Leyfused Hide quality ranks

Leyfused Hide comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 400.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Leyfused Hide	31 gold99 silver	16 listings, 93 units
Rank 2	Leyfused Hide	25 gold6 silver	32 listings, 398 units
Rank 3	Leyfused Hide	39 gold	28 listings, 346 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.

Leyfused Hide: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 32% 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.

Where the reagents come from

Carapace-Backed Hide. Made with Carapace-Backed Hide (Leatherworking, Khaz Algar Leatherworking) from 1 Thunderous Hide, 1 Sunless Carapace, 5 Honed Bone Shards and 5 Mosswool Thread. At lowest listed prices that makes one Carapace-Backed Hide for 5 gold71 silver, against 18 gold45 silver listed. Lowest listed price by quality rank: rank 1 18 gold45 silver, rank 2 11 gold74 silver and rank 3 56 gold26 silver. Also a required reagent in 20 other recipes (20 Leatherworking); Well-Lit Incontinental Couch takes the most, 6 per craft.

Leyline Residue. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 52 other recipes (29 Enchanting, 10 Inscription, 8 Tailoring and 3 Alchemy); the most per craft: Algari Mana Oil (Enchanting, 10 per craft), Algari Missive of Crafting Speed (Inscription, 5 per craft), Algari Missive of Deftness (Inscription, 5 per craft), Algari Missive of Finesse (Inscription, 5 per craft) and Algari Missive of Ingenuity (Inscription, 5 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Leyfused Hide cost 28 gold20 silver. Most of that is Carapace-Backed Hide - 1 at 18 gold45 silver each, 18 gold45 silver, 65.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 29 gold68 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 31 gold99 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 3 gold79 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold59 silver of a sale, leaving 2 gold19 silver. That is an estimated 7.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 42.2% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 93 units across 16 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 →
