Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Living Action Potion cost 6 gold41 silver. Most of that is Icecap - 2 at 2 gold20 silver each, 4 gold40 silver, 68.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 6 gold74 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 18 gold41 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 12 gold; the Auction House would keep 92 silver5 copper of a sale, leaving 11 gold7 silver. That is an estimated 172.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 7.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 687 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 →
