Projection Prism is a reagent in
Projection Prism quality ranks
Projection Prism comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 225.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Projection Prism | 341 gold55 silver | 9 listings, 170 units |
| Rank 2 | Projection Prism | 69 gold26 silver | 6 listings, 350 units |
| Rank 3 | Projection Prism | 60 gold90 silver | 25 listings, 6,465 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 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.
Projection Prism: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 2% 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 3 reagents for one craft of Projection Prism cost 54 gold36 silver. Most of that is Frameless Lens - 1 at 28 gold52 silver each, 28 gold52 silver, 52.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 57 gold22 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 341 gold55 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 287 gold19 silver; the Auction House would keep 17 gold7 silver of a sale, leaving 270 gold11 silver. That is an estimated 496.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.9% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 170 units across 9 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 →
