Defender's Dreadstone
Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 11 gold99 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 8,054 gold19 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 402 gold70 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 7,639 gold49 silver
Thin market: the crafted item’s lowest listing comes from very few current listings and sits far out of line with reagent cost. Treat this estimate as unverified until more listings accrue.
- Evidence: 2 current listings holding 7 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 202 times its 30-day median of 39 gold85 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Defender's Dreadstone cost 11 gold99 silver.
Break-even is 12 gold62 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 8,054 gold19 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 8,042 gold20 silver; the Auction House would keep 402 gold70 silver of a sale, leaving 7,639 gold49 silver. That is an estimated 63715.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 7 units across 2 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 →
