Crystalfused Hide quality ranks

Crystalfused 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	Crystalfused Hide	28 gold40 silver	23 listings, 257 units
Rank 2	Crystalfused Hide	27 gold98 silver	14 listings, 1,422 units
Rank 3	Crystalfused Hide	29 gold99 silver	35 listings, 2,873 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.

Crystalfused Hide: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 35% 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.

Where the reagents come from

Carapace-Backed Hide. Made with Carapace-Backed Hide (Leatherworking, Khaz Algar Leatherworking) from 1 Thunderous Hide, 1 Sunless Carapace, 5 Honed Bone Shards and 5 Mosswool Thread. At lowest listed prices that makes one Carapace-Backed Hide for 5 gold16 silver, against 22 gold80 silver listed. Lowest listed price by quality rank: rank 1 22 gold80 silver, rank 2 12 gold and rank 3 32 gold98 silver. Also a required reagent in 20 other recipes (20 Leatherworking); Well-Lit Incontinental Couch takes the most, 4 per craft.

Crystalline Powder. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 33 other recipes (14 Blacksmithing, 8 Enchanting, 6 Alchemy and 2 Inscription); the most per craft: Artisan Leatherworker's Knife (Blacksmithing, 20 per craft), Crystalline Radiance (Enchanting, 20 per craft), Artisan Leatherworker's Toolset (Blacksmithing, 10 per craft), Council's Intellect (Enchanting, 10 per craft) and Oathsworn's Strength (Enchanting, 10 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Crystalfused Hide cost 23 gold80 silver. Most of that is Carapace-Backed Hide - 1 at 22 gold80 silver each, 22 gold80 silver, 95.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 25 gold5 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 28 gold40 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 4 gold60 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold42 silver of a sale, leaving 3 gold18 silver. That is an estimated 13.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 30.9% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 257 units across 23 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 →
