- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 1 gold8 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 10 gold78 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 53 silver90 copper
- Estimated profit at that listed price

- Evidence: 7 current listings holding 163 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.

Listing depth right now: 163 units across 7 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 →
