Patch 7.3 Changes

Professions are getting an update in Patch 7.3.

Crystalline Campfire - a new campfire toy from Argussian Reach. Argus rares have a small chance to drop Wyrmtongue Cache of Supplies which can contain cooking reagents.

In Patch 7.1, Cooking Fire received a visual update.

Learning Cooking in Legion

To learn Cooking in Legion, talk to Katherine Lee or Awilo Longomba at your faction's kitchen in Legion Dalaran. Upon level-up, you can start collecting Legion Recipes in the world. Many Legion Recipes do not provide many skillups, so it's recommended to acquire The Joy of Draenor Cooking and craft Grilled Saberfish and Saberfish Broth to reach 600. Alternatively, you can start with Pandaria Cooking recipes from Sungshin Ironpaw.

Learning Recipes

As you get and learn Legion recipes, you will attract the attention of Nomi, the Pandaria chef who has grown from Mists of Pandaria. Nomi appears in the quests:

The Prodigal Sous Chef: Here, you are sent to find him in Dalaran. A Good Recipe List: You must learn 6 Legion Cooking recipes, which are typically from quests in dynamic zones (make sure these are easy to pick up!): RecipeQuest Recipe: Salt and Pepper ShankIm Not Lion! Recipe: Dried Mackerel StripsSpicing Things Up Recipe: Fighter ChowMorale Booster Recipe: Deep-Fried MossgillShriek No More Recipe: Faronaar FizzThe Magister of Mixology Recipe: Pickled StormrayA Heavy Burden Recipe: Barracuda MrglgaghMurlocs: The Next Generation

Once you have 6 recipes, you can work on Opening the Test Kitchen. Pick up Nomis Silver Mackerel from a nearby barrel, click on Nomi, and then select the option to start the Work Order. This Order will complete very quickly, and you will receive Recipe: Dried Mackerel Strips.

You are now able to start Work Orders for any type of Legion meat or fish you possess. Each Work Order lasts 4 hours. Creating a Work Order with a specific ingredient has a chance to teach you a recipe that uses that ingredient. In Version 7.1, Nomi will refund you one piece of meat when the order is complete.
