- Evidence: 5 current listings holding 22 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Quality: Tinker: Polarity Amplifier 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.

Tinker: Polarity Amplifier quality ranks
Tinker: Polarity Amplifier comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 425.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Tinker: Polarity Amplifier | 199 gold99 silver | 5 listings, 22 units |
| Rank 2 | Tinker: Polarity Amplifier | 9 gold88 silver | 10 listings, 18 units |
| Rank 3 | Tinker: Polarity Amplifier | 5,000 gold51 silver | 3 listings, 8 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.
Tinker: Polarity Amplifier: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 100% 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 5 reagents for one craft of Tinker: Polarity Amplifier cost 785 gold19 silver. Most of that is Arclight Capacitor - 1 at 400 gold each, 400 gold, 50.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 826 gold51 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 199 gold99 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −585 gold20 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 9 gold99 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 595 gold19 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -75.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 22 units across 5 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 →
