Mirror Powder quality ranks
Mirror Powder comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 480.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Mirror Powder | 54 gold94 silver | 50 listings, 169 units |
| Rank 2 | Mirror Powder | 45 gold | 15 listings, 514 units |
| Rank 3 | Mirror Powder | 127 gold | 18 listings, 518 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.
Mirror Powder: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 39% above 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 Mirror Powder cost 43 gold93 silver. Most of that is Storm Dust - 3 at 7 gold88 silver each, 23 gold64 silver, 53.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 46 gold24 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 54 gold94 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 11 gold1 silver; the Auction House would keep 2 gold74 silver of a sale, leaving 8 gold26 silver. That is an estimated 18.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 25.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 169 units across 50 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 →
