Energized Vibrant Emerald quality ranks

Energized Vibrant Emerald comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 60.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Energized Vibrant Emerald	5 gold	17 listings, 34 units
Rank 2	Energized Vibrant Emerald	3 gold78 silver	8 listings, 26 units
Rank 3	Energized Vibrant Emerald	3 gold40 silver	11 listings, 230 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.

Energized Vibrant Emerald: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 89% 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 2 reagents for one craft of Energized Vibrant Emerald cost 27 gold40 silver. Most of that is Rousing Frost - 2 at 13 gold each, 26 gold, 94.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 28 gold84 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 5 gold, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −22 gold40 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 25 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 22 gold65 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -82.7% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 34 units across 17 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 →
