Where the reagents come from
Awakened Earth. Made with Transmute: Awakened Earth (Alchemy, Dragon Isles Alchemy) from 1 
Awakened Frost and 1 
Awakened Fire, 2 per craft. At lowest listed prices that makes one Awakened Earth for 159 gold99 silver, against 60 gold listed. Also a required reagent in 42 other recipes (11 Enchanting, 9 Jewelcrafting, 9 Alchemy and 6 Inscription); Shalasar's Sophic Vellum takes the most, 100 per craft.
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Create Rousing Earth cost 60 gold.
Break-even is 63 gold15 silver per craft, 6 gold31 silver per item at 10 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 6 gold49 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 4 gold90 silver; the Auction House would keep 3 gold24 silver of a sale, leaving 1 gold65 silver. That is an estimated 2.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 66.2% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 10,630 units across 65 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 →
