- 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

| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |

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 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Ironclaw Whetstone cost 97 gold19 silver. Most of that is Core Alloy - 1 at 58 gold each, 58 gold, 59.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 102 gold30 silver per craft, 25 gold57 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 6 gold, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −73 gold19 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold20 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 74 gold39 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -76.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 22 units across 7 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 →
