Shadowed Alloy is a reagent in
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 | 1,250 gold93 silver | 4 listings, 71 units |
| Rank 2 | Shadowed Alloy | 497 gold | 16 listings, 1,303 units |
| Rank 3 | Shadowed Alloy | 1,546 gold97 silver | 10 listings, 109 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.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 5 reagents for one craft of Shadowed Alloy cost 470 gold7 silver. Most of that is Awakened Order - 1 at 270 gold each, 270 gold, 57.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 494 gold81 silver per craft, 247 gold40 silver per item at 2 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1,250 gold93 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2,031 gold79 silver; the Auction House would keep 125 gold9 silver of a sale, leaving 1,906 gold69 silver. That is an estimated 405.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.2% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 71 units across 4 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 →
