No rank in the title

A trainer is listed under the rank word in its title: Journeyman, Expert, Artisan and so on. The data does not say which ranks each trainer teaches, what a rank costs or the level it needs, so those are not shown. Titles, zones and factions come from data collected from the live game; whether an NPC trains, and its place on the map, from QuestieDB. An NPC whose title does not name the profession, or with no zone on record, is left out.

Where each material comes from

24 materials

Disenchanting destroys a green or better weapon or piece of armor and gives one of these. The chances are the recorded disenchants of the gear on record, up to about 200 items per material, so a material may also come from gear not named here.

Gear worth buying to disenchant and recipes crafted for the dust, on your auction house

Disenchant results come from data collected from the live game; item levels are the range most of that gear falls in. Auction prices are 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.

AH is the lowest buyout on your auction house. Reagent cost counts each reagent at the lower of a vendor’s price and its lowest buyout, and shows only when every reagent has one.

Skill shows when the recipe turns yellow and then grey, the range in which it can still raise your skill. Recipes, reagents and skill ranges come from the WoW Forever game files. Auction prices are per item from Blizzard’s auction house data, read every hour (buyouts only; bids are left out); vendor prices come from data collected from the live game. 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.
