Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.

- 100 gold5 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price (each)
- 999 gold16 silver

- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 1,798 gold35 silver
No real market: only 21 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 21 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Hissing Rune 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.

Hissing Rune quality ranks
Hissing Rune 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 | Hissing Rune | 999 gold16 silver | 2 listings, 21 units |
| Rank 2 | Hissing Rune | 3 gold21 silver | 19 listings, 501 units |
| Rank 3 | Hissing Rune | 75 silver | 62 listings, 1,720 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.
Where the reagents come from
Chilled Rune. Made with Chilled Rune (Inscription, Dragon Isles Inscription) from 1 
Serene Ink and 5 
Rousing Frost. At lowest listed prices that makes one Chilled Rune for 51 gold5 silver, against 100 gold5 silver listed. Lowest listed price by quality rank: rank 1 100 gold5 silver, rank 2 68 gold7 silver and rank 3 97 gold90 silver. Also a required reagent in 40 other recipes (40 Inscription); Illuminating Pillar of the Isles takes the most, 8 per craft.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Hissing Rune cost 100 gold5 silver.
Break-even is 105 gold31 silver per craft, 52 gold65 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 999 gold16 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 1,898 gold27 silver; the Auction House would keep 99 gold91 silver of a sale, leaving 1,798 gold35 silver. That is an estimated 1797.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 21 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.
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 →
