Can anybody confirm the required cooking skill to do this? 200? 220? 225?

Comentario de Skosiris

The quest can obtained at level 35+ with 225 cooking skill.

Comentario de cmkennedy

The Rocs in Tanaris will drop the eggs as well, but they seem to have a pretty cruel drop rate.

Comentario de Wihl

If you're powerleveling cooking I suggest buying these on the AH, they're usually not very expensive. If there are no eggs on the AH - go farm them in Owl Wing Thicket in Winterspring. After a few hours I have about 220 Eggs :X

Comentario de 13811

Owl Wing Thicket in Winterspring confirmed 64,62.

Drop rate about 20%

Comentario de 13811

Clam Meat at 26.35 in Strangle Thornvale. Drop rate is about 10% off the naga.

Comentario de 10973

now correct me if im wrong, but you don't actually learn the ability to cook them right?

At the time of completing this quest I was a level 50 warrior. After minor deliberations concerning time and level efficiency, I determined the following mobs and path was best for someone of the mentioned level to complete this quest...

|-- Giant Egg --|
• Primitive/Savage Owlbeasts of the Hinterlands
-- Average of a 33.5% drop rate
-- https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=2928 || https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=2929

|-- Zesty Clam Meat --|
• Big-mouth Clams
-- I chose to get these from the Saltwater Snapjaw in the Hinterlands. They have approx a 40% drop rate of the Clams. The clams will always give you a Zesty Clam Meat with the possibility of a variety of pearls.
-- https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=2505 || https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=7973

|-- Alterac Swiss --|
• Upon returning to the Kalimdor continent, I chose to make a quick stop off at Freewind Post in Thousand Needles. The Innkeeper Abeqwa for the Alterac Swiss.
-- https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=11116

At this point you can continue your short flight to Gadgetzan to complete your quest. This was mearly my method. I found this method to be very time and cost efficient for my level. While considering this, there are far more possibilities of completing this quest. I recommend everyone take a few minutes to ponder the best route for your solution to this quest.
• Giant Egg
• Big-mouth Clam
• Vendors for Alterac Swiss

Comentario de Krios

you can kill mobs in tanaris for the eggs and clam meat. the rate is about 40% but that beats flying to hinterlands or felwood. dont know why it would be suggested to do that.

Comentario de Tyristrasz

For the eggs, I just go grab them from the Roks in Tanaris. They're already there, have a decent drop rate, and are pretty much everywhere. You're already in the zone, so why not?

Comentario de 6088

1) Buy the cheese wherever you want to.
2) Kill the turtles in Tanaris for the clams.
3) Kill the roks around the giant bone in Tanaris for the eggs.

4) Kill the doggies around there as well. In fact, just AOE the whole area. They drop https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=12208 and this will be needed to raise your cooking skill from 225+ to 300.

I did this at 70 (mage) just so I could level up to get the blackened basilik skill.

Comentario de PieceOfSheet

to buy the cheese in thousand needles you gotta be horde.

if youre alliance, you can buy the cheese in stormwind from Ben Trias in the cheese shop

Comentario de 6638

Assuming you fish too, while you're in Tanaris be sure to head out to Steamwheedle and pick up https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=13939

Spotted Yellowtail are the most common "trash" fish you'll find pre-Outland, this recipe will take you right up to 295 cooking or so, and Tanaris is the only place you can buy it.

Comentario de 61175

Some of the best drop rates for the Giant Eggs are off the various 'Screechers' in Felwood. If you go there to get your eggs, be sure to get the Monster Omelet (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=16110) recipe from your factions' rep while in Felwood. It is available at Lv225 Cooking, and is a recipe calling for Giant Eggs. Might as well grab a few extra while you're farming.

Comentario de 78852

You have to be lvl 45 in order to buy the cheese. I easily soloed all the mobs at 40-42 as a hunter but when I went to buy the cheese I found I had to wait until 45. I just killed the Roks in Tanaris and got the clams from killing turtles in stranglethorn. Easy quest...hope this helps.

Comentario de 83684

I did this at lvl 40. Killed nagas outside Bootybay (24,63)
Then I did a /who tanaris, /who hinterlands, /who felwood and asked the ppl there if they got some Giant Eggs. Some sent me and I could do other stuff in the mean time.
The Chees i baught at the Inn Keeper in Arathi (hammerfal).

Thats it :)

Comentario de 70938

-Giant Egg
To get these all you need to do is go to the south of tanaris and farm the birds until you get all 12 eggs.

-Zesty Clam Meat
To get these all I did was go over to the shore and farm Big-Mouth Clams off of the Surf Gliders. It shouldnt take longer than 20 minutes to get.

-Alterac Swiss
This is sold by many vendors. The closest vendor to Gadgetzan is in the Caverns of time. There is a vendor who will sell the cheese inside of the Cavern. ( https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=20080 )

Comentario de Blasterion

Roc/fire roc have a terrible spawn rate and scarce population farmed for over an hour just waiting

Comentario de Kaynos

This now give 5550xp as of 2.3

Comentario de Bury

If you need a place to cook, there's a bonfire outside the inn. It's on the left side if you're facing the inn's entrance from outside, next to Andi Lynn.

Comentario de Celice

If you are Alliance and are power-levelling fishing and cooking in parallel, you will need to do this quest once you have reached level 225 by fishing Mithril Head Trout from outside Stromgarde Keep. Before travelling to Tanaris to pick up this quest, get everything you need to complete it from The Hinterlands just around the corner:

Giant Eggs are dropped by all of the various Owlbeasts here (42-47)
Zesty Clam Meat is inside the Big-mouth Clams dropped by Gammerita and her Saltwater Snapjaw friends on the coast (48-50)
Alterac Swiss is sold by Truk Wildbeard, the bartender in Wildhammer Keep

Now you can go up the hill to the flight point at Aerie Peak and start the journey to Gadgetzan with everything already in hand!

Comentario de Suhov

If you are part of Alliance - best way to farm Zesty Clam Meat is a Yong Murk Treshers just under peer in Theramore (Dustwallow marsh). They a neutral to player and there are loads of them close to each one.

Comentario de landazzar

If you are on the quest https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=2866, make sure to kill enough naga. They'll drop the Zesty Clam Meat.

Comentario de 122417

For Gnomeregan!

I completed this quest with my lvl 40 warlock.

Farm the eggs from Rocs https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=5428 right outside Gadget. Drop rate is 35%.
Farm the zesty clam meat https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=7974 from the Nagas https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=1907 while doing the Akiris by the Bundle https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=617 quest. The zesty clam meat is in the big-mouth clams https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=7973 they drop.
Buy the Alterac Swiss https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=8932 from Ben Trias https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=4981 on the main street heading into Stormwind trade district. It's on the right-hand side as you enter the city.

Comentario de 114144

This is what I did (50 pally at the time):

- Cheese: bought from the cheese store in Stormwind. As you enter the city from the forest, it's on the right. Sign's a piece of cheese.
- Clam meat: bought it off the AH. Tried looking around for it underwater, couldn't find any, and it was cheap on the AH.
- Giant eggs: Primitive Owlbeasts in the Hinterlands. Any Owlbeast, really.

Comentario de 135848

Found a decent amount of Searing Roc that drops the Giant Egg around 48.44. They are usually around the big bones.

Comentario de 116020

if u are like me and thought there was no use for cooking and didn't lvl it untill u started raid at 70 u probally have a good amount of money... buy all the eggs and clams on the AH and cheese from the vendor and fly down complete the quest as soon as u get it...lol... the mats are always on the AH on my server.

Comentario de 17538

All the questitems can now be obtained in Taniaris, so you dont have to run all across the world for em.

- The Giant eggs, can be farmed out of Fire rocs, around the large bones in Tanaris.
- The Zesty clam meats, can be found within clams, dropped from Turtles at the coast.
- The Alterac swiss can be bought from the food and drink vendor within Caverns of time.

Total time for the quest for me ( level 61 at the time with my rogue, around 1 hour.

Hope this helps.

Comentario de 147121

I ran around the both continents as a 68 druid trying to level up my cooking! When I returned to turn everything in I am unable to complete the quest! Any ideas? Please Help!

Comentario de 118717

I suggest to buy the cheese BEFORE you get the quest so you dont have to do too much running.

Comentario de 130146

Unlike other cooking quests, you don't actually get the recipe for Clamlette Surprise, you just get 20 servings of it. Disappointing, for those who like to cook and be well-fed. The zesty clam meat isn't good for any other buff-giving recipes. It'd be nice if Blizzard would allow the recipe to be obtained or at least purchased.

Comentario de Polecat

For the record, this entire quest can be done in Tanaris. The large eggs can be obtained form the 'Fire Roc's that hang around the large skeletons in the desert. The clam meat can be gotten by beating up on the Steeljaw Snapers along the beaches (they drop clams, which when opened gives the proper clam meat), and the Swiss CAN be obtained in Tanaris. If you go to the Caverns of Time, the provisioner there stocks Alterac Swiss. No limit to the amount sold.

Comentario de Garrett

To collect the Giant Eggs I found this to be the best route: Map: Giant Egg Run

Start at Gadgetzan and head South to the giant dinosoar Skeleton and circle around it killing Fire Rocs.
When they're all dead, head directly North killing any Greater Firebirds and Rocs you see.
When you reach the mountain edge turn back to the dinosoar Skeleton by which time the Fire Rocs be back.

Took me around 5 "laps" killing 30ish to get all 12 Giant Eggs.

Comentario de 156552

I buy my cheese (Alterac swiss) in https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=4981#sells

Comentario de Thottbot

In Feralas you can get a quest called "Testing the Vessel" and for this quest, you have to hunt those Wildkin in the Hinterlands. If you get this cooking quest as well, you can knock out two birds with one stone.

Comentario de Thottbot

Another place for Zesty Clam Meat is the Swamp of Sorrows, on the coast. All of the murlocs drop clam shells, which you open and loot for Zesty Clam Meat. The murlocs drop them frequently too, so you can farm 10 in no time.

Comentario de Thottbot

Hinterlands is your One-Stop-Shop for this quest!

Buy the Swiss from the Dwarf in the back right of the compound

Kill Owlbears for Eggs

Kill turtles on the East Coast for the Clam meat. BTW, you have to loot clams off the turtles and open them to get the clam meat.

Comentario de Thottbot

Dirge Quikcleave is found within the perimeter of Gadgetzan, inside the Inn. The Inn is in the eastern part of town in the largest building, which has a big dome top.

Comentario de Thottbot

You don't have to leave Tanaris to gather the items required for completion of this quest.

zesty clam meat
Drops from the turtles at the shore of west Tanaris.

giant eggs
Drop from the rocs (birds) in Tanaris (center area). They are concentrated near the huge skeletons half burried by sand.

Alterac Swiss
As of patch 2.01 this can be bought in Caverns of Time from the NPC called Galgrom (Provisioner).

Comentario de Thottbot

Tanaris
mob: Roc, Fire ROc: 49:35, 48:45. 49:53, 44:39 Giant Egg
mob: Steeljaw Snapper: around 67:23 she give open and take Zesty Clam Meat
Freewind Post
Innkeeper 46:51 Alterac Swiss

Comentario de Thottbot

if your horde, you can go to the freewind post in thousand needle and get the alterac swiss from the innkeeper, easy and done

Comentario de Thottbot

I farmed the Giant Eggs in Tanaris. It's not a problem at all.

Most people think that if you kill a certain mob, another of that same type always respawns. That's not true. At one of the big skeletons south of Gadget, it was full of hyenas when I got there. I started grinding on the hyenas, and pretty soon it was a 50/50 mix of hyenas and fire rocs.

The hardest part was keeping the other players from killing them once they spawned.

I would say that I got about an egg every 3-4 fire rocs, and a few bubbles of XP in the process.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Zesty Meat can easily be gotten from the loch ness type mobs around the npc that gives the artisan fishing quest at Theramore Isle, a bunch of tiny islands west of the isle, they range from level 39 to 43 (young whataretheycalled drop the shells less frequently than the higher ones, got me 10 in no time and 3 to spare for something else)

Comentario de Allakhazam

Is this quest repeatable? I haven't had the chance to check it out yet. Would really like to gets me some more of this..... mmmmmm

Sooo much zesty clam meat and nothing to make with it. wtf? (well, nothing *worth* making anyway)

Comentario de Allakhazam

done @ lvl 37. bought the clam meat and eggs from auction house. bought the alterac swiss from the cheese shop in stormwind. went to gadgetzan. voila!

Comentario de Allakhazam

Completed the quest on May 15th with no problems. I did start cooking right after my cap was raised.
The Naga near Feathermoon Stronghold drop the clam meat. I ended up buying mine in the AH for a few silver. Got 10 of eggs from Owlbeasts in Hinterlands, purchased the other 2 at AH to save a trip back out there. Chesse is available in SW city at the cheese shop in the trade district (one road over from the gryp). Found later that Bartender in Windhammer Keep (Hinterlands) sells it also

Guy near the cooking trainer in IF gives the quest to go to Gadgetzan and find Dirge

Comentario de Allakhazam

i don't know if minimum level changed after patch 1.8, but i got this quest at lvl 35.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Got the Quest at level 35,

Just completed it at level 38 - reward:

20xClamlette Surprise
Cooking (allows you to go to 300 skill)
3900 exp

Comentario de Allakhazam

Does anyone know if this quest is still active? He won't give me the quest.

Lvl 47, 295 cooking.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Can get alterac swiss in the caverns of time now on both sides,, so this entire quest can be finished in zone.

Comentario de Allakhazam

45,38 in Tanaris. Lots of fire rocs spawn around the bones in this area.
For those of you without coordinates, the area is around Abyssal Sands - south of Gadgetzan.

Comentario de Allakhazam

There may be a way to prevent the cooking skill bug from happening. This is based on the following observation: When I first handed the quest in to Dirge, I checked my skills page and cooking said 225/300. The cap had gone up. I then hearthed back to IF to gather ingredients from the bank and cook there. When I began cooking at the Bronze kettle I noticed that my skill level was not increasing. When I checked my skills again it was re-capped at 225/225.

So try the following: When you first get the skill cap increase at quest hand-in, gather ingredients from the bank at Gadgetzan if you need to, but just in case I would have a few ingredients on hand at quest turn-in. Go to the nearest cooking fire to skill up at least a few skill points right away. This may prevent the cap from returning to 225 (can't say 228/225 for instance). I am kicking myself for not having tried this, as at the time the thought crossed my mind, but then I thought: the cap has increased! Surely it can't go revert to 225! Well, news flash: it can.

Try this and let me know if this helps!

Comentario de Allakhazam

Had to kill about 50 owlbeasts to get 12 eggs, not thereatest drop rate, and it was better on the 44-45 Primitives than on the 42-44 viscous ones.

Did get 3 green drops thou, and tons of vendor crap :p

Comentario de Allakhazam

Just to straighten things up: The cheese can be bought from any innkeeper in a just fairly high level area (Elwynn forest and such won't sell it), and this cheese also loots from all high-end humanoids and in huge amounts from supply crates in stratholme (but that may just be a little too high level). Oh and clams will drop from any like 35+ sea based mobs (nagas, turtles, murlocs etc.). And at last the eggs will loot from all mobs with feathers that are 20+ or something.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I realize that by saying what I am going to say.. many of you are gonna trash me and tell me Im a worthless player cause I had a hard time at this quest...

Here are the facts!
I just turned level 40 hunter. My pet is still a level 39 which means he doesnt have growl 6 yet. I am sure growl 6 would help since my cat cant keep the aggro off me. Hinterlands is not a place I should be. Everything here is lvl 42 and up. Yes there are owlbeast and yes they drop eggs.. but nothing close to what has been stated here. I need 12 eggs and after killing around 50 or so I gave up trying at 10 eggs. There are wolves EVERYWHERE which range from 42 to 45. At 40, a lvl 45 is red and HARD as heck. It is VERY hard not to get aggro from either the trolls, wolves, gryphons, etc etc...

I am not sure how all of you did this quest solo at level 35-40 but I would like to see it to believe it. Since I have been there and seen what is in store.. I am more confident to believe that some post here may have exagerated their abilities.

This is just to let those that are wanting to do this quest at level 35-40 to stay away from the hinterlands unless you have a friend that wouldnt mind helping you out.

Hopes this saves a few of you some trouble and pains in the lower extremities

Comentario de Allakhazam

Kyrenna <Cheese Vendor> for Alterac Swiss (Silvermoon ruins 47;45)
I had a pretty droprate for the Zesty Clam Meat by the dino's in the water from Dustwallow Marsh.
no i go after the eggs !

Comentario de Allakhazam

OK, from Gadget head on down the road to Steamwheedle Port and kill turtles on the beach and in the water for large clams. The drop rate is so-so, took me about 20mins to gather the clam meats.

Buy your cheese from the Inn keeper at Hammerfall VIllage in Arathi highlands.

Then go kill some owlbeasts in the Hinterlands for giant eggs. Pick up the quests from Raventusk village in the Hinterlands to kill savage Owlbeasts and Silvermane wolves and kill 2 birds with one stone.

Depending on class/level/gear I'd say this is soloable around the 42-45 area.

Good luck!

Comentario de Allakhazam

After I recieved the 20 Clamlette's and my increased skillcap I immediatly made a campfire infront of Dirge and made 4 Dragonsbreath Chilli's. This raised my skill to 229. When I Hearthed out to IF and logged out / logged in, my skill was still 229/300.

Raising your cap immediatly prevents the bug from occuring.

I was worried when the swiss was listed at 40sp each.. I thought 8gp for this quest! GAH! Actually though, you get 5 for 40 sp (36 if you have good faction) so it's much better.

Comentario de Allakhazam

.. I definitely recommend the owlbeasts in Hinterlands. The biggest advantage is that the wolves, the other mob in that area, drop Tender Wolf Meat, the recipe (Receta: chuleta de lobo tierno for which can be bought either from the questgiver or the Alliance inkeeper in Hinterlands - they can then be cooked when you hand the mats in to push you over 225.

Edited, Sep 21st 2006 at 10:11am EDT by alihahd

Comentario de Allakhazam

How come Dirge Quikcleave will have you help him MAKE the Clamlette Surprise, but he won't let you learn the recipe? It's a great recipe, I want it!

Comentario de Allakhazam

There is no need to go all over Azeroth to complete this quest. Buy your cheese from the Trias Cheese shop in Stormwind, or collect it from the Syndicate in Hillsbrad. It can also be bought from Galgrom, the provisioner in the Caverns of Time.

The eggs and clam meat can all be collected in Tanaris.

The lowest level Rocs are 41 so it will be easier to kill them as part of a group, you could collect them as you were completing other quests in the area.

The Steeljaw snappers close to Steamwheedle Port drop the clams, these are lvl42 - 43, so again you would need to kill them as part of a group if you are only level 35.

Comentario de Allakhazam

as part of reward it let me have upto 300 cooking skill which makes me happy. I been 225 forever.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Where is the swiss found

Comentario de Allakhazam

Has the 225 cap bug been sorted out yet?

Comentario de Allakhazam

Horde folks can get the cheese from the Innkeeper at Freewind post.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Yes, have your cooking ability up to 225 before even looking for this quest...

12 Giant Eggs: Get those from Rocs (buzzards) all over Tanaris. Got mine after killing 24, even 50% drop rate. Or you can choose to go to the Hinterlands and hunt the owlbeasts there.

10 Pieces of Zesty Clam Meat: Can either buy from your local AH, or go hunt for some. Believe the turtles off Tanaris coast might drop some. If not them, go to the northern tip of the Isle of Dread in Ferelas and kill the naga there. They'll drop clams that'll give you the zesty clam meat you need.

20 Pieces of Alterac Swiss: Go to the innkeeper at Freewind Post in Thousand Needles. This is the easy, and close, place for Horde to purchase it. For Alliance, it's available practically everywhere...

Comentario de Allakhazam

Any of the nagas in Stranglethorn drop the clams which contain the zesty clam meat. Murlocs in Swamp of Sorrows also drop it too.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I was about to sulk. I am lvl 31 and have maxed my cooking at 225. Thought i had to wait till lvl 40, but no! Thank you patch! Only 4 more lvls!

Comentario de Allakhazam

I just want to say you guys are great with all this information. I was lvl 225 in cooking at lvl 30, with all the info i finally made lvl 35, and completed the quest from org to gadget, recieved 975 for org and 3900 xp in gadget. On my way to completing my fishing with nat. ty for the comments posted.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Zesty Clam Meat drops off of Southern Sand Crawlers (level 40-43) on the beach South West of Booty Bay.

This was much easier for me than some of the other mobs listed that dropped the zesty clam meat. Plus there is an FP and/or boat ride to the area.

Nizzre

Comentario de Allakhazam

You can get all the ingredients from Hinterlands. Alterac swiss from vendor, Giant egg from owlbeast all arround hinterlands and zesty clam meat from the turtles near water.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I got 3900 XP and no reputation adjustments when I completed this, at level 42.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i was in Ironforge getting cooking supplies and saw the guy with the quest exclamation. he gave me the quest " i know a guy " that sent me to Quickcleave. dont know if it was necessary or not.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Maybe you can get this quest if you are lvl 35...
BUT, YOU Must be LVL 45 to buy the Cheese in the Caverns so I would say quest around and collect items till you are lvl45 or see if it is true that you can buy it in desolace

Comentario de Allakhazam

Cooking skill needs to be 225 before the quest will be offered. You can find the quest giver at the inn in Gadgetzan, Tanaris.

Comentario de Allakhazam

In order to avoid unnecessary killing, don't get the eggs from the rocs in Tanaris. According to the site's data they drop around 20-30% but it's not the case (or I am the most unlucky man on the server). Try the owlbeasts in The Hinterlands.

Comentario de Allakhazam

as a leatherworker farming for turtle scales I can tell you an average hour of killing the turtles (either side of the dock at steamwheedle) not including the results from skinning would give me about 40-50 of the zesty clam meats about 3-4g from selling vendor junk and on average 1 black pearl and 2-3 iridecent pearls per hour. find a leatherworker get them to give you the clams and you let them skin everything for turtle scales.

Comentario de Allakhazam

You no longer have to be 40 to get this quest. I just got it at 35. You still need a cooking skill of 225, though. Of course, getting it at 35 is not that wonderful, when you have to be slightly higher to get the eggs. Bah!

Comentario de Allakhazam

Just went to AH and Trias' Cheese Shop in SW and bought the hole thing. Took less than half an hour and costed just a few golds.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Everything can be got from Stormwind if Alliance, buy clams and eggs from AH and cheese from Trais Cheese...

Or if you have a high level main or alt, just use that to collect the items...

Took me like 10 minutes to get all the items from farming with my 70 lock

Comentario de Allakhazam

So I got the quest at lvl 35. Hooray.
All that does is take up a space in my quest log. Unless you want to buy everything from AH, it's pretty much impossible to get it by yourself.
My recommendation is to wait with getting the quest until you've got a realistic chance of finishing it.

Comentario de Allakhazam

All this does is take up space in your quest log.
Unless you want to buy all the ingredients, I recommend waiting until your character is high enough to have a realistic chance of defeating the things that drop them.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Finally gathered all the materials; the giant eggs are real tough because a pretty rare drop from the Tanaris rocs and you draw aggro from Hyenas and basilisks and scorpions oh my! and this is quite a challenge to deal with at S40-41. When I finally handed everything in to Dirge Quickcleave I got the leveling up graphic but I apparently am one of the lucky ones who's bugged. Stuck at 225/225. Got the clamettes though; but they alone are no way near worth all the work that goes into this quest. I am a S41 dwarf pally on Earthen Ring if that helps.

Comentario de Allakhazam

the murloc cave in swamp of sarows sw wall of zone they droped clams aprox every other kill got lotts of pearls here as well lv 43-46 mobs at the entrance lv 50 swamp talkers mixed in toward the rear

Comentario de Allakhazam

This probably won't help anyone, but hey.

Easy as a level 60. I made a comment in trade about cooking being an easy skill to level up, and someone said "lol wel if u think it so ez then u do the artsitan cookin qst". So I did. Long story short, I went from 70 Cooking to 300 after working on it and fishing for about six or seven hours straight.

Anyway, bought the cheese from Freewind Post, the Innkeeper there sells it for 36s for 5. Farmed clams off of the turtles in Hinterlands, about one in three dropped one. Then farmed the Owlbeasts, also in Hinterlands, for the eggs. About one in four dropped there.

Of course, if you're picking up this quest at 35, that isn't possible for you to do without help. The turtles are 49-51 and the owlbeasts 42-45.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I was able to buy the cheese with my lvl 25 alt in Stormwind at that Trias Cheese place.

Comentario de Allakhazam

For a fix, why couldn't they just have the final quest turn in count as a cooking skillup, so that when you complete it, you are at 226/300. Wouldn't this work the same way as cooking right after you turn in the quest?

Just a thought.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Does anyone know if the levelling bug is still an issue on getting cooking above 225 skill.

If I turn in the components for the Clamette Surprise quest, do I have to take enough food to try and level up to 300 straight away in the same zone?

Is it ok to go into one of the other huts to use the stove or should I bring wood to build my own cooking fire with?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i got the zesty clam meats at Steamwheedle in tanaris within 1 1/2 hours.
the first 9 within 1 hr. the last one alone tool 1/2 hour.
you will get some firefin snappers and few stonescale eels too.

Confirming you can buy the cheese at the innkeeper in Desolace. 40s for 5

Comentario de Allakhazam

Just thought I'd pass along that you can find the cheese on the cook at the Theramore inn - lot closer than going all the way back to Stormwind.

Comentario de Allakhazam

You can buy the Alterac Swiss from the inn keeper at Freewind Post in Thousand Needles.

Comentario de Allakhazam

the level was indeed lowered in 1.8, hit 35 and 225 just before it and couldn't get the quest so I was eagerly waiting for the patch

at 35 this quest is red, so higher level friends can help, or AH

Comentario de Allakhazam

Step 1: Get the quest
Step 2: HS to SW
Step 3: Go and get some cheese from the Trias' cheese shop
Step 4: Go to the AH and buy some eggs and some clam meat
Step 5: Make your way back to Gadgetzan about 5g worse off but with more than enough time saved to make the 5g back in what you would have spent killing turtles and birds

Comentario de Allakhazam

You can buy the Alterac Swiss from the Innkeeper in TB.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Just completed the quest the other day, got the 20 food, announcement of the new Cooking skill, even saw the graphics on me when you learn something new, and blam, skill cap didn't raise--still at 225.

Received typical response from Blizz--"Sorry for the inconveinence". *sigh*

Comentario de Allakhazam

3900 XP at Level 41 (Quest is orange)

A guildmate got me the eggs - I could only get 4 over a couple of days killing rocs in Tanaris. I bought the cheese at the Stormwind Cheesery. Took 3-4 sessions (10-20 minutes each) fishing at Steamwheedle to get the clams.

I saved all the fish from the Fishing Quest to cook after I got this done. I was a true lucky one and got the level cap increase to 300.

After my fish were all cooked, I was 287/300!

Comentario de Allakhazam

So blizzard sent me an email:
"There is one possibility, however, and that would be to unlearn the whole trade skill and start from the beginning, but even then we can not promise that it will work, since we do not know the source of this new bug yet. It is quite a lot of work involved, not to mention all those recipes lost, so think twice before attempting this solution."

Have anyone tried this? Usually you can't do the same quest twice..

Comentario de Allakhazam

Picked up most of the items (at least the eggs) before taking the quest. Here's what I did:

1) Hinterlands - get the eggs from Owlbeasts
2) Steamweedel Port - get clams from turtles
3) Stormwind - get the cheese from the cheese store

Once you lvl up to Artisan, head out of the Inn in Gadget and make a R-turn just outside the door. Go behind the buildings and there's a fire there. Just cook your animal products there to lvl up your skill. Be sure you have some available to make your Kodo Stew, Dragonbreath Chili, Turtle Bisque, etc. You will have to buy the soothing spices and hot spices in Theramore (Trade vendor in the 2-story house near the griffons).

Comentario de Allakhazam

I bought all of the eggs and some of the clam meat at the Auction House immediately upon hitting level 40. If I had to wait until I could kill things to get them I would have been about 45 or 50. Learning from other peoples unfortunate experiences. I also brought along a ton of things to cook. I was at 300 before leaving the zone, not taking any chances here. It is curious though, some of the recipes are still green. Everything should turn gray when you hit 300.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Drops from Big-Mouth Clams

Here is where you can find the mobs that drop that:

Comentario de Allakhazam

You do not need to travel to foreign and exotic places and kill or die at the hands of exotic monsters. Everything you need is in Tenaris.

12 Giant Eggs
Loc.: Abyssal Sands (48,47) look for all of the large weatherbeaten dino remains.
Dropped by: Fire Rocs; These birds drop at a rate of 1 egg per 5 or 6 kills.

10 Zesty Clams
Loc.: Steamweedle Port and Wavestrider Beach.
Dropped by: Steel Jaw Snapper and Yellow Snapper turtles; once again the drop rate is at about 1 clam per 5 or 6 kills (remember to shuck the clam since they do not stack in their shells and will quickly fill your bag slots).

20 Alterac Swiss Cheese
Loc.: Caverns of Time (64,58)
Vendor: Galgrom (Provisoner)

Save yourself time and flight money and stay in Tenaris to do this quest.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Does the Artisan cooking quest have a lvl requirement? As in does your Character have to be level 40+ to get the quest, or is it available when you cap expert cooking at 225?

Comentario de Allakhazam

I bought the clams from the AH at about 15s, and the eggs which were a little bit more expensive. Then i bought the cheese from the innkeeper at TB. Went to org to talk to the cook there, got the quest, then went to gadgetzan to get this quest Since i had everything on me i completed it.

Since i read about the 225 glitch, i brought a stack of turtle meat and soothing spices so i could make some turtle bisque....leveling my cooking past 225 so it wouldn't reset on me.

Comentario de Allakhazam

This morning i got the rest of my stuff and did the handin for this quest. It worked fine for me, got the new 300 cap and got my 20 meals. Skill ups are fine as well, already @ 250. I'm on shattered hand, not sure if it will make an difference.

Comentario de Allakhazam

The owl beasts in the hinterlands drop the eggs with good frequency.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I was succesful at finding quite a few around large skeleton remains in tanaris. the Rocs and Fire Rocs seems to be more prevelant near these.

Abyssal sands is a good place in Tanaris to find them, drop was about 1 in 3.

Comentario de Allakhazam

owlbeasts in the hinter lands drop giant eggs fast

Comentario de Allakhazam

The Alterac Swiss can also be bought in Hammerfall's Inn in Arathi.

Comentario de Allakhazam

You guys nobody cares that you are happy moving on to lvl 225-300 cooking if you wanna talk about your feelings while painting your toe nails do it in a chat room but for real.... just give them quest info MY GOD

Comentario de Allakhazam

All I read is about people sulking over having a hard time at 35 to complete this quest. Here's a thought that crossed my mind, you don't actually have to be the minimum level to complete a quest. It's hard concept to follow, but it works perfect for a speed leveler like myself (green quests = red quests in xp, green quests < red quests to complete in time).

For some help nonetheless

SPEED LEVELERS
Through your adventures you should be banking ALL of your food items that you get, no matter what they are. Turn in any quests that require food (like westfall stew and such) when needed, but any extra bank. When you reach around level 45 you should be tracking most of your hinterlands quests, at which point add "Owlbeasts" to your killing spree...see one, kill it. By the time you have finished hinterlands, you will have all your eggs, and somehow I ALWAYS seem to have 30 zesty clam meat (Giants around feathermoon doing the zap quest drop them, along with many other quest killables). Just buy your cheese, grab all your food, buy up some recipes and go for the win on passing your 225 skill.

PERFECTIONISTS
You are the type that needs to be at 100% with EVERYTHING you do AS you play. To get this quest done at 35 without help, you should have 2 professions supplying you money...go buy the materials needed from the auction house. Yes, you can fight 1 mob at a time, waste valuable time trying to kill things that are way too powerful for you, but you are only giving yourself tunnel vision. Just buy what you need, and later on when you come across those items, you can resell them on the auction house for the next perfectionist, it's called paying forward.

TWINK
You already have a high level character supplying you money to buy those blue and purple items, and now you need to level your cooking to get that +XX stam/spirit boost item for BGs. Either purchase the items required in the auction house like a perfectionist, or use your main to scrounge it up.

If anyone noticed, I think I was the only one to state that Zesty Clam Meat came from the giants around Feathermoon. The goblin at the docks gives you a zapping quest which is repeatable, kill 2 birds with 1 stone (3 birds if you do the water elemental quest with it).

Comentario de Allakhazam

Where is the best place to find zesty clam meat? I think the highest clam meat I've found is the tangy kind. There is a post here that someone had luck "fishing" for clams at steamwheedle. I fish a lot, and very rarely catch a clam ever since the fishing nerf. Has anyone else had luck finding the zesty clam meat?

Thanks!

Comentario de Allakhazam

You need to talk to the cook in Orgrimmar (sp) and she will send you to this guy to get the quest. Of course you need to be 40+ and about 225 skill level.

Comentario de Allakhazam

If you want to look at cheap and efficient ways to get the plus twelve stamina and spirit buff from food..... this is SO not the way!

If it wasn't the way to advance cooking above the temporary 225 training ceiling, the turtles and rocs would be a lot less hunted than they are at the moment!

There are several alternative types of food which give the +12 stam and spi buffs.

Hey good lookin, what you got cookin? Happy hunting, and Bon appetit.

Comentario de Allakhazam

As of the date of this post this quest is broke, i finished it 2 days ago, and my cap did not raise ot 300. I spoke to a GM, and was told Blizzard was working on a fix, but as of yet they didn't have an ETA for it, so if you are planning on doing it, you might want to wait till it works properly.
I was told that when the fix comes in everyone that has done it will automatically get their cap raised up to 300, with no further work involved, so at least that is a plus, now we just have to wait.

Comentario de Allakhazam

This is the quickest way I could find to do this quest.

1.I talked to the cook in Orgrimmar to start.
2.Fly to Crossroads then to 1k needles.
3.Buy the cheese at Inn then fly to Gadgetzan.
4.Talk to Dirge to complete quest which he then gives you this quest.
5.Kill Fire Rocs in Tanaris, Abysal Sands (they average about lvl 45 and dropped all 12 eggs in about 30 kills).
6.Run East to the docks and fish for the clams which usually give you the clam meat (sometimes pearls too).
7.Run Back to Dirge to complete the quest.

This took me about an hour or so as a lvl 44 rogue. If you know a better/faster way, please reply to this post. Happy cooking. :)

Comentario de Allakhazam

Picked this up at 41, and aquired the ingredients to turn them in at 42.

Got 3900 xp for the trouble, no faction.

Comentario de Allakhazam

As a horde:

I went to Arathi, the innkeeper sells cheese. I then went to Hinterlands, killed turtles for the clam meat, owlbeasts for the eggs.

Wrong continent, I know, but I wanted to camp out in Kargath for raids tonight.. I'll turn it all in tomorrow :)

Category: Cooking
Starts in: Tanaris

This is the quest for both factions, I believe, for Artisan Cooking.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Is there a prereq for this quest other than being lvl 40, and 225 cooking skill ?

Comentario de Allakhazam

The Naga in the southern part Stranglethorn Vale that you kill for the "Akiris By The Bundle" quest drop Zesty Clam Meat fairly often. Just while doing the Akiris quest, I got 14 Zesty Clam meat.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Turned 40. Have been killing and fishing to get the ingredients for the Clamlette Surprise so that as soon as I was 40, I would be ready for the quest. Saved the purchase of cheese for last. Skill in Cooking is 225/225, and has been for some time before turning 40. So, I get to 1K Needles, and lo and behold, I must be 45 to buy Cheese! Underage for the purchase of a Cheese? Shoot, they going to check my Kodo Mount license or something? What is this? You must be level 40 to do the quest, and with all of that killing of mobs up to three levels beyond mine, finding the CHEESE purchase as the main obstacle in getting my Skill Up is extremely aggravating.
This quest needs to have the Cheese Purchase Cap lowered to match the quest level. Req's state skill of 225 and Level 40.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I read through most all of the threads on this post. I cant get over how so many people are confused about the ch. lv. on this. who cares? no one took the time to read it could be obtained at 35? I'm 42 and still not eligible for the quest cuz ur cooking has to be 225. I guess some of ya missed that part. Ya I must be one of the few that have a life outside of WOW, sorry but I was more interested in getting my free mount at 40. thx. I plan on buying what I can and farming the rest. I think I will have most of it in my bank by the time the quest is available to me. I collect so much stuff (ugh vendor trash)in this game. :)

Comentario de lesliejo

Alterac Swiss is bought for 40 silver for 5.....time to grind for more gold. Innkeeper Abeqwa in 1K needles sells it.

Comentario de Itfiggures

It took me a full six pack to find the 10 clam meat...

Comentario de Tildy

For Alliance: The Queso curado de Alterac can be purchased from Dwane Wertle in Theramore — a short flight away.

Comentario de lightshammer

Caught all the clam from the dock at Steamwheedle, bought the cheese in SW, I justt can't see a lvl 35 being able to farm the eggs worth anything. The XP would be great but they're almost 10 levels above me.

Comentario de LiriusMagi

Hmm, but can we not learn the full recipe for this? Or is this stack of 20 all we get?

Comentario de Coldbear

Simple solution for Horde:

Alterac Swiss from innkeeper Pala in TB.
Giant Egg from 41-43 Rocs in Tanaris or AH.
Zesty Clam Meat from most water beasts in DM or STVietnam. Or just grind some cash and go to the AH ffs.

Comentario de Rostkebab

Absolutely ridiculous grind for the eggs, better off buying everything on AH.

Comentario de Wyr3d

Wowhead states the following:

This quest starts and ends in Tanaris and has objectives in Tanaris, Western Plaguelands, Eastern Plaguelands, Azshara, Burning Steppes and Winterspring.

This is untrue as there are no objective points for this quest, you can get the ingredients from anywhere, including the AH.

Comentario de Melandroso

I got the eggs and the clam meat off the AH for less than 1 g in total. Worth it at level 35.

Comentario de Paddyjack

A word to the wise for WoW Classic, at least right now. I got everything from the AH, and in fact, the Swiss was listed lower that what sold at the inn, at 20 silver for 5. I got the eggs at about 3 silver each and the clam meat at 1 silver each. Now obviously prices will vary from servers, and also over time. However, my point here is check on the AH first to avoid you some trips especially if you are lower level (I was 39).

Comentario de Fluffmeister

You don't need to go to Caverns of Time to get the cheese - it's sold by Carmen Ibanozzle, the innkeeper at Bootlegger at 55,60 in Tanaris - and is shown on the map, too.

Comentario de Oceandust

For those of you curious about the Clamlete Surprise quest rewards, it seems that you get the ability to cook up to 300 and the stack of 20 Clamlette Surprise food. You do not get a Clamlette Surprise recipe from completing this quest.

Comentario de Rhelan

Since Queso curado de Alterac is contained in the tribute chest at the end of DM:N, you may find you have this on any 60s who run DM often, or are able to pick it up easily.

Comentario de shaularian

On this date (06 Feb 2021), the quest wants "Fine Aged Cheddar", which I had an alt buy from the Cheese Shop and mail from Stormwind.

Comentario de Chripallo

Previous comment turned out to be false regarding what the quest needs. As of 05/10/2021, the quest wants x20 Queso curado de Alterac, which you can find at the cheese shop in Stormwind or in Thunderbluff.

Comentario de BregoVelen

TBC Classic at level 37 was a very easy 5500 XP, I had the mats already from my main.

Comentario de TonyTheSoprano

Instead of Alterac Swiss now he wants Fine Aged Cheddar
