Classic Era Mining Smelting Route 1 to 300
Mining Smelting RouteClassic Era
Mining levels by gathering nodes, not by crafting. This is the Classic Era smelting route only: skill 1 to 300 from the smelting recipes in the client, with expected craft counts and the full material list.
Mining levels by gathering nodes in the world, not by crafting. This page is the smelting route only: the skill you can gain at a station from the 13 smelting recipes this client carries, and what they consume. It is not a node route and it does not replace one.
Computed from the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Nothing on this page is copied from another site.
Craft counts are an estimate: the colour bands are read from the game client, and we assume the usual skill-up odds of one point per orange craft, three in four on yellow, one in four on green and none on grey. Each band holds one recipe while it is still orange or yellow rather than swapping every few points, and the count is summed point by point as the recipe cools. Expected means average, so half of all runs need more crafts than the number shown.
The client data we hold does not record where each recipe is taught, so this route never claims a trainer, a vendor or a drop. It states only what the client says: the skill each recipe stops paying at, and the recipes it teaches you automatically.
