- Evidence: 13 current listings holding 465 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 83% below its 30-day median of 22 gold22 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Shimmering Embroidery Thread comes in 3 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.
- Not included: the recipe also accepts 1 finishing reagent slot, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Shimmering Embroidery Thread cost 4 gold52 silver. Most of that is Silken Gemdust - 1 at 3 gold28 silver each, 3 gold28 silver, 72.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 4 gold75 silver per craft, 2 gold37 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 3 gold74 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2 gold96 silver; the Auction House would keep 37 silver40 copper of a sale, leaving 2 gold58 silver. That is an estimated 57.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 12.6% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 465 units across 13 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 →
