Safety Switch quality ranks
Safety Switch comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 410.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Safety Switch | 21 gold73 silver | 29 listings, 533 units |
| Rank 2 | Safety Switch | 24 gold49 silver | 38 listings, 6,793 units |
| Rank 3 | Safety Switch | 99 gold | 29 listings, 3,714 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.
Safety Switch: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 33% 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 3 reagents for one craft of Safety Switch cost 28 gold62 silver. Most of that is Bismuth - 5 at 4 gold98 silver each, 24 gold90 silver, 87.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 30 gold12 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 21 gold73 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −6 gold89 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold8 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 7 gold97 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -27.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 533 units across 29 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 →
