  • Evidence: 29 current listings holding 526 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 72% below its 30-day median of 36 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: Buzzing Rune 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 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Buzzing Rune cost 54 gold33 silver.

Break-even is 57 gold18 silver per craft, 28 gold59 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 10 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −54 gold13 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 54 gold14 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -99.7% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 526 units across 29 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
