Oil of Deep Toxins quality ranks

Oil of Deep Toxins comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 480.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Oil of Deep Toxins	2 gold85 silver	20 listings, 278 units
Rank 2	Oil of Deep Toxins	1 gold93 silver	19 listings, 645 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.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Oil of Deep Toxins cost 84 gold. Most of that is Storm Dust - 10 at 7 gold each, 70 gold, 83.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 88 gold42 silver per craft, 17 gold68 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 2 gold85 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −69 gold75 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 71 silver25 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 70 gold46 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -83.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 278 units across 20 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 →
