Where the reagents come from

Fire Oil. Made with Fire Oil (Alchemy, Classic Alchemy) from 2 Firefin Snapper. At lowest listed prices that makes one Fire Oil for 5 gold76 silver, against 7 gold66 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 6 other recipes (3 Alchemy and 3 Tailoring); Elixir of Greater Firepower takes the most, 3 per craft.

Kingsblood. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 7 other recipes (5 Alchemy, 1 Leatherworking and 1 Enchanting); the most per craft: Herbalist's Gloves (Leatherworking, 4 per craft), Herbalism (Enchanting, 3 per craft), Elixir of Ogre's Strength (Alchemy, 1 per craft), Great Rage Potion (Alchemy, 1 per craft) and Greater Healing Potion (Alchemy, 1 per craft).

Crystal Vial. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 321 other recipes (310 Alchemy, 10 Enchanting and 1 Inscription); the most per craft: Potion of Prolonged Power (Alchemy, 10 per craft), Apothecary's Worktable (Alchemy, 6 per craft), Major Arcane Protection Potion (Alchemy, 5 per craft), Major Fire Protection Potion (Alchemy, 5 per craft) and Major Frost Protection Potion (Alchemy, 5 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Elixir of Firepower cost 21 gold33 silver. Most of that is Fire Oil - 2 at 7 gold66 silver each, 15 gold32 silver, 71.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 22 gold45 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 5 gold99 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 15 gold34 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 29 silver95 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 15 gold63 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -73.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 84 units across 8 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
