About Optional Reagents

Optional Reagents are Trade Goods: region commodities, not per-realm listings. One auction house serves every US realm, so the buyout above is the same price on all of them. There is no cheaper realm to shop for these - only a cheaper hour.

Reading these prices

Each row is the lowest buyout in the most recent snapshot, with the number of units posted behind it. A low price on thin stock empties in one buy order; a low price on deep stock is the real market. Open an item for its price history before you commit gold.
