Phase 3 of Season of Discovery brings the skill cap for professions to 300, allowing players to max out all of their crafting and gathering skills. For the Cooking profession, that means you’ll be able to cook up most of the recipes in the game.

Cooking Leveling & Trainers

Be sure to check out our SoD Cooking Leveling Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough for leveling the Cooking skill, including all trainer locations.

Learning Artisan Cooking

From Phase 3 on, players will be 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 3 Cooking Recipes

So far, no new Cooking recipes have been added in Season of Discovery, and all of the existing recipes have been left unchanged. Here are the best available foods to cook in Phase 3.

Stamina & Spirit Food

The 12 Stamina & Spirit foods from level 40 are still strong options at level 50, particularly for tanks. Those recipes are:

Item	Recipe	Materials
Heavy Kodo Stew	Recipe: Heavy Kodo Stew Sold by: Janet Hommers in Stonetalon Mountains Kireena in Desolace Vendor-Tron 1000 in Desolace	Heavy Kodo Meat x2 Soothing Spices x1 Refreshing Spring Water x1
Monster Omelet	Recipe: Monster Omelet Sold by: Malygen in Darkshore Bale in Felwood Himmik in Winterspring	Giant Egg x1 Soothing Spices x2
Spider Sausage	Taught by most Cooking Trainers	White Spider Meat x2
Spiced Chili Crab	Recipe: Spiced Chili Crab Sold by: Kriggon Talsone in Westfall Banalash in Swamp of Sorrows Uthok in Stranglethorn Vale	Tender Crab Meat x1 Hot Spices x2
Tender Wolf Steak	Recipe: Tender Wolf Steak Sold by: Truk Wildbeard in The Hinterlands Innkeeper Fizzgrimble in Tanaris Dirge Quikcleave in Tanaris	Tender Wolf Meat x1 Soothing Spices x1

Mana Food

Most mana users will want to use Nightfin Soup, which offers 8 MP5, a step up from Sagefish Delight.

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!)

Item	Recipe	Materials
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
Thistle Tea	Recipe: Thistle Tea Reward from Rogue quests: Klaven’s Tower Mission: Possible But Not Probable	Swiftthistle x1 Refreshing Spring Water x1
Savory Deviate Delight	Recipe: Savory Deviate Delight World Drop	Deviate Fish x1 Mild Spices x1

Unobtainable Recipes in Phase 3

At level 50 you’ll technically be able to craft every Cooking recipe in the game, although three recipes will still be unobtainable for other reasons. Those recipes are:

• Dirge’s Kickin’ Chimaerok Chops: The recipe for this is obtained from a level 60 quest.
• Smoked Desert Dumplings: You won’t be able to get the quest to learn this recipe until level 54.
• Runn Tum Tuber Surprise: This recipe (and the item needed to make it) is obtained from Dire Maul, which won’t be open until a later phase.

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?
