Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 5 reagents for one craft of Frostfire Alloy cost 371 gold10 silver. Most of that is Awakened Fire - 1 at 137 gold each, 137 gold, 36.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 390 gold63 silver per craft, 195 gold31 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 40 gold41 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −290 gold28 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 4 gold4 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 294 gold32 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -79.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 96 units across 5 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 →
