- Evidence: 11 current listings holding 32 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 3.9 times its 30-day median of 9 gold15 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 5 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Bottled Putrescence 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.

Bottled Putrescence quality ranks
Bottled Putrescence comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 450.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 35 gold68 silver | 11 listings, 32 units | |
| Rank 2 | 10 gold | 13 listings, 94 units | |
| Rank 3 | 141 gold97 silver | 6 listings, 40 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.
Bottled Putrescence: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 3.9 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 4 reagents for one craft of Bottled Putrescence cost 241 gold89 silver. Most of that is Awakened Air - 1 at 138 gold94 silver each, 138 gold94 silver, 57.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 254 gold62 silver per craft, 50 gold92 silver per item at 5 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 35 gold68 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −63 gold49 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 8 gold92 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 72 gold41 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -29.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 32 units across 11 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 →
