Daily cooking in patch 2.3

I started doing the daily cooking quests yesterday when patch 2.3 went live in Europe. The quests are given out by The Rokk in Shattrath’s Lower City. So far I’ve gotten the Revenge is Tasty quest twice. Take that, Monstrous Kaliri! The hunter has become the hunted *maniacal laughter*.

The quest reward is a selection of random cooking supplies, that might include a new recipe. Today I was lucky enough to receive the Spicy Hot Tolbuk recipe. I actually expected that I would need to do the cooking dailies for a long time to get it, but either it was just dumb luck or the drop rate is not that bad after all.

What’s cooking?

The last couple of days I’ve been working on my cooking skill. Why? Glad you asked! Cooking is a profession that I haven’t been paying much attention to up until now. Some of the Burning Crusade buff foods like Ravager Dog (+ 40 Attack Power bonus) and Warp Burger (+ 20 Agility bonus) are definitely appealing, but other things were always higher up on my list of things to do.

That has changed, however, because of one particular recipe, which will become available with the soon to go live patch 2.3: Spicy Hot Talbuk (+20 Hit Rating bonus). This is the first recipe with a Hit Rating well fed bonus, which is a big deal for raiding melee classes who are lacking in the Hit Rating department. The recipe is a reward from the daily cooking quests that are coming in patch 2.3. More information is available at Kaliope’s.
