World of Warcraft Dragonflight cooking leveling guide: How to level up cooking skills

Get those pots boiling.

World of Warcraft Dragonflight brought with it interesting changes when it came to leveling up professions. Cooking, and other professions, can’t be leveled up to the max as quickly as in previous expansions.

You will be able to reach only skill 50/100 when cooking with recipes learned from the trainer. To get to 100/100 in the kitchen, you will have to farm renown, loot recipes, or complete certain quests that will give you new recipes.

Best ways to level up cooking

If you are thinking of really mastering the cooking and getting to your goal as fast as possible we suggest picking the Pandaren race for your character as it has +5 skill points towards Cooking. Now, the catch with increasing Cooking skill in Dragonflight is that you first need to craft items that will grant you skill points. Make sure to craft diverse items to get the most Knowledge Points as you’re leveling up Cooking.

However, to get to be the ultimate WoW cook and max out your cooking skill you will need to search for all recipes and that’s the tricky part. Some recipes are sold by vendors, some are discovered when crafting basic recipes while others require you to have renown or simply look for them while on quests.

For example, these are some great recipes and how to find them:

  • Filet of Fangs is made with Draconic Recipe in a Bottle gained as a drop when fishing.
  • Seamoth Surprise is made with Draconic Recipe in a Bottle gained as a drop when fishing.
  • Braised Buffalon Brisket will be acquired when crafting Charred Hornswog Steaks.
  • Thrice-Spiced Mammoth Kabob is gained as a drop from an Honoring Our Ancestors quest.
  • Fated Fortune Cookie is gained as Drop from Fated Fortune Card

In the end, cooking offers you a great opportunity to take a couple of poor-quality ingredients and create a dish that will offer great buffs.
