What is different from Classic?

What changed across professions

Leveling curves are different

Many Classic recipes keep their reagents but turn gray sooner, so Classic leveling guides fall short and cost more than they say.

Bar: Classic recipes with new color thresholds. Last column: typical shift in skill points (negative means gray sooner).
