At lowest listed prices that makes one Ultramarine Ink for 47 silver, against 56 silver listed.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Contract: Storm's Wake cost 140 gold9 silver. Most of that is Crimson Ink - 10 at 13 gold each, 130 gold, 92.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 147 gold46 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 20 gold69 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −119 gold40 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold3 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 120 gold43 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -86.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 186 units across 8 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
