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 the reagents cost more than the crafted item lists for: an estimated loss of 1,036 gold21 silver per craft.

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 1,078 gold96 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 45 gold
Auction House cut (5%): 2 gold25 silver
Estimated profit at that listed price: −1,036 gold21 silver (-96%)

Evidence: 25 current listings holding 146 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 91% below its 30-day median of 499 gold99 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
Quality: Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope 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.

Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope quality ranks

Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 425.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope	45 gold	25 listings, 146 units
Rank 2	Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope	95 gold	12 listings, 35 units
Rank 3	Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope	1,390 gold98 silver	12 listings, 23 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.

Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 15% above 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 4 reagents for one craft of Gyroscopic Kaleidoscope cost 1,078 gold96 silver. Most of that is Arclight Capacitor - 2 at 400 gold each, 800 gold, 74.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 1,135 gold74 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 45 gold, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1,033 gold96 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 gold25 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 1,036 gold21 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -96.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 146 units across 25 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 →
