Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Elixir of Giants cost 12 gold23 silver. Most of that is Gromsblood - 1 at 8 gold each, 8 gold, 65.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 12 gold87 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 23 gold85 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 11 gold62 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold19 silver of a sale, leaving 10 gold42 silver. That is an estimated 85.3% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 10.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 225 units across 9 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 →
