Shimmering Clasp quality ranks

Shimmering Clasp comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 200.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Shimmering Clasp	15 gold	46 listings, 915 units
Rank 2	Shimmering Clasp	9 gold80 silver	23 listings, 866 units
Rank 3	Shimmering Clasp	13 gold85 silver	74 listings, 4,157 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.

Shimmering Clasp: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 36% 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 2 reagents for one craft of Shimmering Clasp cost 2 gold45 silver. Most of that is Mystic Sapphire - 1 at 1 gold85 silver each, 1 gold85 silver, 75.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 2 gold57 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 15 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 12 gold55 silver; the Auction House would keep 75 silver of a sale, leaving 11 gold80 silver. That is an estimated 481.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.0% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 915 units across 46 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 →
