Where do the recipes come from?

Recipes, skill thresholds and reagents are the WoW: Forever client’s own, build 1.60.1.70009. New means Classic Era, build 1.15.9.69722, has no such recipe.

When does a trainer teach a recipe?

The client does not say at what skill a trainer teaches a recipe, so the route uses trainer recipes only from the skill where they turn yellow.

How is a reagent priced?

A reagent is priced at its AH value from players’ scans in the market above when that price is less than three days old. Otherwise at a vendor: what a vendor sells it for, or else what a vendor pays for it, which is the least it is worth.

How this list is made. By default, the cheapest way from skill 1 to 300 with the recipes below, from every source. A recipe with a cooldown, or with a reagent that has no price yet, is left out. A stretch that no recipe covers shows as a gap.

Recipe names carry the colour the profession window gives them: orange is a point every craft, yellow is three in four, green is one in four.

Before the first craft — buy it all at once

One trip to the auction house. Vendor lines are cheaper from the profession vendor than from the board.

Questions

How this page is built

Where do the recipes come from?: Recipes, skill thresholds and reagents are the WoW: Forever client’s own, build 1.60.1.70009. New means Classic Era, build 1.15.9.69722, has no such recipe.
When does a trainer teach a recipe?: The client does not say at what skill a trainer teaches a recipe, so the route uses trainer recipes only from the skill where they turn yellow.
How is a reagent priced?: A reagent is priced at its AH value from players’ scans in the market above when that price is less than three days old. Otherwise at a vendor: what a vendor sells it for, or else what a vendor pays for it, which is the least it is worth.
What does "pays for itself" mean?

A step pays for itself when what it makes sells on the auction house, after the 5% cut, for at least what its reagents cost. We say so only when the result has a scan price and every reagent a scan or vendor price.

Why is a recipe with a cooldown not in the route?

A recipe with a cooldown is listed here with its cooldown but left out of the route, which crafts each recipe as many times in a row as it needs.

Prices from

Beta market: a level cap and far fewer players, so these prices say little about launch.
