Where the reagents come from

Bolt of Embersilk Cloth. Made with Bolt of Embersilk Cloth (Tailoring, Cataclysm Tailoring) from 5 Embersilk Cloth. At lowest listed prices that makes one Bolt of Embersilk Cloth for 6 gold75 silver, against 6 gold85 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 48 other recipes (48 Tailoring); Hyjal Expedition Bag takes the most, 20 per craft.

Volatile Fire. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 87 other recipes (35 Leatherworking, 22 Tailoring, 19 Blacksmithing and 4 Jewelcrafting); the most per craft: Eye of Many Deaths (Jewelcrafting, 75 per craft), Ring of Warring Elements (Jewelcrafting, 75 per craft), Jeweler's Ruby Monocle (Jewelcrafting, 50 per craft), Clutches of Evil (Leatherworking, 40 per craft) and Dragonfire Gloves (Leatherworking, 40 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Enchanted Spellthread cost 99 gold99 silver. Most of that is Volatile Fire - 6 at 13 gold24 silver each, 79 gold44 silver, 79.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 105 gold25 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 2 gold14 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −97 gold85 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 10 silver70 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 97 gold95 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -98.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 21 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.
