Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Adept's Elixir cost 4 gold19 silver. Most of that is Dreamfoil - 1 at 2 gold23 silver each, 2 gold23 silver, 53.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 4 gold41 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 2 gold96 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 1 gold23 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 14 silver80 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 1 gold37 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -32.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 677 units across 21 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
