Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Elemental Blasting Powder cost 56 gold82 silver. Most of that is Mote of Fire - 1 at 55 gold4 silver each, 55 gold4 silver, 96.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 59 gold81 silver per craft, 14 gold95 silver per item at 4 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 22 gold10 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 31 gold58 silver; the Auction House would keep 4 gold42 silver of a sale, leaving 27 gold16 silver. That is an estimated 47.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 14.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 2,119 units across 20 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 →
