Plans: Thorium Armor teaches the Classic Blacksmithing recipe Thorium Armor, which makes Thorium Armor. At the lowest US listings, the reagents for one craft cost 81g 23s, and Thorium Bar is the largest share at 98%. Thorium Armor lists from 115g 83s each, so one craft sold at that price returns 28g 80s after the 5% auction cut, a 36% margin over its reagents. At that return, the lowest listing for Plans: Thorium Armor itself (1s, the lowest of 69 realms listing it) is paid back after 1 craft. It turns yellow at Classic Blacksmithing skill 270 and grey at 290.
