Origami Slime

Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.

Crafting estimate at current listings

At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 68 silver25 copper, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 3 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 75 silver
Auction House cut (5%): 3 silver75 copper
Estimated profit at that listed price: 68 silver25 copper (+2275%)

Evidence: 9 current listings holding 126 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 91% below its 30-day median of 8 gold, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

30-day median: 8 gold

Where the reagents come from

Light Parchment. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 306 other recipes (295 Inscription, 8 Enchanting and 3 Engineering); Codex of the Clear Mind takes the most, 200 per craft.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Origami Slime cost 3 silver.

Break-even is 3 silver16 copper - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 75 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 72 silver; the Auction House would keep 3 silver75 copper of a sale, leaving 68 silver25 copper. That is an estimated 2275.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.2% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 126 units across 9 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 →
