Blazing Ink quality ranks
Blazing Ink comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 80.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Blazing Ink | 17 gold | 25 listings, 824 units |
| Rank 2 | Blazing Ink | 9 gold50 silver | 19 listings, 1,750 units |
| Rank 3 | Blazing Ink | 9 gold75 silver | 12 listings, 1,498 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.
Blazing Ink: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 42% above 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 4 reagents for one craft of Blazing Ink cost 20 gold43 silver. Most of that is Shimmering Pigment - 2 at 4 gold75 silver each, 9 gold50 silver, 46.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 21 gold50 silver per craft, 10 gold75 silver per item at 2 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 17 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 13 gold57 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold70 silver of a sale, leaving 11 gold87 silver. That is an estimated 58.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 12.5% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 824 units across 25 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 →
