Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Elixir of Perfection cost 2 gold6 silver. Most of that is Snow Lily - 1 at 1 gold45 silver each, 1 gold45 silver, 70.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 2 gold16 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 75 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1 gold31 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 3 silver75 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 1 gold34 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -65.4% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 357 units across 16 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
