Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Gilded Vial cost 129 gold99 silver. Most of that is Crushed Gemstones - 3 at 40 gold19 silver each, 120 gold57 silver, 92.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 136 gold83 silver per craft, 34 gold20 silver per item at 4 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 95 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −126 gold19 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 19 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 126 gold38 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -97.2% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 7,350 units across 91 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 →
