Quality: Steady Nozdorite 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.

Steady Nozdorite quality ranks

Steady Nozdorite 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	Steady Nozdorite	9 gold	27 listings, 344 units
Rank 2	Steady Nozdorite	97 silver	10 listings, 297 units
Rank 3	Steady Nozdorite	17 gold92 silver	8 listings, 137 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, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Steady Nozdorite: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 4.5 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.

Now: 9 gold
30-day low: 50 silver Aug 31

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Steady Nozdorite cost 150 gold19 silver. Most of that is Awakened Frost - 1 at 147 gold19 silver each, 147 gold19 silver, 98.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 158 gold9 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 9 gold, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −141 gold19 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 45 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 141 gold64 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -94.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 344 units across 27 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 →
