How to read this
- ◆Case price, Scraps, Elite Case — live market prices right now.
- ◆Sell case (don't open) — what the case fetches on the market unopened.
- ◆Open → sell all drops — the average value of what comes out of one case, at warerastats.io average sell prices (7.28M case sample).
- ◆Open → scrap all drops — every drop valued at what it dismantles into, at the live scraps price (100% state).
- ◆Open → sell or scrap (optimal) — the better of sell or scrap taken per item; custom strategy is the same with your own choice per rarity.
- ◆The small + / − under a row — its difference from selling the case. The Verdict names the best of these and what one opened case gains over selling it.
How to read this: a Wooden Case drops one resource, not gear. The EV is what that resource sells for on average; if the case itself sells for more, sell it shut.
Choose per rarity: sell on market or dismantle for scraps. EV row above updates live.

Craft vs Buy
Is it cheaper to craft an item (scraps + steel) or buy it from the market? Sorted by most savings first.
| Tier | Scraps | Steel | Craft cost | Avg buy | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mythic | 1458 | 32 | €0.000 | €402.507 | +€402.507 |
| Legendary | 486 | 16 | €0.000 | €148.407 | +€148.407 |
| Epic | 162 | 8 | €0.000 | €51.335 | +€51.335 |
| Rare | 54 | 4 | €0.000 | €16.618 | +€16.618 |
| Uncommon | 18 | 2 | €0.000 | €3.992 | +€3.992 |
| Common | 6 | 1 | €0.000 | €1.365 | +€1.365 |
Pick the piece you want. Craft cost is its scraps plus steel at live prices; a named slot costs twice the steel of a random piece.
How to read this: scraps come from dismantling Rare and below; Epic and above are worth more as gear, so they are kept and not counted here. The opens are an average — a single run can need many more.
