Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Maroon Ink cost 4 gold4 silver. Most of that is Maroon Pigment - 1 at 3 gold99 silver each, 3 gold99 silver, 98.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 4 gold25 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 10 gold85 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 6 gold81 silver; the Auction House would keep 54 silver25 copper of a sale, leaving 6 gold26 silver. That is an estimated 155.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 4,141 units across 38 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 →
