I have sold the majority of the frozen orbs I’ve had stockpiled to flip for profit back at the start of patch 3.3.3
I still have an additional 100 left and whenever the price goes above 20g each I sell them off, but recently I reevaluated if I am getting the maximum value from each frozen orb.
The top items to convert frozen orbs for profit has usually been:
1. Eternal Fire
2. Eternal Life – Usually the first couple days of the darkmoon faire when everyone is buying out the Eternal Lifes
3. Selling the Frozen orb itself when it goes above the value of 1 & 2
However when moving my mouse across all of the items to check their current market price here is what I noticed:
| Item | # of Frozen Orbs | Market Price | Value Per Orb |
| Runed Orb | 4 | 130g | 32.5g |
| Crusader Orb | 6 | 140g | 23.33g |
| Eternal Fire | 1 | 22.22g | 22.22g |
| Eternal Life | 1 | 20.60g | 20.60g |
| Frost Lotus | 1 | 19g | 19g |
These market prices are averaged out over hundreds of recently seen items. So I decided to test this out and see if they actually sell at a decent rate.
Sales Results
On the first day I posted 1, then 2, then 5 and so on
I sold 10 frozen orbs for an average of 132g which equals 1,320g. If I had sold them individually or converted them to Eternal Fires I would have made only 888.80g, so I made a profit of 431g.
If you have already sold out of all your frozen orbs, check your AH prices and see if runed orbs are going for over 100g each. If they are and you can buy frozen orbs for less than 20g each give this experiment a try and let me know how it goes.
Keep in mind that these don’t sell in large quantities, I am on a medium population server and could sell around 5-8 of these a day (I only had 3-4 other runed orb posts to compete with each time) but if no one else is really taking advantage of this give it a try.

Great tip I’ll keep an eye out . Let’s hope my guild leader isn’t doing it already
Even this long after it was added, ‘Abyssal Shatter’ still makes me a profit on my server. Every once in a while someone posts a stack of abyss crystals for cheap, I buy them up, and wait for the prices of greater eternals to go up a week later, then I can resell them each at the same price as the Abyss Crystals went for. Not a fast turn around, cause you have to wait for the market to go up, but if you watch, it always happens in waves, use that to your advantage.
ye but dust keeps stacking up that way because it’s worth like 10g a stack on my server it’s ridicilous
Make an enchanter and do high end weapon enchants. You’ll burn through so much Infinite Dust you’ll be wishing for more.
It’s working great on my realm but like you said you can only sell a couple per day. 4x frozens around 80 total and runed orb selling at 150-165. Great tip!
Great tip, but i’ve been able to sell 10 per day on my realm, so it does work.
lucky Smitty, there isn’t alot of demand for those orbs on my realm but I have to say i’ve only been looking at the market for a couple of days now.
