Fortune Cookie
Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
At current lowest listed prices the reagents cost more than the crafted item lists for: an estimated loss of 17 gold10 silver per craft.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 23 gold49 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 6 gold72 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 33 silver60 copper
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- −17 gold10 silver (-73%)
- Evidence: 7 current listings holding 43 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 82% below its 30-day median of 38 gold16 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

Fortune Cookie: lowest listed price, last 30 days
The current lowest listing is 82% below its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

Where the reagents come from
Simple Flour. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 5 other recipes (5 Cooking); Delicious Chocolate Cake takes the most, 8 per craft.
Mysterious Fortune Card. Made with Mysterious Fortune Card (Inscription, Cataclysm Inscription) from 1 
Light Parchment and 1 
Blackfallow Ink. At lowest listed prices that makes one Mysterious Fortune Card for 18 gold1 silver, against 23 gold48 silver listed.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Fortune Cookie cost 23 gold49 silver. Most of that is Mysterious Fortune Card - 1 at 23 gold48 silver each, 23 gold48 silver, 100.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 24 gold72 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 6 gold72 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −16 gold77 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 33 silver60 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 17 gold10 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -72.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 43 units across 7 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 →
