About Cosmic Ink
Cosmic Ink is a crafting material in World of Warcraft. This page tracks its verified Auction House price and the recipes that consume it, so you can judge whether it is worth farming, buying, or selling right now.
Demand comes from Inscription. When a recipe that uses Cosmic Ink spikes in value, the material tends to follow, so watch the recipes above alongside the price history.
