Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Mysterious Fortune Card cost 9 gold92 silver. Most of that is Blackfallow Ink - 1 at 9 gold91 silver each, 9 gold91 silver, 99.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 10 gold44 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 23 gold48 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 13 gold56 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold17 silver of a sale, leaving 12 gold38 silver. That is an estimated 124.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 2,706 units across 30 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 →
