Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Cosmic Protoweave cost 29 gold28 silver. Most of that is Immortal Shard - 5 at 3 gold each, 15 gold, 51.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 30 gold82 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 399 gold15 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 369 gold87 silver; the Auction House would keep 19 gold95 silver of a sale, leaving 349 gold91 silver. That is an estimated 1195.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.4% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 86 units across 7 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 →
