- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 4 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Ironclaw Whetstone comes in 3 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.

Ironclaw Whetstone quality ranks
Ironclaw Whetstone comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 515.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Ironclaw Whetstone | 33 gold | 3 listings, 20 units |
| Rank 2 | Ironclaw Whetstone | 3 gold50 silver | 23 listings, 3,777 units |
| Rank 3 | Ironclaw Whetstone | 3 gold50 silver | 28 listings, 1,208 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 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.
Ironclaw Whetstone: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 2.8 times 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 3 reagents for one craft of Ironclaw Whetstone cost 66 gold18 silver. Most of that is Core Alloy - 1 at 38 gold each, 38 gold, 57.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 69 gold66 silver per craft, 17 gold41 silver per item at 4 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 33 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 65 gold82 silver; the Auction House would keep 6 gold60 silver of a sale, leaving 59 gold22 silver. That is an estimated 89.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 10.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 20 units across 3 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 →
