Copper Shortsword recipe in WoW Forever
Copper Shortsword is a Blacksmithing recipe. With the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), its materials cost 5s 2c and Copper Shortsword resells for 7s 60c at the auction house after the 5% cut: 2s 58c of profit per craft. It turns yellow at 65, green at 85 and grey at 105. It is learned from the profession trainer at 25 in Classic (the beta files have no trainer lists).

When does it give skill points?
- Orange 25 to 64: a point on every craft
- Yellow 65 to 84: a point most of the time
- Green 85 to 104: a point now and then
- Grey from 105: 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: 5s 2c while orange, 10s 4c at the green threshold.
