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
No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 80 gold90 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 33,333 gold33 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 1,666 gold66 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 31,585 gold76 silver
Thin market: the crafted item’s lowest listing comes from very few current listings and sits far out of line with reagent cost. Treat this estimate as unverified until more listings accrue.
- Evidence: 10 current listings holding 45 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 339 times its 30-day median of 98 gold46 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Quality: Chilled Rune 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 1 finishing reagent slot, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Chilled Rune quality ranks
Chilled Rune comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 260.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Chilled Rune | 33,333 gold33 silver | 10 listings, 45 units |
| Rank 2 | Chilled Rune | 92 gold3 silver | 15 listings, 1,360 units |
| Rank 3 | Chilled Rune | 154 gold38 silver | 13 listings, 305 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 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.
Chilled Rune: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 339 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 2 reagents for one craft of Chilled Rune cost 80 gold90 silver. Most of that is Rousing Frost - 5 at 14 gold20 silver each, 71 gold, 87.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 85 gold15 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 33,333 gold33 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 33,252 gold43 silver; the Auction House would keep 1,666 gold66 silver of a sale, leaving 31,585 gold76 silver. That is an estimated 39043.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 45 units across 10 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 →
