Break-even is 826 gold14 silver per craft, 413 gold7 silver 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 750 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 715 gold16 silver; the Auction House would keep 75 gold of a sale, leaving 640 gold16 silver. That is an estimated 81.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 10.5% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 85 units across 5 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 →
