At current lowest listed prices the reagents cost more than the crafted item lists for: an estimated loss of 2 gold36 silver per craft.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 2 gold37 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 1 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 5 copper
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- −2 gold36 silver (-100%)
- Evidence: 108 current listings holding 4,362 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 98% below its 30-day median of 66 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Lesser Healing Potion cost 2 gold37 silver. Most of that is Briarthorn - 1 at 2 gold32 silver each, 2 gold32 silver, 97.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 2 gold49 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −2 gold36 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 5 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 2 gold36 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -99.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 4,362 units across 108 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 →
