Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Potion of Petrification cost 27 gold87 silver. Most of that is Stonescale Oil - 7 at 3 gold98 silver each, 27 gold86 silver, 100.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 29 gold33 silver per craft, 14 gold66 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 90 gold75 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 153 gold63 silver; the Auction House would keep 9 gold7 silver of a sale, leaving 144 gold55 silver. That is an estimated 518.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.9% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 550 units across 9 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 →
