836g in reagents at today's KR auction prices, over about 84 crafts. Sell the results and it comes back to 836g.

Why does the route change when I reload?

Because the prices did. The cheapest recipe for a stretch of skill is whichever one's reagents are cheapest at that moment, and that moves through the day.
