- 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.

Phial of Icy Preservation quality ranks

|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 6 gold33 silver | 13 listings, 47 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.

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.
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 →
