- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 3.6 times its 30-day median of 1,000 gold, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Quality: Algari Missive of Deftness comes in 3 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.
- Not included: the recipe also accepts 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Algari Missive of Deftness quality ranks
Algari Missive of Deftness comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 565.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Algari Missive of Deftness | 3,612 gold12 silver | 7 listings, 32 units |
| Rank 2 | Algari Missive of Deftness | 48 gold97 silver | 8 listings, 56 units |
| Rank 3 | Algari Missive of Deftness | 498 gold63 silver | 9 listings, 85 units |
The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here. Right now rank 1 lists above rank 2 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.
Algari Missive of Deftness: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 3.6 times its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 5 reagents for one craft of Algari Missive of Deftness cost 95 gold25 silver. Most of that is Boundless Cipher - 1 at 74 gold1 silver each, 74 gold1 silver, 77.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 100 gold26 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 3,612 gold12 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 3,516 gold87 silver; the Auction House would keep 180 gold60 silver of a sale, leaving 3,336 gold26 silver. That is an estimated 3502.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 32 units across 7 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
Costs use each reagent’s lowest listed price; the estimate is the crafted item’s lowest listed price, times the items one craft makes, minus those reagents and Blizzard’s 5% sale cut. Listings are asking prices, not sales. Recalculated every snapshot and left blank rather than guessed when a price is missing. How we estimate crafting profit →
