Delicate Scarlet Ruby

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): 4 gold76 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 12 gold
Auction House cut (5%): 60 silver
Estimated profit at that listed price: 6 gold64 silver

No real market: only 6 units across 2 auctions region-wide. With this little supply the lowest listing is one asking price rather than a market rate, so treat the estimate above as arithmetic, not an opportunity; a buyer at that price is not established.

Evidence: 2 current listings holding 6 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Delicate Scarlet Ruby cost 4 gold76 silver.

Break-even is 5 gold1 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 12 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 7 gold24 silver; the Auction House would keep 60 silver of a sale, leaving 6 gold64 silver. That is an estimated 139.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.3% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 6 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 →
