Where the reagents come from
Copper Bar. Made with Smelt Copper (Mining, Classic Mining) from 1 
Copper Ore. At lowest listed prices that makes one Copper Bar for 2 gold24 silver, against 2 gold35 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 39 other recipes (24 Blacksmithing, 7 Engineering, 6 Jewelcrafting and 1 Mining); Ironforge Breastplate takes the most, 16 per craft.
Weak Flux. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 13 other recipes (13 Blacksmithing); the most per craft: Big Bronze Knife (Blacksmithing, 4 per craft), Bronze Axe (Blacksmithing, 4 per craft), Bronze Mace (Blacksmithing, 4 per craft), Bronze Shortsword (Blacksmithing, 4 per craft) and Copper Battle Axe (Blacksmithing, 2 per craft).
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Copper Tube cost 4 gold72 silver. Most of that is Copper Bar - 2 at 2 gold35 silver each, 4 gold70 silver, 99.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 4 gold96 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item has no current Auction House listing to compare it against, so the estimate above is left unknown rather than guessed.
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 →
