Where the reagents come from
Succulent Clam Meat. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 1 other recipe (1 Cooking); Dalaran Clam Chowder takes the most, 2 per craft.
Mote of Shadow. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it.
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Bad Clams cost 2 gold82 silver. Most of that is Mote of Shadow - 1 at 1 gold97 silver each, 1 gold97 silver, 69.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 2 gold96 silver per craft, 59 silver37 copper per item at 5 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item has no current Auction House listing to compare it against, so the estimate above is left unknown rather than guessed.
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 →
