How the route is calculated

Skill-up chance follows the Classic rule: orange recipes always give a point, yellow and green ones give a point with a chance that falls from 100% at yellow to 0% at grey.
Material cost uses each item's base value from the client as a relative price (there is no auction data before launch), and trainer recipes are preferred over ones that need a recipe item.
2 steps use a recipe whose learn skill is estimated: the client does not state when the trainer offers it.
