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 396 gold19 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 78 gold81 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 500 gold
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 25 gold
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 396 gold19 silver (+503%)
- Evidence: 6 current listings holding 50 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 94% below its 30-day median of 8,209 gold23 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Erratic Genesis Matrix cost 78 gold81 silver. Most of that is Wormfed Gear Assembly - 4 at 6 gold84 silver each, 27 gold36 silver, 34.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 82 gold95 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 500 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 421 gold19 silver; the Auction House would keep 25 gold of a sale, leaving 396 gold19 silver. That is an estimated 502.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.9% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 50 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 →
