Golden Rod recipe in WoW Forever
Golden Rod is a Blacksmithing recipe. With the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), its materials cost 25s 65c and Golden Rod resells for 12s 35c at the auction house after the 5% cut: a loss of 13s 30c per craft. It turns yellow at 130, green at 133 and grey at 135. It is learned from the profession trainer at 150 in Classic (the beta files have no trainer lists).
What it earns

- Market price per unit
- Sold to a vendor
Source: the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), the same prices as the item pages. An isolated listing (far above what a vendor pays or the item's recent average) never counts.

When does it give skill points?
- Orange 150 to 129: a point on every craft
- Yellow 130 to 132: a point most of the time
- Green 133 to 134: a point now and then
- Grey from 135: 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: 25s 65c while orange, 64s 13c at the green threshold.
