- 21 gold62 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 97 gold62 silver

- Evidence: 7 current listings holding 38 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 4.7 times its 30-day median of 20 gold68 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Ironshield Potion cost 21 gold62 silver. Most of that is Ancient Lichen - 2 at 9 gold95 silver each, 19 gold90 silver, 92.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 22 gold75 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 97 gold62 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 76 gold; the Auction House would keep 4 gold88 silver of a sale, leaving 71 gold11 silver. That is an estimated 329.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.4% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 38 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 →
