  • 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.

RankItemLowest listed priceListings (US)
Rank 1Bottled Putrescence35 gold68 silver11 listings, 32 units

Rank 3Bottled Putrescence141 gold97 silver6 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.

Hochenblume. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Lowest listed price by quality rank: rank 1 55 silver, rank 2 72 silver and rank 3 75 silver.

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.
