Draconic Missive of Ingenuity
Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 220 gold63 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 305 gold52 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 15 gold27 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 69 gold61 silver
No real market: only 3 units across 2 auctions region-wide. With this little supply the lowest listing is one asking price rather than a market rate, so treat the estimate above as arithmetic, not an opportunity; a buyer at that price is not established.
- Evidence: 2 current listings holding 3 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 3.1 times its 30-day median of 97 gold26 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Quality: Draconic Missive of Ingenuity 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.

Draconic Missive of Ingenuity quality ranks
Draconic Missive of Ingenuity comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 275.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Draconic Missive of Ingenuity | 305 gold52 silver | 2 listings, 3 units |
| Rank 2 | Draconic Missive of Ingenuity | 50 gold | 12 listings, 49 units |
| Rank 3 | Draconic Missive of Ingenuity | 108 gold90 silver | 14 listings, 68 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.
Draconic Missive of Ingenuity: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 3.1 times 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 Draconic Missive of Ingenuity cost 220 gold63 silver. Most of that is Chilled Rune - 1 at 200 gold33 silver each, 200 gold33 silver, 90.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 232 gold24 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 305 gold52 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 84 gold89 silver; the Auction House would keep 15 gold27 silver of a sale, leaving 69 gold61 silver. That is an estimated 31.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 18.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 3 units across 2 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 →
