Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Flask of the Frost Wyrm cost 21 gold68 silver. Most of that is Lichbloom - 5 at 2 gold68 silver each, 13 gold40 silver, 61.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 22 gold82 silver per craft, 11 gold41 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 2 gold50 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −16 gold68 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 25 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 16 gold93 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -78.1% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 690 units across 24 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 →
