Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Crispy Bacon cost 7 gold55 silver. Most of that is Slice of Bacon - 5 at 91 silver each, 4 gold55 silver, 60.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 7 gold94 silver per craft, 1 gold13 silver per item at 7 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 2 gold60 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 10 gold65 silver; the Auction House would keep 91 silver of a sale, leaving 9 gold74 silver. That is an estimated 129.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.5% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 1,306 units across 16 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 →
