Quick Emerald quality ranks
Quick Emerald 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 1 | Quick Emerald | 490 gold74 silver | 8 listings, 20 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.
Quick Emerald: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 10% 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 Quick Emerald cost 555 gold79 silver. Most of that is Crushed Gemstones - 30 at 17 gold1 silver each, 510 gold30 silver, 91.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 585 gold4 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 490 gold74 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −65 gold5 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 24 gold53 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 89 gold58 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -16.1% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 20 units across 8 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 →
