Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Elemental Sharpening Stone cost 2 gold17 silver. Most of that is Elemental Earth - 2 at 1 gold4 silver each, 2 gold8 silver, 95.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 2 gold28 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 20 gold16 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 17 gold99 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold of a sale, leaving 16 gold98 silver. That is an estimated 782.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.6% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 103 units across 6 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 →
