Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Contract: 7th Legion cost 146 gold52 silver. Most of that is Crimson Ink - 10 at 13 gold75 silver each, 137 gold50 silver, 93.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 154 gold23 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold79 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −144 gold73 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 8 silver95 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 144 gold81 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -98.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
