Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of High-Explosive Gunpowder cost 11 gold94 silver.
Break-even is 12 gold56 silver per craft, 6 gold28 silver per item at 2 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 7 gold80 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 3 gold66 silver; the Auction House would keep 78 silver of a sale, leaving 2 gold88 silver. That is an estimated 24.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 21.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 4,513 units across 23 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 →
