Thalassian Missive of Perception quality ranks

Thalassian Missive of Perception comes in 2 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 725.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)

Rank 2	Thalassian Missive of Perception	30 gold	33 listings, 149 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.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Thalassian Missive of Perception cost 62 gold88 silver. Most of that is Sienna Ink - 2 at 18 gold7 silver each, 36 gold14 silver, 57.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 66 gold18 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 208 gold83 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 145 gold95 silver; the Auction House would keep 10 gold44 silver of a sale, leaving 135 gold50 silver. That is an estimated 215.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 7.2% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 740 units across 57 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 →
