Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Flourishing Fortune cost 193 gold85 silver. Most of that is Flourishing Ink - 2 at 95 gold each, 190 gold, 98.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 204 gold5 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 13 gold, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −180 gold85 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 65 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 181 gold50 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -93.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 6,656 units across 25 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 →
