Crafting estimate at current listings

Thin market: the crafted item’s lowest listing comes from very few current listings and sits far out of line with reagent cost. Treat this estimate as unverified until more listings accrue.
- Evidence: 4 current listings holding 12 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 75% below its 30-day median of 19,979 gold9 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Brood Salt 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.

Brood Salt quality ranks
Brood Salt comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 300.
| Rank | Item | Lowest listed price | Listings (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Brood Salt | 4,998 gold92 silver | 4 listings, 12 units |
| Rank 2 | Brood Salt | 3 gold33 silver | 17 listings, 165 units |
| Rank 3 | Brood Salt | 89 silver | 46 listings, 322 units |
The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here. Right now rank 1 lists above rank 2 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Brood Salt cost 106 gold26 silver. Most of that is Awakened Frost - 1 at 95 gold94 silver each, 95 gold94 silver, 90.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 111 gold85 silver per craft, 55 gold92 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 4,998 gold92 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 9,891 gold58 silver; the Auction House would keep 499 gold89 silver of a sale, leaving 9,391 gold68 silver. That is an estimated 8838.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 12 units across 4 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 →
