How the plan is made

  • Orange recipes always give a skill point, one point per craft. The plan uses an orange recipe at every skill where one has prices.
  • Yellow and green recipes may not give a point. The site has no trusted source for the chance, so it gives none. The plan uses them only where no orange recipe has prices, and their craft counts are the least it can take.
  • Each material counts at the lower of a vendor’s price and the lowest buyout on this house. Buying many may cost more than the lowest buyout.
  • It uses recipes from the trainer and patterns you can buy from a vendor or that are listed on this house now. A pattern is counted once. Trainer fees are not counted: they are not in the data the site holds.
  • When two recipes cost about the same, the plan keeps the one you are already making.

Left out: 2 recipes with a material that has no price here, 42 whose pattern is not for sale here (tick the box to use dropped patterns), 1 with no learning skill on record.

Recipes, reagents, what they make, when they turn yellow and grey, and the skill a pattern needs come from the WoW Forever game files, which also give one point per craft. Where green starts and the skill a trainer teaches a recipe at come from data collected from the live game, as do vendor prices. Auction prices are the lowest buyouts from Blizzard’s auction house data, read every hour. Each ruleset has its own auction house per faction; Blizzard’s data does not name them, so they are matched by size and still being confirmed in game. Rank costs and the character level each rank needs are not in this data, so they are not shown.
