Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings

- −13 gold4 silver (-14%)
- Evidence: 28 current listings holding 524 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 82 times its 30-day median of 50 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Buzzing Rune 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.

Buzzing Rune quality ranks
Buzzing Rune comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 300.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 41 gold3 silver | 28 listings, 524 units | |
| Rank 2 | 40 gold | 19 listings, 743 units | |
| Rank 3 | 3 gold98 silver | 42 listings, 1,684 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.
Buzzing Rune: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 82 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 1 reagent for one craft of Buzzing Rune cost 91 gold.
Break-even is 95 gold78 silver per craft, 47 gold89 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 41 gold3 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −8 gold94 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 4 gold10 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 13 gold4 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -14.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 524 units across 28 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 →
