Crafting estimate at current listings

No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.

Crafted item, lowest listed price: 2,050 gold
Auction House cut (5%): 102 gold50 silver
Estimated profit at that listed price: 1,756 gold32 silver

No real market: only 7 units across 3 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: 3 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.
Quality: Draconic Missive of Crafting Speed comes in 3 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.
Not included: the recipe also accepts 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Draconic Missive of Crafting Speed quality ranks

Draconic Missive of Crafting Speed comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 275.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Draconic Missive of Crafting Speed	2,050 gold	3 listings, 7 units
Rank 2	Draconic Missive of Crafting Speed	130 gold91 silver	5 listings, 22 units
Rank 3	Draconic Missive of Crafting Speed	1,035 gold23 silver	6 listings, 78 units

The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here. Right now rank 1 lists above rank 2 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Break-even is 201 gold24 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 2,050 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 1,858 gold82 silver; the Auction House would keep 102 gold50 silver of a sale, leaving 1,756 gold32 silver. That is an estimated 918.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.5% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 7 units across 3 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 →
