Our profession guides for WoW Forever come straight from the game's own files (client 1.60.1), not from Classic. Forever changed a lot of recipes: some were renamed, many are new and some Classic ones are gone. Guides copied from Classic can send you to recipes that don't exist here.
The guides
| Profession | Recipes in the files | Without a recipe item | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alchemy | 180 | 44 | Alchemy |
| Blacksmithing | 418 | 99 | Blacksmithing |
| Enchanting | 238 | 67 | Enchanting |
| Engineering | 242 | 83 | Engineering |
| Leatherworking | 480 | 94 | Leatherworking |
| Tailoring | 404 | 91 | Tailoring |
| Cooking | 129 | 14 | Cooking |
| First Aid | 32 | 16 | First Aid |
Recipes "without a recipe item" are the ones you learn from the trainer, a quest or automatically. They're the core of any leveling route. The rest are taught by recipe, pattern, plans, schematic or formula items.
What each guide gives you
- The skill where every recipe turns yellow, green and grey, so you know how long it keeps giving points.
- The materials for each one.
- Which recipes need a recipe item, and that item's name.
What the files don't tell us
- The skill at which a trainer teaches each recipe. That's kept on Blizzard's servers. Check your trainer.
- Where each recipe item comes from. Vendors, drops, quests and reputations all hand them out.
- Prices. The auction house decides those, and they change daily.
We don't fill those gaps with Classic numbers. Where Forever matches Classic you'll find them on many sites, and where it doesn't they'd mislead you.
