- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 594 gold65 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 22 gold
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 1 gold10 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- −573 gold75 silver (-96%)
- Evidence: 13 current listings holding 25 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 88% below its 30-day median of 180 gold50 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
- Quality: Armor Spikes comes in 3 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.
- Not included: the recipe also accepts 1 finishing reagent slot, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Armor Spikes cost 594 gold65 silver. Most of that is Awakened Fire - 3 at 147 gold55 silver each, 442 gold65 silver, 74.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 625 gold94 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 22 gold, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −572 gold65 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold10 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 573 gold75 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -96.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 25 units across 13 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 →
