Masterful Onyx quality ranks
Masterful Onyx comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 370.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Masterful Onyx | 1,815 gold25 silver | 14 listings, 34 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.
Masterful Onyx: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 2.6 times 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 3 reagents for one craft of Masterful Onyx cost 3,017 gold94 silver. Most of that is Crushed Gemstones - 30 at 99 gold each, 2,970 gold, 98.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 3,176 gold77 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1,815 gold25 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1,202 gold69 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 90 gold76 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 1,293 gold45 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -42.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 34 units across 14 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 →
