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 1Frameless Lens12 gold34 listings, 2,241 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.
