- Evidence: 29 current listings holding 449 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Potion of Wild Magic cost 5 gold84 silver. Most of that is Lichbloom - 2 at 2 gold25 silver each, 4 gold50 silver, 77.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 6 gold14 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 97 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −4 gold87 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 4 silver85 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 4 gold91 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -84.2% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 449 units across 29 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 →
