Where the reagents come from
Thorium Bar. Made with Smelt Thorium (Mining, Classic Mining) from 1 
Thorium Ore. At lowest listed prices that makes one Thorium Bar for 2 gold88 silver, against 4 gold10 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 89 other recipes (74 Blacksmithing, 7 Engineering, 5 Jewelcrafting and 1 Inscription); Lionheart Helm takes the most, 80 per craft.
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Forging cost 8 gold20 silver.
Break-even is 8 gold63 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item has no current Auction House listing to compare it against, so the estimate above is left unknown rather than guessed.
Costs use each reagent’s lowest listed price; the estimate is the crafted item’s lowest listed price, times the items one craft makes, minus those reagents and Blizzard’s 5% sale cut. Listings are asking prices, not sales. Recalculated every snapshot and left blank rather than guessed when a price is missing. How we estimate crafting profit →
