Live market offers

A wide spread on a thin order book usually means a stale listing rather than free money — check the volumes before committing gold. Every traded item is in the full Idle Clans market price table.

7-day price history

The API publishes this series as an ordered set of samples over its own 7-day window without per-sample timestamps, so samples are numbered rather than dated — the last 12 of 29 are listed, and the sparkline draws all of them. Change is the first-to-last move, with no minimum-price filter. For the week's biggest moves across every item, see the 7-day movers board.

Where Iron Ore comes from

Skill	Task	Level	Time	XP	XP/hr	Value/hr
Mining	Iron Ore	15	4.5s	12.0	9,600	16,800

Rates come straight from the official game data's action times and XP rewards, at base speed with no boosts, tools or clan upgrades. Value/hr is the gross value of the output at the current lowest sell offer, before input costs. A dash means the game data publishes no action time or no XP for that task, which is also why it is absent from the ranked calculator.

Iron Ore dropped by

Enemy	Zone	Amount	Drop share
Golem	Exterminating	10–30	10%

From the official game data's loot tables. Drop share is this item's weight divided by the enemy's total loot weight; the data does not say how many loot rolls a kill gives, so it is a share of the table rather than an exact chance per kill. Full tables and loot values are on each monster and boss page.

Steel Bar	Smithing	30	2	-41

Base value is the BaseValue field in the game's own item data, not a verified shop price. That data publishes no stats, tier or level requirement for an item, so this table compares published values, live sell offers, tracked wearers and producing tasks — it does not rank power and it does not claim one of these items upgrades into another. 9 of the 9 have a sell offer right now. Items without a link have no page of their own yet.
