Sifted Cave Sand quality ranks
Sifted Cave Sand comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 305.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Sifted Cave Sand | 151 gold27 silver | 12 listings, 64 units |
| Rank 2 | Sifted Cave Sand | 13 gold72 silver | 18 listings, 80 units |
| Rank 3 | Sifted Cave Sand | 66 gold6 silver | 17 listings, 364 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 1 reagent for one craft of Sifted Cave Sand cost 120 gold.
Break-even is 126 gold31 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 151 gold27 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 31 gold27 silver; the Auction House would keep 7 gold56 silver of a sale, leaving 23 gold70 silver. That is an estimated 19.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 24.2% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 64 units across 12 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 →
