SkillUp Forever shows skill-up chances, recipe costs and colour thresholds in the Professions window. Its side panel has levelling routes, shopping lists, crafted gear and the buffs each profession makes.
It needs Forever Core, which CurseForge and Wago install with it.
Free, with nothing locked behind it. If it saves you time, you can sponsor me on GitHub, which takes no fees, or buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. For help and each day's release notes, join me on Discord.

From 48 to 60 the rows re-sort by cost per skill-up, and the bracers turn green at 55.

Colour thresholds and reagent prices for the recipe you hover.

Features
- Recipe rows and tooltips. Each recipe shows its skill-up chance, cost and colour thresholds, in the row and in its tooltip. Missing data shows
?. - A wider, sortable recipe list. The list grows to the longest recipe name in the open profession, with how many your bags can make in parentheses after each name, and the window grows with it up to the room your screen has; turn it off in settings to keep the game's own width. Sort by difficulty range start, chance, cheapest skill-ups or newest learned first.
- Unlearned recipes. A setting, off by default, lists them greyed under the learned ones, each marked with its trainer or recipe item and the skill it asks. Hovering one shows its reagents, cost and skill-up colours like a learned recipe's; they cannot be selected or crafted.
- Levelling routes. Crafts, trainer visits, skill books and rank quests to your target skill, including fees, tools and stations, with steps that allow for unlucky skill-ups. Cheaper crafted reagents become their own steps, routes that stop short name recipes that could extend them, and right-clicking a recipe and choosing Not this recipe plans without it.
- Shopping lists. Reagents are counted against bags and bank. Choose whether gathered materials are free or bought, track them beside quests, buy vendor stock and keep an Auctionator list up to date; at the auction house, search a recipe's reagents for as many crafts as you choose.
- Trainers, reagents and gathering. Trainers mark the best recipe to train next, and reagent tooltips show what tracked routes need. On English clients, gathering nodes show the Herbalism or Mining skill they need, coloured at yours.
- Crafted gear and buffs. The gear tab, enabled in settings, shows the newest craft for each slot with its recipe, reagents and learning location. The buffs tab shows what each profession can make for your level on a skill timeline: known buffs, the ones you can learn now and the ones still ahead, for any profession picked from its dropdown, including crafters you do not have.
- Forever Leaderboards. The distinct recipes SkillUp has observed as learned on your character are ranked against guild and group totals, for this week or all time, in the shared window every Forever addon uses. The window also shows the overall standing across installed Forever addons and puts a player's place in the unit tooltip.
Prices
Each reagent uses the cheapest known vendor or Auctionator price; visiting a vendor records its prices and reputation discounts. Materials your professions gather count as free until you choose Buy reagents, or cost what they'd sell for with Value gathered materials at what they'd sell for on. Price self-supplied reagents at auction values prices whatever you gather, loot or already own at its market value, and leaves it unpriced rather than free when there is none.
SkillUp never scans the auction house itself: scan with Auctionator to update prices. Missing prices stay unknown and leave affected recipes out of the route.
A craft's vendor sell value comes off its cost, or its auction value after the 5% cut if you choose. Profit shows a green +.

With Shortest Path Forever, clicking a trainer or vendor in the route plans the trip there, and SkillUp picks the nearest one by travel time. Adventure Guide Forever shows each profession's next steps in its Professions tab. A tracked route shares one tracker column with the Shortest Path, Adventure Guide and Legacy Forever sections, above your quests.
