Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Etched Imperial Amethyst cost 3 gold55 silver.

Break-even is 3 gold73 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold20 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −2 gold35 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 6 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 2 gold41 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -67.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 59 units across 15 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 →
