Where the reagents come from
Monelite Ore. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 66 other recipes (29 Engineering, 22 Blacksmithing, 8 Jewelcrafting and 4 Inscription); Super-Charged Engine takes the most, 100 per craft.
Durable Flux. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 51 other recipes (51 Blacksmithing); the most per craft: Eldritch Osmenite Legguards (Blacksmithing, 60 per craft), Maddening Osmenite Legguards (Blacksmithing, 40 per craft), Banded Osmenite Legguards (Blacksmithing, 30 per craft), Eldritch Osmenite Girdle (Blacksmithing, 25 per craft) and Maddening Osmenite Girdle (Blacksmithing, 20 per craft).
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Monel-Hardened Stirrups cost 178 gold96 silver. Most of that is Monelite Ore - 20 at 8 gold94 silver each, 178 gold80 silver, 99.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 188 gold37 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 168 gold, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −10 gold96 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 8 gold40 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 19 gold36 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -10.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 47 units across 10 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 →
