Learn Yellow Grey : Shouldn't this be changed to: learned, yellow, green, gray. ? It seems rather limited and confusing at the moment if you compare it to the values shown on wowhead and such, see [1]  - Zurgat talk / cont  14:03, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Grandmaster recipes

Grandmaster Cooking Recipes bought with Dalaran cooking awards, i.e. Firecracker Salmon and below, now seem to stay yellow all the way up to 450. I've changed the upper level of Firecracker Salmon to reflect this as I've confirmed it personally. The others will need to be confirmed. My feeling is Blizzard is trying to help people get to cooking lvl 450 prior to Cataclysm. Tunin (talk) 12:36, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

I disagree. I have 450 cooking skill and Firecracker Salmon is green for me. The only orange receipe is  [Fish Feast], and the only yellow receipes are  [Gigantic Feast] and  [Small Feast]. That seems to disprove your theory. --Tharbur (talk) 14:55, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

ok, I'll revert the previous page then. I relooked at mine and indeed Firecracker Salmon is now green. I did however get to 450 with only Firecracker Salmon, and it was changing cooking lvl's every two items or so (far faster than it should as a green). I'm led to believe it turns green closer to 450 than listed. Thanks Tharbur for your check. Tunin (talk) 17:25, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome, keep up improving wowwiki! :) --Tharbur (talk) 17:42, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Tunin is partly right; Spiced Worm Burger turned yellow for me at 425, not 402, but the threshold for Worg Tartar (another cooking award recipe) is lower, so it didn't help me level. I was hoping Wowwiki would have the correct info so I could spend my cooking awards wisely. I'll note when Spiced Worm Burger turns grey in-game for me. Trolls have more fun!

Ouch, appears there are some dead zones with no chance to level. Hopefully on December 8th we'll find out differently.

Level 450 recipes grey at 465, but new recipes are at 475 ... how to make the leap from 465 to 475? Same with the leap from 490 to 500. Yourbuddybill (talk) 21:58, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

The cooking quests (stormwind/orgrimmar) promise cooking skill increases... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:39, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

True. I guess if it is intended that we do ten days of dailies to get from 465 to 475, that would give one the max [Chef's Award] and allow purchase of 3x level 475 recipes. If this is indeed the ONLY way to cross those skill point gaps, will throttle the rate at which folks can max out Cooking profession. (oh, the 475 recipes now go to 505 not 490, excellent) Yourbuddybill (talk) 16:11, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

As of 4.0.3, Gikkix and Bale are currently removed from the game, and no other known NPC sells their recipes (at least to Horde players). Thus, the only way for Horde players to level cooking from 265-275 during the winter months (when the recipe for Hot Smoked Bass is uncookable due to it being a seasonal fish) is to do the Clamlette Magnifique quest and farm a bunch of clams. (not sure if this is intentional on Blizzard's part, since the recipes Bale sold are still available to Alliance players from the same NPC as before) Best place to do this is Alcaz Island, Dustwallow. The 59-61 elites there are a joke at 85 and nearly every mob drops a clam.Theonetruetom (talk) 18:42, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Lavascale Minestrone

Ok so on Dec 7th when Cata when live they changed this recipe to require 500 cooking. If you purchased and learned the recipe prior to that point you could still cook it, but if you did not purchase it prior to the 7th you could not do so until level 500 cooking. I am updating the Minestrone on the main page to reflect these changes, but perhaps this should be noted someplace? Trilless (talk) 19:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
