- Evidence: 9 current listings holding 8,411 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 6.9 times its 30-day median of 4 gold, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Iron Buckle cost 5 gold99 silver.
Break-even is 6 gold30 silver per craft, 3 gold15 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 27 gold60 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 49 gold21 silver; the Auction House would keep 2 gold76 silver of a sale, leaving 46 gold45 silver. That is an estimated 775.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.6% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 8,411 units across 9 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 →
