WoW Forever Savory Whimsyfin Delight: recipe and new Orc transformations
Savory Whimsyfin Delight now uses Orc Ninja and Pirate appearances. Check the October update, Cooking recipe and reported Whimsyfin fishing locations.
Why does Whimsyfin no longer turn you into a Murloc or Ogre?
Blizzard’s October 1 update replaces those placeholder transformations with Orc versions of the Ninja and Pirate outfits. Blizzard may revisit similar transformations later, but the old Murloc and Ogre appearances are no longer the current effect.
The screenshot below records the earlier appearance. Use the recipe and fishing information for obtaining the dish, rather than farming it specifically for the removed models.

What ingredients does the recipe need?
The current Forever crafting entry uses one fish and one spice per craft, producing two dishes. It requires a Cooking Fire. Learn the recipe before buying a batch of ingredients.
| For one craft | Amount |
|---|---|
| Whimsyfin | 1 |
| Mild Spices | 1 |
| Savory Whimsyfin Delight produced | 2 |
What Cooking skill do you need?
The recipe item requires Cooking 85. That is your profession skill, not your character level. Reaching that skill does not teach the dish automatically, so you still need to obtain and learn Recipe: Savory Whimsyfin Delight.
Where does Recipe: Savory Whimsyfin Delight drop?
Wowhead reports drops from enemies in Redridge Mountains, including Great Goretusk. That gives you a place to watch for the recipe while questing, but it does not establish a reliable farming route or a drop percentage.
If you are already doing nearby quests, check your loot before selling. Keep a useful recipe drop even if your Cooking is not ready yet. A dedicated hunt can wait until you know whether you enjoy making the dish.
Where can you fish for Whimsyfin?
Players commenting on Wowhead’s Whimsyfin page report schools in Redridge, east of Lake Everstill and near Stonewatch Keep. These are places to investigate, not a verified circuit. We have not confirmed school respawn timing, the minimum Fishing skill or whether open-water casts also yield the fish.
Bring your fishing gear if you want to look during a Redridge visit. Check the bank for nearby enemies before settling in, and start with a few fish rather than filling your bags for a recipe you have not learned.
A side project for your next Redridge visit
Treat the dish as a fun profession goal alongside your quests. Once you know the recipe, track its ingredients in the profession window and pick a convenient stop to cook. Try a small batch with friends before deciding whether to collect more.
Wisp’s free beta supplies quest steps and directions for supported starting routes. Profession integration is still in development, so it does not currently guide this fishing trip or track the recipe for you.
