Ironclaw Alloy quality ranks
Ironclaw Alloy comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 525.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Ironclaw Alloy | 66 gold96 silver | 65 listings, 265 units |
| Rank 2 | Ironclaw Alloy | 62 gold99 silver | 28 listings, 189 units |
| Rank 3 | Ironclaw Alloy | 93 gold98 silver | 100 listings, 1,827 units |
The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here. Right now rank 1 lists above rank 2, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.
Ironclaw Alloy: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 17% below its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Ironclaw Alloy cost 83 gold60 silver. Most of that is Core Alloy - 2 at 38 gold60 silver each, 77 gold20 silver, 92.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 88 gold - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 66 gold96 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −16 gold64 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 3 gold34 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 19 gold98 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -23.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 265 units across 65 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
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 →
