This recipe is purely focused on Dire Maul. The Runn Tum Tuber that you need for it is found in the pods throughout DM East. That is the only place that I have found it. The buff that you get from this dish is nice, but since you can only have one food buff active at a time, Nightfin Soup https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=13931 is a better caster buff imo.

How to get this:
The recipe is found in Dire Maul (DM for short) in the "east" section, this is the only section that you can get into with out the crescent key. There are two ways of entering DM east, you want to enter through the courtyard, the door is on the right hand side, or east side. Once in you will see an imp who you can talk to. If you talk to him, he will run away and tell you to try and find him. If you simply follow the path that the instance lays out for you, you will have to talk to him 3 or 4 more times. The last time you talk to him he will run away to a corner witch you will find just by following the instance, and he will be hostile. You must kill him, and he will drop the recipe for Runn Tum Tuber Surprise. Note: he only drops one recipe so make sure you are the only cook before taking it. Also the imp will drop the crescent key for everyone in the party, if you pick it up, it will give you access to the rest of DM. I hope this helped the cooks who are after this recpies

as added note, the tubers for the resipe are also found in dm, you will find spors that you can loot in every part of dm. most will be a trap, but when you find a good one, you should get about 10 tubers. they also sell well in the AH

This recipe is now as of patch 2.3 the ONLY way to get past 275 cooking without having to buy fish / skill fishing.

Waste less time - Get a DM group. Old school peeps can run it just for nostalgia, warlocks might need it for their mount. "I'll help you with the dreadsteed if you help me kill Pusillin." is a fair trade.

It's actually really easy to solo Pusillin for the recipe at 70-ish. Easier for some classes then for others of course, but if you bring a friend it should really be a breeze. So if you're leveling cooking late in the game, level wise, this might be a better alternative to buying fish of the AH or even leveling up fishing just to get to 300 cooking.

I went in once for the recipe and whatever Runn Tum Tubers I could find on the way, and then two more checks of the first room only for more tubers (resetting the instance in between). All in all I got 41 of them (and the recipe) in about an hour (also counting the travel time to Dire Maul), which was enough to get me from 275 to 312. Just watch out for the Warpwood Crushers as they have a significantly larger aggro radius then the other mobs in there.

Turns yellow at: 300
Turns green at: 312

This is a helpful recipe for leveling your cooking skill from 275 to 300.
However you need to be level70 to solo Dire Maul East, otherwise you need either a group for it or a boost from someone. It is a ~lvl56 instance.

Alternatively you can get from 250 to 285 with the new Bear Flank recipies, and then go fom 285 to 300 with the Smoked Desert Dumplings in Silithus(you need 285 cooking to accept the quest for it).

From 300 onwards the new TBC recipies kick in.

Awesome recipe for leveling cooking from 275 to 300. Simply awesome!!!

I just soloed this as a 70 RESTO druid, so I don't want to hear that anyone shouldn't be able to obtain this. Along the way to the boss and afterwards, I wandered around DM collecting Run Tunn Tubers. Again, very easy to do. Hearth out, cook food, level up. Done.

Comment by Hinalover

The joke with this recipe is from T.S. Elliot's poetry book "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." The poem the title is based off is called "Rum Tum Tugger" about a cat who acts like a ladies man and is based off of Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.

This recipe is dropped off of the key holder imp Pisillin in Dire Maul East Instance. I've killed him twice and it dropped off him both times.

Rum Tum Tubers are also found in the same instance off pods you have to open. The good thing about this is that 5-8 tubers drop at one time so if you have no competeition you end up with over a stack at the end of the instance.

Comment by Thottbot

You get it from the little plants.. they can open and some flowers can jump out.. or poison or they can drop those flower that protects you

Comment by Thottbot

After Patch 2.3, this becomes the only non-fishing item that can get you from 275-285. It'll take you to 300, but you can get the silithus quest for 285-300 as well.

DM-E, easy easy. 2 manned it as a enhance shammy with a pally healer, both 70.

Comment by Thottbot

yeah I solo'd this with lvl 70 hunter, just keep to the edge and you can avoid alot of the mobs. Apart form lvl 56 elite trees, anyway hope it help u solo'ers, gotta chase the little imp he also drops the crescent key.

Comment by Thottbot

Got this drop by accident. Fire Mage (Level 63) and Holy Paladin (Level 61) doing this as part of his epic pally mount quest.

Very easily duo'able in the 60s with dps and healer.

Comment by Thottbot

You mentioned you can get the quest in Silithus what is the name of the quest?

Thanks

The finished product provides a +10 intellect buff for 10 minutes. The ingredients are found in the spores inside Dire Maul.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yes, eating this will stack with arcane int or brillance. Take note, you can only have <b>ONE</b> food buff at ANY time. So the blessed sunfruit juice would cancel if you receive the buff from eating this.

Comment by Allakhazam

Does this stack with Arcane intellect?

Comment by howa003

This buff DOES NOT STACK with food buffs such as Poached Bluefish - i.e. you can only have one or the other.
