Draconic Missive of Perception quality ranks

Draconic Missive of Perception 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 Perception	205 gold	14 listings, 26 units
Rank 2	Draconic Missive of Perception	44 gold44 silver	18 listings, 212 units
Rank 3	Draconic Missive of Perception	10 gold90 silver	16 listings, 229 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 Perception: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 63% 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.

Listing depth right now: 26 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 →
