Frameless Lens quality ranks
Frameless Lens comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 300.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 12 gold | 34 listings, 2,241 units | |
| Rank 2 | 9 gold55 silver | 39 listings, 10,873 units | |
| Rank 3 | 19 gold | 41 listings, 10,567 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, 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 3 reagents for one craft of Frameless Lens cost 14 gold94 silver. Most of that is Silken Gemdust - 2 at 3 gold28 silver each, 6 gold56 silver, 43.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 15 gold72 silver per craft, 7 gold86 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 12 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 9 gold6 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold20 silver of a sale, leaving 7 gold86 silver. That is an estimated 52.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 13.2% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 2,241 units across 34 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 →
