Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Deepstone Oil cost 21 gold.

Break-even is 22 gold10 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 20 gold95 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −5 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold4 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 1 gold9 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -5.2% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 21,423 units across 45 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
