Understand Merchant’s Favor

Using the skill guides

1. Check trainer and rank: learn the profession and the next available rank. Your Professions window, K, shows what your character actually knows.
2. Set a small skill target: choose a learned orange or yellow recipe you need yourself or can use as an intermediate. Green is less reliable; gray recipes grant no skill points.
3. Craft in small batches: after each batch, check recipe color, supplies and your next useful alternative.
4. Buy new recipes with a purpose: check acquisition, learning requirements and materials first. Spending Merchant’s Favor on a recipe does not supply its ingredients.

Stages are editorial work plans. They do not establish a guaranteed 1–300 shopping list: recipe colors, learned recipes and random skill gains determine your actual quantities.

What the data covers

Checked 7 November 2026. Recipe data mainly uses build 1.60.1.70862; individual sightings may come from older Forever builds. Yellow/gray numbers are database difficulty thresholds, not learning requirements. Recipe acquisition and ingredient sourcing are listed separately. Some German names are fan translations; English names remain available for searching.
