Savory Whimsyfin Delight WoW Forever beta

Since 2004, World of Warcraft players have known the Savory Deviate Delight, a fish dish from the Barrens that turns you into a pirate or a ninja for an hour. It is only for looks.

WoW Forever adds a second one, the Savory Whimsyfin Delight, which turns you into an orc pirate or an orc ninja. You fish the Whimsyfin in Redridge Mountains, loot the recipe from the zone’s mobs and cook it at 85 Cooking.

Since the October 1 build, it gives the Savory Deviate Delight’s pirate and ninja outfits on an orc. The murloc and the ogre it gave before were placeholders, Blizzard says, and forms like them may come back.

By Vektor, updated October 2, 2026.

A female character turned into an ogre by the Savory Whimsyfin Delight, in game — The ogre it gave until October 1, in VezyRPG’s video.

How to get it

The same three steps as for the Savory Deviate Delight in the Barrens, moved to Redridge Mountains. Alliance and Horde alike.

Fish the Whimsyfin in Redridge Mountains

The Whimsyfin comes from its own pools east of Lake Everstill: in the winding river south of Stonewatch Keep, and in a small lake nearby, close to the murlocs. Only two pools are up at a time: fish one out and a new one appears elsewhere. Bobby Blinks fishes them at 61.9, 70.6.

With about 150 in Fishing you stop losing catches. Players have not found pools on Lake Everstill yet.

Eaten raw, the fish does what a Deviate Fish does: one random effect. Players have had Party Time! (you dance for two minutes), Sleepy (asleep for 30 seconds), Rejuvenation and Healthy Spirit.

Recipe: Savory Whimsyfin Delight

The recipe is a rare drop from the mobs of Redridge Mountains. Wowhead has seen it twice on a Great Goretusk, out of 161,000 killed, and a player looted it from a Black Dragon Whelp (level 17-18). Like the Savory Deviate Delight recipe in the Barrens, it seems to drop from any of them.

It is not bound: you can buy it, or sell yours, at the auction house.

The tooltip only says “Eat me.”: the form is chosen by the server.

What it does

An orc pirate or ninja: Since the October 1 build, according to Blizzard’s notes. Before it, a male character always became a murloc and a female character an ogre: Blizzard calls those forms placeholders. Players have not said yet how it picks between the pirate and the ninja.
One hour, even in combat: The form lasts an hour and stays on when you fight, like the Savory Deviate Delight. The two spells have the same duration and the same settings in the client.
Why you cannot choose: In the client, the Savory Deviate Delight comes with four forms: a pirate and a ninja, each with a male and a female model, and the server picks pirate or ninja at random. The Savory Whimsyfin Delight has no forms of its own in the client, only an empty one that the server fills: its orc outfits come from the server, which is why the October 1 change does not show in the files.
Who can eat it: Anyone from level 1, so you can cook them for your alts. They stack to 20.
