Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Glyph of the Heavens cost 29 gold74 silver. Most of that is Blackfallow Ink - 3 at 9 gold91 silver each, 29 gold73 silver, 100.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 31 gold30 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 31 gold18 silver, which does not clear it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 1 gold44 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold55 silver of a sale, leaving −11 silver90 copper. That is an estimated -0.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 108.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 705 units across 29 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 →
