Hard Gold Boots recipe in WoW Forever
Hard Gold Boots is a Blacksmithing recipe new in the WoW Forever beta files (build 1.60.1.70532): Classic Era has no such recipe. With the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), its materials cost 1g 50s 6c and Hard Gold Boots resells for 5g 27s 25c at the auction house after the 5% cut: 3g 77s 19c of profit per craft. It turns yellow at 175, green at 188 and grey at 200. It can be learned at 150.

When does it give skill points?
- Orange 150 to 174: a point on every craft
- Yellow 175 to 187: a point most of the time
- Green 188 to 199: a point now and then
- Grey from 200: no more points
Classic rule: 100% while orange, then the chance falls evenly to 0 at grey. Green sits halfway between yellow and grey, as in Classic.
Average cost of a point: 1g 50s 6c while orange, 3g 12s 63c at the green threshold.
