- Evidence: 35 current listings holding 839 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
- Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 4 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
- Not included: the recipe also accepts 1 finishing reagent slot, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Portable Snack cost 5 gold57 silver. Most of that is Plant Protein - 2 at 2 gold46 silver each, 4 gold92 silver, 88.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 5 gold86 silver per craft, 1 gold46 silver per item at 4 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 1 gold1 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1 gold53 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 20 silver20 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 1 gold73 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -31.1% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 839 units across 35 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 →
