Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Adjustable Framework cost 17 gold95 silver. Most of that is Core Alloy - 1 at 17 gold75 silver each, 17 gold75 silver, 98.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 18 gold89 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 19 gold80 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 1 gold85 silver; the Auction House would keep 99 silver of a sale, leaving 86 silver. That is an estimated 4.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 53.5% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 2,632 units across 32 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 →
