Shimmering Embroidery Thread quality ranks
Shimmering Embroidery Thread comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 300.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Shimmering Embroidery Thread | 30 gold55 silver | 10 listings, 176 units |
| Rank 2 | Shimmering Embroidery Thread | 7 gold20 silver | 9 listings, 3,700 units |
| Rank 3 | Shimmering Embroidery Thread | 28 gold49 silver | 11 listings, 370 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.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Shimmering Embroidery Thread cost 7 gold45 silver. Most of that is Silken Gemdust - 1 at 6 gold24 silver each, 6 gold24 silver, 83.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 7 gold84 silver per craft, 3 gold92 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 30 gold55 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 53 gold65 silver; the Auction House would keep 3 gold5 silver of a sale, leaving 50 gold59 silver. That is an estimated 679.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 176 units across 10 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 →
