Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Elixir of Major Shadow Power cost 6 gold70 silver. Most of that is Ancient Lichen - 1 at 4 gold55 silver each, 4 gold55 silver, 67.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 7 gold5 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 71 gold43 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 64 gold73 silver; the Auction House would keep 3 gold57 silver of a sale, leaving 61 gold15 silver. That is an estimated 912.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.5% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 395 units across 10 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 →
