Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Contract: Voldunai cost 85 gold38 silver. Most of that is Crimson Ink - 5 at 15 gold25 silver each, 76 gold25 silver, 89.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 89 gold87 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 100 gold10 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 14 gold72 silver; the Auction House would keep 5 gold of a sale, leaving 9 gold71 silver. That is an estimated 11.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 34.0% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 48 units across 9 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 →
