- No gap: the route reaches 300
Route
What to craft
Each row is the recipe the route rule picked for that skill. Train the next rank before 75 (Journeyman), 150 (Expert), 225 (Artisan). The four rank spells are still in the client; the effect stores a tier index, not a character level, so the level the trainer wants is not in these tables.

Vendor marks are only the Classic supplier reagents whose names still match in this client (vials, thread, flux, salt, bleach, iron buckles). A mark is not a check that a vendor in your city stocks the item.
Notes
What is different about Blacksmithing
The first 14 points are unconfirmed
Rough Sharpening Stone is orange from 1 to 15 and costs one Rough Stone. The Warcraft Wiki lists it at skill 1 and leaves the source as unknown, so the table does not call it a trainer recipe. Copper Chain Pants, which the wiki does call a trainer recipe, takes over at 15.
Classic routes go gray early
Against Classic Era build 1.15.9.70576, 185 of 310 shared blacksmithing spells turn yellow at a lower skill. The median shift is 25 points, and none of those shared spells turn yellow later. A Classic 1–300 shopping list will run out of orange crafts before this one does.
Bars are not in this total
Copper through Thorium bars are Mining smelts. The calculator leaves them as bars. Rough, Coarse, Heavy, Solid and Dense Grinding Stones are blacksmithing reagents, and those are broken back into stone.
The last plans are not the capital trainer
Once the plain trainer pieces go gray, the matched recipes left are vendor plans (Ebon Shiv, Bold Dirk, the Clutchlord pieces) and Blessed Plate Chest, whose wiki source cell is unknown. Those rows are labeled. They are what the data still gives points for, not a claim that the plan is cheap or that we stood at the vendor.
FAQ
Do I need Mining?＋
Mining is the profession that smelts the bars this route spends. You can also buy the bars. The calculator does not turn a Copper Bar into ore, because that smelt is not a blacksmithing recipe.
Why is Rough Sharpening Stone marked unconfirmed?＋
The wiki publishes the learn skill and then a question mark for the source. The reagents and the orange range come from the client. We did not guess "trainer" to fill the cell.
Why does the route stay on stones for so long?＋
The rule is the orange trainer recipe with the fewest reagents. Two Rough Stone for a Rough Grinding Stone beats a chest piece that takes a pile of bars, for as long as the stone is orange. It is not a gold-per-point price.
Do I need an anvil?＋
The recipe reagents do not include an anvil. Classic smithing uses one at a forge. Check the first craft you make in a city; we are not going to invent a tool requirement the tables do not list.
