  • Evidence: 13 current listings holding 47 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 6.3 times its 30-day median of 1 gold, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
  • Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
  • Quality: Phial of Icy Preservation 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.

Phial of Icy Preservation quality ranks

Phial of Icy Preservation comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 450.

RankItemLowest listed priceListings (US)
Rank 1Phial of Icy Preservation6 gold33 silver13 listings, 47 units
Rank 2Phial of Icy Preservation1 gold98 silver9 listings, 428 units
Rank 3Phial of Icy Preservation3 gold32 silver6 listings, 11 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.

Phial of Icy Preservation: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 6.3 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 4 reagents for one craft of Phial of Icy Preservation cost 192 gold3 silver. Most of that is Awakened Frost - 1 at 128 gold97 silver each, 128 gold97 silver, 67.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 202 gold13 silver per craft, 101 gold6 silver per item at 2 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 6 gold33 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −179 gold37 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 63 silver30 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 180 gold at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -93.7% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 47 units across 13 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
