The Rokk "Can you smell what The Rokk is cooking?!" It's a nice Dwayne Johnson reference from his wrestling era.

Fun Fact : Nomi gives the idea to Sylvanas to burn down the Teldrassil!

[@andreaghiretti8189]

Nomi is found to have joined the horde in the vulpera recruitment questline in BFA. Coincidence? I think not.

[@javelinmaster2]

You thought that Ragnaros was killed for good in the Firelands? You are wrong! Ragnaros reincarnated as Nomi! BY FIRE BE PURGED!

In WoW classic there were also two robot vendors in desolace that sold some faction specific vanilla recipes

The half hill market and farm was my favorite part of WoW. I love that there was the different ways and NPCs for it.. from someone who started in BC.

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

Same here, when i unlocked the possibilty of setting my Hearthstone at the farm, it was my home for the entirety of MoP. It was such a neat idea and basically the prototype for player housing. I also miss the cooking dailys, they add a lot to worldbuilding.

[@shaleenthepunk8568]

Tillers was the first reputation I ground to Exalted on my own as a twelve-year-old that had been playing around on my mom's account for several years. At the time, I would wake up at five-thirty in the morning to pick up the crops and get a head start on the dailies, as the dailies reset at six in the morning for me back then, and then get ready for school. As much as I like Classic and its upcoming TBC incarnation nowadays, I have a soft spot for MoP even now. My least favorite daily from Tillers was the Kunzen Hunter Chief because I didn't figure out how mot to get knocked off the mountain for a while. (Also hated the saurok killing one for the Anglers...I'd often get swarmed and I'd die with my crappy questing greens.)

[@nimrath]

I love the rate of content you put out! All of it top notch!

[@andrewshandle]

In Vanilla/Classic it definitely did suck to be Horde for cooking at the start, but those two Raptor recipes in Arathi for the Omelettes and Raptor Flesh made it super easy to power level through the mid-high levels of cooking while doing some quests. Oh, and Dragon's Breath Chili was also a fun recipe in Vanilla that might be worth a mention.

[@dodgykebaab]

Surprised you didn’t say how in Alpha you had to spend SP at the cooking trainer to learn skills. So you had to decide if you wanted to use SP on professions or combat abilities.

[@hirumaredx]

lol that was for all professions if I remember correctly

[@dodgykebaab]

@@hirumaredx Correct it was. But I think it's an important part of the mechanics of Alpha because there is the choice on where to use your SP

someone needs to ask a Blizz dev in an interview why the alliance had more cooking recipes than the horde. I'd be keen to hear their response.

I just miss making a fortune on fortune cookies

[@hirumaredx]

Yeah those were great, but that was inscription. If I ever do a video on scribes I'll 100% mention those

[@troodon1096]

@@hirumaredx It required both cooking and inscription to make a fortune cookie. Inscription to make the mysterious fortune, and cooking to make them into cookies (that would as food did, restore some health, but then give you the fortune you baked inside of it).

One of the best creators on the site, love the content!

[@jeffagain7516]

I seem to recall that as a Hunter (in Vanilla), the types of foods you fed your pet would increase their happiness faster (and I think also lasted longer), so a high recipe cooked meat worked better than say, a low level raw meat. Great for when training a new pet up to friendly status. :)

[@johnpotsch7349]

Remember trying to solo the elite chimeras for the kick'n chops recipe. I learned pretty fast that I needed a group.

[@Jackpkmn]

The problem with crispy bacon is that the bacon was 10x more expensive than just using another food buff item, and it didn't allow your food to persist through death so bye bye 6hr food buff.

[@DavidHernandez-vl2cj]

I think Kibler´s bits used to give your pet a bonus in attack power during the tbc days

[@soundparticle1498]

Your number one fan here!!! I wonder if you read/listened to that short good read Contagious! As always I love your stuff!!

[@HungryDwarves]

I chose the cooking profession because i love the ideas of so many recipes they have❤️✌️😊

[@xpuc70]

I think it needs some love in retail

[@arforafro5523]

Its really barebones, no multirank recipes, no flavor items, no quests. It's just your way of getting your food buffs for raiding and thats it, also hate the vendor ingredients that just bloat your inventory.

[@Dalei]

Great vid, i need an history of each zone in azeroth now uwu

[@WhiteLama]

Man, I remember making sooo much gold in WotLK by just grabbing all the materials to get max cooking and selling the profession to people. I had every single recipe but Thistle Tea and it annoyed me to no end that I didn’t grab it before it went rogue only.

[@mudshrooze]

I find it fun and relaxing with both the sounds of cooking and the big feasts you can make

[@Nilllan]

LOVE the history of wow series. Its so good!!

[@ob1quixote]

The “Mech-Dowels ‘Big Mech’” is not from McDonald's, but references the Big Mick from McDowell's. McDonald's has the Golden Arches. McDowell's has the Golden Arcs. Both sandwiches have two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions, but the Big Mac buns have sesame seeds. McDowell's buns have no seeds.

[@devilfruit3415]

I've been wanting this video since you started the "history of in wow" series

[@dima10656]

I recently leveled a night elf to level 5 to get their cooking recipe for spider meat, and then traveled to Booty Bay to transfer it to my horde character. I’ve accidentally accumulated a lot of low level spider parts for a couple of bronze coins, so I decided, why not level cooking the hard way.

I feel like the food that gives you a chance to electrify enemies that hit you will be big for paladin 1 pull

Yay for early bird video. I love cooking.

[@borrisg4972]

In Vanilla, Dig Rat Stew and Crispy Lizard Tails are the best for vending. Both vend for 20-25s a stack, and each craft creates 2 food. Dig Rat sells for 1c, or 10c for 10, or 20s+ for cooking 10 raw ones. Lizard Tails need a 40c Spice, but still ends up being 25s for 10 since it turns into a stack of 20. Both are in the Barrens. The Thunderlizards for the Tails are right next to Camp T. The Dig Rats are basically an enhanced critter in Bael Modan. Extremely easy to farm at very low levels.

[@nikolaradoja1068]

Ah, would be much better if u mentioned that u can get pet Lil' Leftovers from cooking Dreanor food too. Great video!

[@zzxxccvv01]

Let's be honest, the BFA change WAS needed. At that point there is too many levels and expansions to level through a profession. I don't think someone would voluntarily sit there and level a profession from 1-950 or something(2 expansions post legion cap)

[@Tucher97]

Fish is one of those professions that is pretty useless by itself without cooking, but fishign and cooking at like the two professions that go hand in hand.

[@ValensBellator]

Lol vanilla always feels like Blizzard spent ages on the allied zones and progressions and so forth, then realized they had only a couple months left and just threw the horde together last second 😂

I'm confused on the cheese required for clamette surprise quest in tanaris. When you look online, I've seen it ask for fine aged cheese or alterac swiss.

[@Torsar_]

Not sure about the alliance because i never played one of those scum but the cheese you need for artisan cooking on horde is alterac swiss and not fine aged cheddar. Would make the quest way easier if it was as that cheese is a pain to find.

1:00 you got it wrong. It’s not that blizzard favoured the alliance… it was just a realistic aspect of the game. You’d expect a human to know how to a variety of recipes, but would you really expect an orc or a troll to be good at cooking…? I didn’t think so #imanallianceplayer 😂
