Defender's Armor Kit quality ranks
Defender's Armor Kit 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 | Defender's Armor Kit | 184 gold | 10 listings, 58 units |
| Rank 2 | Defender's Armor Kit | 13 gold99 silver | 6 listings, 11 units |
| Rank 3 | Defender's Armor Kit | 69 gold99 silver | 16 listings, 270 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 and 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 3 reagents for one craft of Defender's Armor Kit cost 181 gold84 silver. Most of that is Gloom Chitin - 60 at 1 gold99 silver each, 119 gold40 silver, 65.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 191 gold41 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 184 gold, which does not clear it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2 gold16 silver; the Auction House would keep 9 gold20 silver of a sale, leaving −7 gold4 silver. That is an estimated -3.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 425.9% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 58 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 →
