Carrion Surprise
Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 1 gold14 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 3 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 1 gold24 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 6 silver20 copper
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 1 gold14 silver (+3827%)
- Evidence: 13 current listings holding 165 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 72% below its 30-day median of 4 gold40 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

Where the reagents come from
Mystery Meat. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 2 other recipes (2 Cooking); Dragonbreath Chili takes the most, 1 per craft.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Carrion Surprise cost 3 silver.
Break-even is 3 silver16 copper - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold24 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 1 gold21 silver; the Auction House would keep 6 silver20 copper of a sale, leaving 1 gold14 silver. That is an estimated 3826.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 165 units across 13 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 →
