Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Fish Cake cost 8 gold.
Break-even is 8 gold42 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 10 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2 gold; the Auction House would keep 50 silver of a sale, leaving 1 gold50 silver. That is an estimated 18.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 25.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 890 units across 17 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 →
