Obsidian Seared Alloy quality ranks

| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Obsidian Seared Alloy | 655 gold1 silver | 13 listings, 201 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.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 5 reagents for one craft of Obsidian Seared Alloy cost 885 gold23 silver. Most of that is Khaz'gorite Ore - 8 at 47 gold49 silver each, 379 gold92 silver, 42.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 931 gold82 silver per craft, 465 gold91 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 655 gold1 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 424 gold79 silver; the Auction House would keep 65 gold50 silver of a sale, leaving 359 gold28 silver. That is an estimated 40.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 15.4% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 201 units across 13 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 →
