Most value per Iron Ore first. Value is what the crafted item fetches, the higher of a vendor’s price and its lowest buyout. Margin is that value minus the other reagents, each at the lower of a vendor’s price and its lowest buyout; it shows only when every number is known.

· checked every hour

Vendor sell prices and recipes come from the game files. Auction prices are per item from Blizzard’s auction house data, read every hour (buyouts only; bids are left out); vendor prices of reagents come from data collected from the live game. Each ruleset has its own auction house per faction; Blizzard’s data does not name them, so they are matched by size and still being confirmed in game.

Where this data comes from

The tooltip, stats, set, recipes and icon come from the WoW Forever game files (build 1.60.1.70888). Drop, vendor and quest sources come from data collected from the live game, matched to the game’s item IDs. Rankings use editorial starter stat priorities, not simulated DPS. How scores work.
