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 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

The current lowest listing is 56% above its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Masterful Sapphire cost 856 gold78 silver. Most of that is Crushed Gemstones - 20 at 40 gold19 silver each, 803 gold80 silver, 93.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 901 gold87 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 862 gold11 silver, which does not clear it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 5 gold33 silver; the Auction House would keep 43 gold10 silver of a sale, leaving −37 gold77 silver. That is an estimated -4.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 808.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 18 units across 4 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 →
