Goldthorn Tea
Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.

Thin market: the crafted item’s lowest listing comes from very few current listings and sits far out of line with reagent cost. Treat this estimate as unverified until more listings accrue.
- Evidence: 9 current listings holding 506 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 4 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Goldthorn Tea cost 15 gold68 silver. Most of that is Goldthorn - 1 at 15 gold67 silver each, 15 gold67 silver, 99.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 16 gold50 silver per craft, 4 gold12 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 199 gold4 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 780 gold48 silver; the Auction House would keep 39 gold80 silver of a sale, leaving 740 gold67 silver. That is an estimated 4723.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 506 units across 9 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 →
