The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here. Right now rank 1 lists above rank 2, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Masterful Ruby cost 77,555 gold26 silver. Most of that is Radiant Ruby - 4 at 18,888 gold57 silver each, 75,554 gold28 silver, 97.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 81,637 gold11 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 600 gold97 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −76,954 gold29 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 30 gold4 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 76,984 gold33 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -99.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 35 units across 9 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 →
