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 | 18 gold45 silver | 21 listings, 205 units |
| Rank 2 | Carapace-Backed Hide | 11 gold63 silver | 29 listings, 1,821 units |
| Rank 3 | Carapace-Backed Hide | 59 gold22 silver | 31 listings, 692 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 5 gold19 silver. Most of that is Honed Bone Shards - 5 at 70 silver each, 3 gold50 silver, 67.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 5 gold46 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 18 gold45 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 13 gold26 silver; the Auction House would keep 92 silver25 copper of a sale, leaving 12 gold33 silver. That is an estimated 237.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 7.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 205 units across 21 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 →
