No real market: only 3 units across 2 auctions region-wide. With this little supply the lowest listing is one asking price rather than a market rate, so treat the estimate above as arithmetic, not an opportunity; a buyer at that price is not established.

  • Evidence: 2 current listings holding 3 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
  • Quality: High Intensity Thermal Scanner 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.
  • Not included: the recipe also accepts 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

High Intensity Thermal Scanner quality ranks

High Intensity Thermal Scanner comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 425.

RankItemLowest listed priceListings (US)
Rank 1High Intensity Thermal Scanner38,000 gold51 silver2 listings, 3 units
Rank 2High Intensity Thermal Scanner195 gold58 silver7 listings, 57 units
Rank 3High Intensity Thermal Scanner3,877 gold6 listings, 10 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.

High Intensity Thermal Scanner: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 22% 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 4 reagents for one craft of High Intensity Thermal Scanner cost 1,106 gold2 silver. Most of that is Arclight Capacitor - 2 at 400 gold each, 800 gold, 72.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 1,164 gold23 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 38,000 gold51 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 36,894 gold49 silver; the Auction House would keep 1,900 gold2 silver of a sale, leaving 34,994 gold46 silver. That is an estimated 3164.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.1% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 3 units across 2 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
