Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Icy Blasting Primers cost 235 gold10 silver. Most of that is Primal Water - 1 at 148 gold48 silver each, 148 gold48 silver, 63.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 247 gold47 silver per craft, 24 gold74 silver per item at 10 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 28 gold48 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 49 gold70 silver; the Auction House would keep 14 gold24 silver of a sale, leaving 35 gold46 silver. That is an estimated 15.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 28.7% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 5,534 units across 21 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 →
