Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Blazing Ink cost 8 gold49 silver. Most of that is Draconic Vial - 1 at 4 gold90 silver each, 4 gold90 silver, 57.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 8 gold93 silver per craft, 4 gold46 silver per item at 2 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 8 gold11 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 7 gold73 silver; the Auction House would keep 81 silver10 copper of a sale, leaving 6 gold91 silver. That is an estimated 81.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 10.5% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 891 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 →
