Elemental Sharpening Stone
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.

Thin market: the crafted item’s lowest listing comes from very few current listings and sits far out of line with reagent cost. Treat this estimate as unverified until more listings accrue.
- Evidence: 2 current listings holding 15 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 4.0 times its 30-day median of 50 gold22 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Elemental Sharpening Stone cost 1 gold27 silver. Most of that is Elemental Earth - 2 at 59 silver each, 1 gold18 silver, 92.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 1 gold33 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 200 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 198 gold73 silver; the Auction House would keep 10 gold of a sale, leaving 188 gold73 silver. That is an estimated 14860.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 15 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 →
