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
At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 117 gold46 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 120 gold7 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 250 gold4 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 12 gold50 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 117 gold46 silver (+98%)
- Evidence: 6 current listings holding 24 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 75% below its 30-day median of 999 gold75 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Elixir of Major Firepower cost 120 gold7 silver. Most of that is Mote of Fire - 2 at 58 gold70 silver each, 117 gold40 silver, 97.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 126 gold38 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 250 gold4 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 129 gold97 silver; the Auction House would keep 12 gold50 silver of a sale, leaving 117 gold46 silver. That is an estimated 97.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 9.6% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 24 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 →
