In Dragonflight, Blizzard Entertainment reworked the entire profession system to increase its importance and value in the end game. So now, there are a ton of high-quality recipes and goods locked behind different Renowns and reputations on the Dragon Isles, especially for secondary professions. Although the process of leveling your profession is now, to an extent, more complex and time-consuming than ever before, it has also never been more rewarding to have rare recipes.
Cooking is one of the World of Warcraft’s professions that hasn’t changed much since coming into Dragonflight. Unlike primary professions that now have item quality, recipe difficulty, and profession specializations, Cooking is still the same old profession that uses the old leveling system—from one to 100. The only problem Cooking currently has is that is incredibly grindy and you have to get lucky with drops to level it up to max. Once you reach max level, it’s smooth sailing from there on.
No matter if you’re stuck at level 50 of Cooking or if you just took up Cooking, here’s a full guide on how to level up Cooking in Dragonflight—from Cooking trainers to how to level the last couple of levels that might contribute to your premature hair loss.

How to level Cooking in WoW Dragonflight
The recipes for the first 50 levels can be learned from Cooking Trainers. For Fated Fortune Cookie, you’ll need to either buy Fated Fortune Cards from the auction house or craft them with Inscription and roll them. The drop chance isn’t high, but it’s your best bet compared to other recipes.
For Timely Demise, you’ll need to get a drop from Fishing called Draconic Recipe in a Bottle, which has a chance to drop the recipe for Timely Demise. If you plan on finding this recipe while Fishing, it’s highly advised you unlock Fishing Holes (Iskaara Tuskarr Renown four) and get Draconium Fisherfriend or Khaz’gorite Fisherfriend from the auction house or Crafting Orders to increase your Perception.
You can also get this by turning in 15 Copper Coins of the Isles for one Silver Coin of the Isles and buying Weighted Sac of Swog Treasures or exchanging five Silver Coins for one Gold Coin to open Immaculate Sac of Swog Treasures. Draconic Recipe in a Bottle may contain other fish-based recipes that you can use to level up Cooking like Filet of Fangs or Salt-Baked Fishcake. But it’s most likely to get Timely Demise the first time you open Draconic Recipe in a Bottle.
- one to five – Cook five Twice-Baked Potato
- five to 15 – Cook 10 Pebbled Rock Salt
- 15 to 25 – Cook 10 Probably Protein
- 25 to 40 – Cook 15 Hopefully Healthy
- 40 to 50 – Cook 10 Salted Meat Fish
- 50 to 90 – Cook 40 Fated Fortune Cookie
- 90 to 100 – Cook 10 Timely Demise
