Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Bold Primordial Ruby cost 5 gold15 silver.

Break-even is 5 gold42 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 11 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 5 gold85 silver; the Auction House would keep 55 silver of a sale, leaving 5 gold30 silver. That is an estimated 102.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 9.4% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 105 units across 14 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 →
