Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Masterful Onyx cost 341 gold30 silver. Most of that is Crushed Gemstones - 30 at 10 gold1 silver each, 300 gold30 silver, 88.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 359 gold26 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 400 gold22 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 58 gold92 silver; the Auction House would keep 20 gold1 silver of a sale, leaving 38 gold90 silver. That is an estimated 11.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 34.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 30 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 →
