Bronze Shortsword recipe in WoW Forever
Bronze Shortsword is a Blacksmithing recipe. With the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), its materials cost 21s 13c and Bronze Shortsword resells for 41s 80c at the auction house after the 5% cut: 20s 67c of profit per craft. It turns yellow at 125, green at 140 and grey at 155. It is learned from the profession trainer at 120 in Classic (the beta files have no trainer lists).

When does it give skill points?
- Orange 120 to 124: a point on every craft
- Yellow 125 to 139: a point most of the time
- Green 140 to 154: a point now and then
- Grey from 155: 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: 21s 13c while orange, 42s 26c at the green threshold.
