Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Monel-Hardened Stirrups cost 24 gold1 silver. Most of that is Monelite Ore - 15 at 1 gold59 silver each, 23 gold85 silver, 99.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 25 gold27 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 168 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 143 gold99 silver; the Auction House would keep 8 gold40 silver of a sale, leaving 135 gold59 silver. That is an estimated 564.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.8% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 47 units across 10 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 →
