Black Jelly
Black Jelly is crafted by cooks with the aid of a Cooking Fire. The recipe could previously only be learned from
Bethany Cromwell at the Argent Tournament Grounds and the cooking trainers in Dalaran, but can now be learned from all regular cooking trainers. Learning it requires level 400 Cooking skill.
Black Jelly is used mainly by tanks or other characters with very high health as a way to avoid having to eat multiple foods to regain all of their health. When compared to a similar health-and-mana food such as
[Conjured Mana Strudel], Black Jelly provides 3x more health and mana over a time period 2x as long. When compared to a health-only food such as
[Savory Snowplum], Black Jelly provides 2x more health over a time period 2x as long.
While it provided the highest amount of food-regeneration in WOTLK, Black Jelly has since then been surpassed by Cataclysm-foods. It does, however, still provide the best regeneration to players below level 80 (and above 74). Notably, it also holds the highest item level (90) of all food-consumables (food and drink) in the game, even in Cataclysm[1].
