Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Destruction Potion cost 8 gold73 silver. Most of that is Nightmare Vine - 2 at 2 gold36 silver each, 4 gold72 silver, 54.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 9 gold18 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 22 gold61 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 13 gold88 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold13 silver of a sale, leaving 12 gold74 silver. That is an estimated 146.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 746 units across 9 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 →
