  • Evidence: 17 current listings holding 47 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 68 gold, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
  • Quality: Sporecoated Hide 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 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Sporecoated Hide quality ranks

Sporecoated Hide comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 400.

RankItemLowest listed priceListings (US)
Rank 1Sporecoated Hide224 gold95 silver17 listings, 47 units
Rank 2Sporecoated Hide44 gold53 silver10 listings, 110 units
Rank 3Sporecoated Hide119 gold76 silver17 listings, 570 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.

Sporecoated Hide: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 3.3 times 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 Sporecoated Hide cost 76 gold80 silver. Most of that is Viridescent Spores - 5 at 10 gold80 silver each, 54 gold, 70.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 80 gold84 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 224 gold95 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 148 gold15 silver; the Auction House would keep 11 gold24 silver of a sale, leaving 136 gold90 silver. That is an estimated 178.3% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 7.6% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 47 units across 17 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 →
