Shadowed Alloy quality ranks

Shadowed Alloy comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 325.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Shadowed Alloy	1,700 gold78 silver	6 listings, 50 units
Rank 2	Shadowed Alloy	189 gold99 silver	13 listings, 774 units
Rank 3	Shadowed Alloy	530 gold98 silver	12 listings, 176 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.
