Shining Spellthread
Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 1 gold48 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 9 gold92 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 12 gold
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 60 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 1 gold48 silver (+15%)
- Evidence: 7 current listings holding 17 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 3.3 times its 30-day median of 3 gold67 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Shining Spellthread cost 9 gold92 silver. Most of that is Crystallized Life - 2 at 3 gold96 silver each, 7 gold92 silver, 79.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 10 gold44 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 12 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2 gold8 silver; the Auction House would keep 60 silver of a sale, leaving 1 gold48 silver. That is an estimated 14.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 28.8% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 17 units across 7 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 →
