How this guide is built
- A cheapest-reagent path by the orange-then-yellow rule, not a speed-run: at every skill point the best colour on offer (orange, yellow, then green) and inside it the recipe whose reagents score lowest (vendor 1, gathered 2, common drop 3, uncommon 5, rare 8; an intermediate costs its own recipe per item). The score is not gold.
- Crafts per point by the classic rule: orange 100%, yellow 75%, green 25%, grey nothing; summed over a step and rounded up, so expect variance.
- Thresholds are the recipe data's (471 of 471 recipes have them; 41 without a recorded required skill are used from yellow only; 1 with a cooldown are left out). Sources are the vendor and loot tables (observed chance at ten or more attempts, else the vanilla 1.12 chance); (vanilla) marks 1.12 world data not yet confirmed in Forever.
