Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Mithril Shield Spike cost 53 gold50 silver. Most of that is Mithril Bar - 4 at 7 gold each, 28 gold, 52.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 56 gold31 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 65 gold20 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 11 gold70 silver; the Auction House would keep 3 gold26 silver of a sale, leaving 8 gold44 silver. That is an estimated 15.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 27.9% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 76 units across 13 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 →
