Obtain 75 skill points in the "Pandaria" category of cooking.

Zen Master Cook is a 10-point achievement earned by obtaining 75 skill points in the Pandaria category of cooking, which means reaching a total cooking skill of 600.

1

Travel to Halfhill Market

Head to Halfhill Market in the Valley of the Four Winds, where Sungshin Ironpaw resides. As of patch 5.0.1, the entire 600 cooking skill can be trained in this single location, and you can level from 1 to 525 in as little as 10 minutes by completing the cooking quests she provides. Note that aggressive birds fly low above Halfhill, so be aware of your surroundings when navigating the area.

2

Gather Required Quest Materials

Sungshin Ironpaw sells some, but not all, of the materials needed for her cooking quests. You will also need to farm or purchase Wildfowl Breast and Golden Carp through farming or the Auction House to complete her quests.

Cook to 600 From 575

Once you reach skill level 575, cook Spicy Salmon or Spicy Vegetable Chips repeatedly from the Everyday Cooking tab — found beneath all the Ways in the cooking interface — to reach 600. Both recipes remain orange all the way to 600, meaning each craft continues to award a skill point, and they only turn grey after 600 is reached. This method does not require leveling any of the Ways (such as Way of the Pot, Way of the Brew, or Way of the Steamer).

Tips

  • Pandaren characters require 615 total cooking skill points to earn this achievement rather than 600.

  • The minimum character level to begin skilling up cooking the standard way is level 80.

  • Cooking Spicy Salmon or Spicy Vegetable Chips from 575 to 600 avoids spending any Ironpaw tokens on Way-based recipes.
