Chemical Blasting Cap. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 21 other recipes (21 Engineering); the most per craft: Gnomish Tesla Mega-Coil (Engineering, 15 per craft), Super-Charged Engine (Engineering, 12 per craft), Frost-Laced Ammunition (Engineering, 10 per craft), Incendiary Ammunition (Engineering, 10 per craft) and Sanguinated Thermo-Degradation (Engineering, 10 per craft).

Insulated Wiring. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Frost-Laced Ammunition cost 72 gold18 silver. Most of that is Monelite Ore - 12 at 5 gold89 silver each, 70 gold68 silver, 97.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 75 gold97 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 4 gold90 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −67 gold28 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 24 silver50 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 67 gold52 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: 114 units across 12 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 →
