Best Stats and Gear Guide for Cooking in Dragonflight
This page details the best The War Within Cooking stats and gear, and how they can be used to maximize profession output.
Crafting Stats for Cooking in Dragonflight
All stats have their uses, but for Cooking we recommend focusing on Multicraft and Resourcefulness, to make the most out of your reagents, although Crafting Speed could also be interesting to speed up a large batch of crafts.
For more information on profession stats and gear, please refer to our dedicated guide.
Best Cooking Gear
Cooks can use two pieces of gear:
Weavercloth Chef's Hat and
Artisan Chef's Hat, made by Tailoring;
Burnt Rolling Pin and
Inscribed Rolling Pin, made by Inscription.
Quality is a big factor in the stats you can get from the gear. Green versions are bind on equip and from trainer recipes, but blue versions require specialization, faction, or renown grinding for their recipe and are bind on pickup, requiring you to submit a Crafting Order for them.
Also, remember to enchant your primary tool with
Enchant Tool - Algari Resourcefulness.
Best Cooking Consumables
Use Alchemy-crafted
Phial of Enhanced Ambidexterity, or
Phial of Bountiful Seasons
during the Winter part of the year to temporarily increase your crafting stats.
Finally, consider using optional reagents such as
Secret Sauce and
Hot Honeycomb on expensive crafts that can benefit from their
one-time boosts, as these tend to be quite cheap, especially at low ranks!
Gear Cooking Can Make For Other Professions
Cooking cannot make gear for use by other professions.
