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, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.
Contract: Artisan's Consortium: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 39% above its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Contract: Artisan's Consortium cost 300 gold45 silver. Most of that is Burnished Ink - 3 at 99 gold90 silver each, 299 gold70 silver, 99.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 316 gold26 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 327 gold85 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 27 gold40 silver; the Auction House would keep 16 gold39 silver of a sale, leaving 11 gold. That is an estimated 3.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 59.8% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 14 units across 5 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 →
