Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Contract: The Hara'ti cost 30 gold47 silver. Most of that is Sienna Ink - 1 at 18 gold77 silver each, 18 gold77 silver, 61.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 32 gold7 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 10 gold86 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −19 gold61 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 54 silver30 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 20 gold15 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -66.1% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 127 units across 22 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 →
