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 79 gold13 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 6 gold36 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 89 gold99 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 4 gold49 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 79 gold13 silver (+1244%)
- Evidence: 11 current listings holding 830 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 12 times its 30-day median of 7 gold53 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Potion of Luck cost 6 gold36 silver. Most of that is Golden Lotus - 1 at 6 gold35 silver each, 6 gold35 silver, 99.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 6 gold69 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 89 gold99 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 83 gold63 silver; the Auction House would keep 4 gold49 silver of a sale, leaving 79 gold13 silver. That is an estimated 1244.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.4% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 830 units across 11 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 →
