Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Golemblood Potion cost 19 gold46 silver. Most of that is Heartblossom - 1 at 12 gold45 silver each, 12 gold45 silver, 64.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 20 gold48 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 17 gold, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −2 gold46 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 85 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 3 gold31 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -17.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 154 units across 14 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 →
