- Evidence: 14 current listings holding 47 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data gives a number that varies from craft to craft, so the estimate counts one item.
- Quality: Decorative Lens 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 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

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.
Decorative Lens: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 28% 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 3 reagents for one craft of Decorative Lens cost 410 gold60 silver. Most of that is Crushed Gemstones - 4 at 99 gold each, 396 gold, 96.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 432 gold21 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 43 gold88 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −366 gold72 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 gold19 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 368 gold91 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -89.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 47 units across 14 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 →
