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

At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 12 gold1 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 3 gold72 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 16 gold56 silver
Auction House cut (5%): 82 silver80 copper
Estimated profit at that listed price: 12 gold1 silver (+323%)

Evidence: 7 current listings holding 30 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 11 times its 30-day median of 1 gold51 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 Imperial Amethyst cost 3 gold72 silver.

Break-even is 3 gold91 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 16 gold56 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 12 gold84 silver; the Auction House would keep 82 silver80 copper of a sale, leaving 12 gold1 silver. That is an estimated 322.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.4% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 30 units across 7 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 →
