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
At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 6 gold58 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 1 gold61 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 8 gold63 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 43 silver15 copper
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 6 gold58 silver (+409%)
- Evidence: 7 current listings holding 65 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 3.5 times its 30-day median of 2 gold47 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Greater Fire Protection Potion cost 1 gold61 silver. Most of that is Dreamfoil - 1 at 1 gold50 silver each, 1 gold50 silver, 93.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 1 gold69 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 8 gold63 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 7 gold2 silver; the Auction House would keep 43 silver15 copper of a sale, leaving 6 gold58 silver. That is an estimated 409.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 65 units across 7 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 →
