- Evidence: 22 current listings holding 353 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 5 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Frontline Potion comes in 3 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.
- Not included: the recipe also accepts 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 5 reagents for one craft of Frontline Potion cost 67 gold87 silver. Most of that is Mycobloom - 12 at 3 gold80 silver each, 45 gold60 silver, 67.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 71 gold44 silver per craft, 14 gold28 silver per item at 5 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 1 gold8 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −62 gold47 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 27 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 62 gold74 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -92.4% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 353 units across 22 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 →
