177 of the 839 newly discovered Forever recipes are Blacksmithing — 21% of them — consuming 122 tracked materials.

That makes it the #2 most expanded of the 12 professions the new recipes touch.

Counts come from recipes read out of the Forever client. More recipes is not more demand: how many players level a profession, and how much they craft, is not published anywhere.

Subject: Forever weekly — what moved

  1. Material pricesWhich tracked materials moved most over the week, with the median and the change.
  2. Crafting changesRecipes the client added, removed or rewired since the last briefing.
  3. Worth checkingCrafts whose materials and output are far enough apart to be worth a look in your own auction house.

Prices come from player auction scans, the same ones the site reads. A week with nothing worth reporting says so instead of filling the space.
