Reinforced Machine Chassis quality ranks

Reinforced Machine Chassis comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 300.

RankItemLowest listed priceListings (US)
Rank 1Reinforced Machine Chassis243 gold20 silver16 listings, 42 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.

Reinforced Machine Chassis: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 57% 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.
