Spell Power. For maximum DPS, Skullfish Soup (+20 Spell Crit) is considered the best alternative for specific builds.

How does Cooking make gold in TBC Anniversary?

Since there are no communal feasts, every raider needs 2-3 individual food buffs per raid. Selling "Raid Packs" (stacks of 20 SP or AP foods) on Tuesday nights can net 30-60g profit per stack during the early phases of the game.

Is Fishing required for Cooking?

It is highly recommended but not mandatory. Fishing provides the materials for Golden Fish Sticks (Healer BiS) and Spicy Crawdad (Tank BiS), which are often the most expensive foods on the Auction House.
