Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Gunpowder Charge cost 44 gold7 silver. Most of that is Oversized Blasting Cap - 30 at 1 gold10 silver each, 33 gold, 74.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 46 gold38 silver per craft, 9 gold27 silver per item at 5 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item has no current Auction House listing to compare it against, so the estimate above is left unknown rather than guessed.
