Forge cost vs market price
The forge cost below prices every input at today's market average. A positive margin means the finished greaves sells for more than its inputs cost; a negative one means buying it outright is cheaper than forging it from bought materials. Daily sales tell you whether anyone is actually buying.
| Greaves | Forge level | Materials | Forge cost | Market price | Margin | Sold/day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tin Greaves | 1 | 10 Tin Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 100 | 24 | -76 | 8 |
| Copper Greaves | 5 | 10 Copper Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 180 | 800 | +620 | 9 |
| Iron Greaves | 10 | 10 Iron Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 340 | 64 | -276 | 4 |
| Lead Greaves | 15 | 10 Lead Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 250 | 51 | -199 | 6 |
| Steel Greaves | 25 | 10 Steel Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 290 | 55 | -235 | 6 |
| Mercury Greaves | 35 | 10 Mercury Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 330 | n/a | ||
| Chromite Greaves | 50 | 10 Chromite Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 390 | 92 | -298 | 5 |
| Uranium Greaves | 65 | 10 Uranium Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 460 | 149 | -311 | 1 |
| Mystic Greaves | 70 | 10 Mystic Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 710 | 1,465 | +755 | 2 |
6 of 9 greaves cost less on the market than their materials do. If you only want to wear the piece, buy it. Forging them still makes sense for Forge XP, or when the bars or logs came out of your own gathering.
The ones with a positive margin can be forged for profit, but check the sold-per-day column first. A greaves that sells a handful a day will not take a stack of fifty at the listed price. The money-making rankings flag those thin markets for every skill.
Upgrading
