Reading these numbers
At current prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Perfected Cogwheel cost 159 gold88 silver. Most of that is Song Gear - 2 at 53 gold each, 106 gold, 66.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 168 gold29 silver - below that sale price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The finished item is listing at 9 gold12 silver, which does not clear it.
The finished item currently sells for less than its reagents: −150 gold76 silver before fees, and the Auction House still takes 45 silver60 copper of the sale, so a craft loses 151 gold21 silver. Buying the finished item is cheaper than making it. That is a -94.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Sell-side depth right now: 1,458 units across 137 auctions region-wide. Depth is what separates a price from one seller’s asking figure, so read it alongside the profit.
Costs are the cheapest current Auction House price per reagent; profit is the crafted value minus those reagents minus Blizzard’s 5% sale cut, recalculated every snapshot and left blank rather than guessed when a price is missing. How we calculate crafting profit →
