Beta market: a level cap and far fewer players, so these prices say little about launch.
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.
One trip to the auction house. Vendor lines are cheaper from the profession vendor than from the board.
