Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Guardian's Twilight Opal cost 3 gold.

Break-even is 3 gold15 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 15 gold6 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 12 gold6 silver; the Auction House would keep 75 silver30 copper of a sale, leaving 11 gold30 silver. That is an estimated 376.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.2% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 32 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 →
