Crafting estimate at current listings

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

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 220 gold63 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 900 gold
Auction House cut (5%): 45 gold
Estimated profit at that listed price: 634 gold37 silver

No real market: only 7 units across 4 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: 4 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 Resourcefulness 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 Resourcefulness quality ranks

Draconic Missive of Resourcefulness 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 Resourcefulness	900 gold	4 listings, 7 units
Rank 2	Draconic Missive of Resourcefulness	9 gold50 silver	8 listings, 45 units
Rank 3	Draconic Missive of Resourcefulness	90 gold94 silver	7 listings, 52 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.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 679 gold37 silver; the Auction House would keep 45 gold of a sale, leaving 634 gold37 silver. That is an estimated 287.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.6% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 7 units across 4 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 →
