Cooking Guide for Season of Discovery (SoD) Phase 6

Phase 6 of Season of Discovery retains the 300 skill cap introduced in Phase 3 for professions, allowing players to max out their crafting and gathering skills in case they haven’t already done so. For the Cooking profession, that means you’ll be able to cook up most of the recipes in the game.

Cooking Leveling & Trainers

Check out our Classic Cooking Guide for trainer locations, a leveling guide, and more. Everything in that guide applies to Season of Discovery. So far there have been no changes to the Cooking skill in SoD except for the level requirements for higher skill ranks (level 26 for Expert and level 41 for Artisan).

Learning Artisan Cooking

From Phase 3 onward, players were able to level their professions all the way to 300 skill, or Artisan level – the maximum skill for Vanilla WoW.

To reach 300 in the Cooking skill you’ll first need to complete the Clamlette Surprise quest to learn Artisan Cooking. This quest can be picked up from Dirge Quikcleave at Gadgetzan in Tanaris. You’ll need to collect three items to complete the quest:

• Alterac Swiss x20 – Sold by Ben Trias in Stormwind and Innkeeper Pala in Thunder Bluff, among other vendors
• Giant Egg x12 – looted from owlbeasts in The Hinterlands and rocs in Tanaris
• Zesty Clam Meat x10 – found inside Big-mouth Clam, which can be looted from many water-based enemies, including the turtles in Tanaris

When you turn these items in, you may want to buy Recipe: Tender Wolf Steak from the same NPC.

Phase 6 Cooking Recipes

Two new Cooking recipes have been added in Season of Discovery Phase 6! Both are sold by vendors in Silithus.

• Darkclaw Bisque
• Smoked Redgill

All of the existing recipes from Vanilla WoW have been left unchanged. Here are the best available foods to cook in Phase 6.

Mana, Healing, & Spell Damage Food

Strength Food

Strength users will want to use one of the following foods.

Agility Food

Agility users will look for Grilled Squid, which may be tricky to make since the fish that are used to create them are now out of season. You’ll probably be able to find some on the Auction House, but they are bound to cost a lot.

Miscellaneous Food

Dragonbreath Chili is an interesting recipe that gives you a 4% chance to breathe fire with each melee hit (so it will happen more often with faster weapon speeds). There are two other notable recipes you’ll have access to from Phase 1: Thistle Tea for Rogues and everyone’s favorite roleplay consumable, Savory Deviate Delight. (More about this one in our Deviate Fish Guide!)

Dragonbreath Chili	Recipe: Dragonbreath Chili Sold by: Helenia Olden in Dustwallow Marsh Ogg’marr in The Barrens Super-Seller 680 in Desolace	Mystery Meat x1 Small Flame Sac x1 Hot Spices x1

Don’t Forget Your Cozy Fire

Remember that you can create a Basic Campfire with the Cooking skill, which applies the Cozy Fire buff to everyone nearby for 1 minute and allows you to cook wherever you are. You don’t even have to level the skill at all to use it, but you do have to carry around Flint and Tinder and Simple Wood, which will eat up two of your precious bag slots.

It’s also the perfect compliment to your Cozy Sleeping Bag. Who doesn’t love camping by an open fire?
