Cooking Guide for Season of Discovery (SoD) Phase 5

Cooking Guide for Season of Discovery (SoD)

Phase 5 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

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 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:

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

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!)

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?

Alliance equivalent to the stew. Seems only fair to mention it, and save some unnecessary neutral AH buy at an absurd price.

From a quest that requires you to be level 30. Wow.
They even removed it from the vendor that used to sell it.
