Where the reagents come from

Elemental Blasting Powder. Made with Elemental Blasting Powder (Engineering, Outland Engineering) from 1 Mote of Fire and 2 Mote of Earth, 4 per craft. At lowest listed prices that makes one Elemental Blasting Powder for 15 gold42 silver, against 45 gold10 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 12 other recipes (12 Engineering); Flying Machine takes the most, 20 per craft.

Netherweave Cloth. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 17 other recipes (9 Tailoring, 6 Engineering and 2 Blacksmithing); the most per craft: Relic of the Past V (Tailoring, 7 per craft), Relic of the Past III (Tailoring, 6 per craft), Relic of the Past IV (Tailoring, 6 per craft), Bolt of Netherweave (Tailoring, 5 per craft) and Relic of the Past I (Tailoring, 5 per craft).

Green Dye. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 23 other recipes (14 Tailoring, 6 Blacksmithing and 3 Leatherworking); the most per craft: Flying Carpet (Tailoring, 4 per craft), Green Holiday Shirt (Tailoring, 4 per craft), Green Leather Armor (Leatherworking, 2 per craft), Green Silk Armor (Tailoring, 2 per craft) and Green Winter Clothes (Tailoring, 2 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Green Smoke Flare cost 45 gold20 silver. Most of that is Elemental Blasting Powder - 1 at 45 gold10 silver each, 45 gold10 silver, 99.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 47 gold57 silver per craft, 15 gold85 silver per item at 3 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 29 gold97 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 44 gold71 silver; the Auction House would keep 4 gold49 silver of a sale, leaving 40 gold21 silver. That is an estimated 89.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 10.1% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 480 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 →
