Skill-up path

For every 25 skill points, what the trainer teaches that is orange at that skill (a sure point each time), the one that stays orange longest first. Where nothing is orange, the yellow recipes, which usually give a point. Your skill from the list below marks where you are.

441 recipes

learnyellowgreengreyThe skill where each recipe can be learned, then turns yellow, green and grey. Orange recipes always give a point. A trainer's skill requirement isn't in the game files, so the learn number shows only for recipes an item teaches, and with your skill set the list assumes a trainer recipe can be learned 30 points before it turns yellow, as 9 in 10 item-taught blacksmithing recipes can.

  • Matches the files The first blue craftable Blacksmithing item has modest material requirements and is bind on pickup, so only the crafter benefits.

    The files The first BS blues (yellow 40, req 10) are Glowing / Gemmed / Strange Copper Boots: 2 Copper Bar + 2 Light Leather + 4 Lesser Magic Essence / gems / 4 Strange Dust, all Bonding 1 (BoP).
