Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Flask of Distilled Wisdom cost 744 gold80 silver. Most of that is Black Lotus - 1 at 675 gold each, 675 gold, 90.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 784 gold per craft, 392 gold per item at 2 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 700 gold66 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 656 gold52 silver; the Auction House would keep 70 gold6 silver of a sale, leaving 586 gold45 silver. That is an estimated 78.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 10.7% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 210 units across 4 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 →
