- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Quality: Munsell Ink comes in 2 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Munsell Ink cost 40 gold67 silver. Most of that is Powder Pigment - 20 at 1 gold30 silver each, 26 gold, 63.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 42 gold81 silver per craft, 21 gold40 silver per item at 2 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 12 gold90 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −14 gold87 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold29 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 16 gold16 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -39.7% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 6,668 units across 52 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 →
