All materials: where to get them and what they are for
ReferenceBuilt from the game’s data
Every crafting material in the game: gathering, fishing, enemies, the merchant, disenchanting, crafting or bosses — and which professions use it.
The same information as the in-game Supply screen: for each material — every way to get it and the professions that use it. A crafter may know up to 2 crafting professions, so materials from others come through trade and the auction house.
