Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Glyph of Stars cost 12 gold1 silver. Most of that is Moonglow Ink - 3 at 4 gold each, 12 gold, 99.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 12 gold64 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 12 gold74 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 73 silver; the Auction House would keep 63 silver70 copper of a sale, leaving 9 silver30 copper. That is an estimated 0.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 87.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 3,438 units across 24 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 →
