- Evidence: 14 current listings holding 614 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 3.6 times its 30-day median of 21 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 4 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Critter Bites cost 4 gold48 silver. Most of that is Chilled Meat - 2 at 2 gold each, 4 gold, 89.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 4 gold71 silver per craft, 1 gold17 silver per item at 4 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 75 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1 gold48 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 15 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 1 gold63 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -36.4% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 614 units across 14 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 →
