The armor catalog mirrors Blizzard's in-game inventory taxonomy. Cloth covers caster classes; leather covers rogues, druids, and demon hunters; mail covers shamans and hunters; plate covers warriors, paladins, and death knights. Each subclass page lists every piece in that armor type, with item level, required level, quality tier, and inventory slot all visible at a glance.
Click any piece to open the price history page. Current prices, historical trends, and per-realm depth all appear there. The chart toggles between hourly, daily, and weekly resolution depending on the time range you pick — a one-day view shows individual snapshots, while a one-year view aggregates into daily candles so the trend stays readable. Switch between Retail, Mists of Pandaria Classic, and Burning Crusade Classic at the top of the page to compare the same piece across game versions when the item exists in more than one.
Armor prices typically follow predictable patterns. New crafted gear spikes when the patch lands and the recipe is rare; commodity pieces like bind-on-equip greens settle into a low-volatility floor; rare drops move with the popularity of the dungeon they come from. The history charts surface those patterns cleanly so you can decide whether a current listing is a deal or a wait. The catalog is purely a research tool — we publish prices, you decide what to do with them.
Pricing for Retail comes from the official Blizzard auction-house API, refreshed every hour. Pricing for MoP Classic and TBC Classic comes from TradeSkillMaster, with MoP refreshing weekly and TBC refreshing hourly. The chart's lastmod stamp on every detail page shows when the most recent snapshot landed so you can tell at a glance whether the data is fresh.
