  28. Counts are estimates that factor in skill-up chance (orange 100%, yellow and green drop off toward gray). Each step uses the recipe with the lowest material cost per skill point. Only trainer recipes and recipes sold openly by vendors outside dungeons, with no reputation requirement, are used. Recipes and materials were checked against official Blizzard data.
