What is Market Analytics?
The Market Analytics page on Idle Clans Hub pulls real-time price data from the Idle Clans market API and analyses it to surface two key opportunities: items that are profitable to produce and sell, and items that are currently underpriced relative to their normal value. Both tables update with each data refresh, giving you current market conditions rather than outdated cached prices.
Profitable Items Table
The Profitable Items table shows items where the sell price on the market exceeds the cost of the materials required to produce them. The profit figure displayed is the margin after subtracting material costs. Use this table to decide which processing skill activity generates the best return for your current session.
Important: profitability changes as players buy and sell. An item that is highly profitable today may be less so tomorrow if many players rush to produce it. Check this table before each major production session rather than relying on older readings.
Underpriced Items Table
The Underpriced Items table identifies items currently listed below their typical market value. This is primarily useful for players who actively trade on the market - buying underpriced items and relisting them at fair value is a low-effort income strategy. The table compares current listed prices against the 24-hour daily average to flag anomalies.
Clan and Potion Bonuses
The Market Analytics page has two toggle options at the top:
- Clan +10%: Enabled by default. Reflects the market sell bonus provided by the "An offer they can't refuse" clan upgrade. Toggle this off if your clan does not have this upgrade.
- Potion +5%: Disabled by default. If you use the Potion of Negotiation from Brewing, enable this to see your actual effective profit with the potion active.
Always configure these toggles to match your actual in-game situation for accurate profit calculations.
Refreshing Data
