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 gold41 silver | 7 listings, 124 units |
| Rank 2 | Chromatic Embroidery Thread | 27 silver | 10 listings, 257 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 2 reagents for one craft of Chromatic Embroidery Thread cost 29 gold18 silver. Most of that is Chromatic Dust - 5 at 5 gold50 silver each, 27 gold50 silver, 94.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 30 gold71 silver per craft, 15 gold35 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 gold41 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −26 gold36 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 14 silver10 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 26 gold50 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -90.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 124 units across 7 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 →
