  • Quality: Earthshine Scales 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.

Earthshine Scales quality ranks

Earthshine Scales comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 375.

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.

Earthshine Scales: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 6% 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 Earthshine Scales cost 267 gold47 silver. Most of that is Awakened Frost - 1 at 174 gold99 silver each, 174 gold99 silver, 65.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 281 gold54 silver per craft, 140 gold77 silver per item at 2 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 254 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 240 gold53 silver; the Auction House would keep 25 gold40 silver of a sale, leaving 215 gold13 silver. That is an estimated 80.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 10.6% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 126 units across 15 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
