Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Deadly Ruby cost 116,308 gold92 silver. Most of that is Radiant Ruby - 6 at 18,888 gold57 silver each, 113,331 gold42 silver, 97.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 122,430 gold44 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 555 gold8 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −115,753 gold84 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 27 gold75 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 115,781 gold59 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -99.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 31 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 →
