Crafty Queen's Ruby quality ranks

Crafty Queen's Ruby comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 60.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Crafty Queen's Ruby	2 gold63 silver	10 listings, 25 units
Rank 2	Crafty Queen's Ruby	9 gold	10 listings, 104 units
Rank 3	Crafty Queen's Ruby	1 gold40 silver	10 listings, 142 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 3, 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 Crafty Queen's Ruby cost 19 gold70 silver. Most of that is Rousing Air - 2 at 8 gold90 silver each, 17 gold80 silver, 90.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 20 gold73 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 2 gold63 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −17 gold7 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 13 silver15 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 17 gold20 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -87.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 25 units across 10 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 →
