  • Evidence: 18 current listings holding 699 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
  • 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: Grotesque Vial 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.

Grotesque Vial quality ranks

Grotesque Vial comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 675.

RankItemLowest listed priceListings (US)
Rank 1Grotesque Vial1 gold8 silver18 listings, 699 units
Rank 2Grotesque Vial1 gold6 silver9 listings, 345 units
Rank 3Grotesque Vial3 gold74 silver7 listings, 38 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.

Grotesque Vial: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 5% 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 5 reagents for one craft of Grotesque Vial cost 76 gold32 silver. Most of that is Mycobloom - 12 at 3 gold50 silver each, 42 gold, 55.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 80 gold33 silver per craft, 16 gold6 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 1 gold8 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −70 gold92 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 27 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 71 gold19 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -93.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 699 units across 18 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 →
