Carapace-Backed Hide quality ranks
Carapace-Backed Hide comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 400.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Carapace-Backed Hide | 24 gold | 12 listings, 163 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, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Carapace-Backed Hide cost 6 gold48 silver. Most of that is Honed Bone Shards - 5 at 1 gold each, 5 gold, 77.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 6 gold82 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 24 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 17 gold52 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold20 silver of a sale, leaving 16 gold32 silver. That is an estimated 251.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.8% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 163 units across 12 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 →
