Potion of Withering Vitality is a reagent in
Potion of Withering Vitality quality ranks
Potion of Withering Vitality comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 450.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 300 gold92 silver | 8 listings, 35 units | |
| Rank 2 | 173 gold92 silver | 7 listings, 116 units | |
| Rank 3 | 48 gold | 9 listings, 71 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.
Potion of Withering Vitality: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 28% 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 4 reagents for one craft of Potion of Withering Vitality cost 642 gold37 silver. Most of that is Writhebark - 10 at 46 gold each, 460 gold, 71.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 676 gold17 silver per craft, 135 gold23 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 300 gold92 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 862 gold23 silver; the Auction House would keep 75 gold23 silver of a sale, leaving 787 gold. That is an estimated 122.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 35 units across 8 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 →
