Marbled Stone quality ranks

Marbled Stone comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 305.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Marbled Stone	8 gold44 silver	35 listings, 3,228 units
Rank 2	Marbled Stone	8 gold97 silver	51 listings, 6,966 units
Rank 3	Marbled Stone	5 gold65 silver	58 listings, 3,022 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 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Marbled Stone: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 6% 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 2 reagents for one craft of Marbled Stone cost 18 gold15 silver. Most of that is Bismuth - 3 at 5 gold85 silver each, 17 gold55 silver, 96.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 19 gold10 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 8 gold44 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −9 gold71 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 42 silver20 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 10 gold13 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -55.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 3,228 units across 35 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 →
