- Quality: Greased-Up Gears 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.

Greased-Up Gears quality ranks
Greased-Up Gears comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 250.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Greased-Up Gears | 43 gold | 27 listings, 415 units |
| Rank 2 | Greased-Up Gears | 60 gold9 silver | 25 listings, 771 units |
| Rank 3 | Greased-Up Gears | 39 gold | 15 listings, 8,600 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 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.
Greased-Up Gears: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 9% below 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 3 reagents for one craft of Greased-Up Gears cost 56 gold10 silver. Most of that is Rousing Fire - 3 at 14 gold each, 42 gold, 74.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 59 gold5 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 43 gold, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −13 gold10 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 gold15 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 15 gold25 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -27.2% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 415 units across 27 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 →
