Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Potion of Recklessness cost 75 gold. Most of that is Azeroot - 4 at 12 gold each, 48 gold, 64.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 78 gold94 silver per craft, 15 gold78 silver per item at 5 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 11 gold45 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −17 gold75 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 gold86 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 20 gold61 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -27.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 73,466 units across 129 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 →
