Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Arcane Dust cost 169 gold.
Break-even is 177 gold89 silver per craft, 59 gold29 silver per item at 3 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 2 gold35 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −161 gold95 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 35 silver25 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 162 gold30 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -96.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 61,972 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 →
