Flourishing Ink quality ranks
Flourishing Ink comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 80.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Flourishing Ink | 66 gold50 silver | 15 listings, 856 units |
| Rank 2 | Flourishing Ink | 80 gold36 silver | 15 listings, 409 units |
| Rank 3 | Flourishing Ink | 44 gold99 silver | 18 listings, 2,604 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 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 4 reagents for one craft of Flourishing Ink cost 78 gold95 silver. Most of that is Flourishing Pigment - 1 at 69 gold23 silver each, 69 gold23 silver, 87.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 83 gold10 silver per craft, 41 gold55 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 66 gold50 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 54 gold5 silver; the Auction House would keep 6 gold65 silver of a sale, leaving 47 gold40 silver. That is an estimated 60.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 12.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 856 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.
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 →
