Read from the World of Warcraft client build files.
Recipe: Clam Chowder teaches the Classic Cooking recipe Clam Chowder, which makes Clam Chowder. At the lowest US listings, the reagents for one craft cost 20s, and Clam Meat is the largest share at 95%. Clam Chowder lists from 4g 20s each, so one craft sold at that price returns 3g 79s after the 5% auction cut, a 1,895% margin over its reagents. At that return, the lowest listing for Recipe: Clam Chowder itself (1g, the lowest of 68 realms listing it) is paid back after 1 craft. It turns yellow at Classic Cooking skill 130 and grey at 170.
