Owned supplies reduce purchases. Blank prices stay unknown; zero means free. Skill-book and training fees are listed separately in the guide.

More prices, profiles & imports

Enter unit prices, not stack prices. Blank auction prices remain unknown; zero is an explicit free price. Vendor defaults are base client prices before discounts. Estimated sale proceeds must already account for AH fees and the chance an item sells; no live prices, deposits or guaranteed sales are assumed.

How it works

Orange recipes guarantee skill-ups in this model. Yellow and green chances use an estimated linear decline; quantities and the optional 15% buffer are not guarantees. Cheapest uses cost per skill point, Fastest uses crafting time including components, and Balanced weights both equally.

Entered prices affect comparisons immediately. While prices are incomplete, unknown ingredients use a quantity-based comparison proxy normalized against entered prices; no auction price is invented or included in displayed subtotals. Routes are a per-skill approximation, not a guaranteed global optimum. Extra skill-ups from component preparation are not credited.

Costs use rounded shopping quantities before owned inventory. Price cards subtract owned quantities. Client crafting time excludes travel, farming and pattern waiting. Sale recovery counts only leftover outputs. Profession rank requirements are shown in training steps; the guide does not ask for your character level.
