- Evidence: 13 current listings holding 137 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 5.0 times its 30-day median of 20 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 5 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Banquet of the Pot cost 424 gold29 silver. Most of that is 100 Year Soy Sauce - 1 at 249 gold99 silver each, 249 gold99 silver, 58.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 446 gold62 silver per craft, 89 gold32 silver 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’s lowest listed price is 99 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −419 gold34 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 24 silver75 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 419 gold58 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -98.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 137 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 →
