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
At current lowest listed prices the reagents cost more than the crafted item lists for: an estimated loss of 7 gold54 silver per craft.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 9 gold56 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price (each)
- 1 gold6 silver
- Items per craft

- Listed value of one craft
- 2 gold12 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 10 silver60 copper
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- −7 gold54 silver (-79%)
- Evidence: 9 current listings holding 361 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 92% below its 30-day median of 13 gold8 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below 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: Chromatic Embroidery Thread 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 1 finishing reagent slot, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Chromatic Embroidery Thread quality ranks
Chromatic Embroidery Thread 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 | Chromatic Embroidery Thread | 1 gold6 silver | 9 listings, 361 units |
| Rank 2 | Chromatic Embroidery Thread | 81 silver | 16 listings, 219 units |
| Rank 3 | Chromatic Embroidery Thread | 30 gold54 silver | 11 listings, 380 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.
Chromatic Embroidery Thread: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 92% below 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 2 reagents for one craft of Chromatic Embroidery Thread cost 9 gold56 silver. Most of that is Chromatic Dust - 5 at 1 gold67 silver each, 8 gold35 silver, 87.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 10 gold6 silver per craft, 5 gold3 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 1 gold6 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −7 gold44 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 10 silver60 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 7 gold54 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -78.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 361 units across 9 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 →
