  • Evidence: 218 current listings holding 211,903 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
  • Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 75% below its 30-day median of 8 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
  • Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
