Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Glyph of Thunder Strike cost 38 gold95 silver. Most of that is Blackfallow Ink - 3 at 12 gold98 silver each, 38 gold94 silver, 100.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 41 gold - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 43 gold55 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 4 gold60 silver; the Auction House would keep 2 gold17 silver of a sale, leaving 2 gold42 silver. That is an estimated 6.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 47.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 639 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 →
