Crafting estimate at current listings

At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 112 gold41 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 10 gold71 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price (each): 64 gold80 silver
Items per craft: 2
Listed value of one craft: 129 gold60 silver
Auction House cut (5%): 6 gold48 silver
Estimated profit at that listed price: 112 gold41 silver (+1050%)

Evidence: 21 current listings holding 104 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 6.5 times its 30-day median of 10 gold3 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.
Quality: Pounce comes in 3 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.
Not included: the recipe also accepts 2 finishing reagent slots, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Pounce quality ranks

Pounce comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 275.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Pounce	64 gold80 silver	21 listings, 104 units
Rank 2	Pounce	2 gold	20 listings, 377 units
Rank 3	Pounce	9 gold97 silver	28 listings, 254 units

The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here. Right now rank 1 lists above rank 2 and rank 3, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Pounce: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 49 times its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

Now: 490 gold5 silver
30-day low: 4 gold90 silver Sep 14
30-day high: 2,222 gold22 silver Aug 23
30-day median: 10 gold3 silver
7-day median: 490 gold5 silver
Hourly snapshots: 685

Also a required reagent in 26 other recipes (22 Jewelcrafting, 1 Alchemy, 1 Cooking and 1 Blacksmithing); B.B.F. Fist takes the most, 150 per craft.

Rousing Earth. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Pounce cost 10 gold71 silver. Most of that is Rousing Earth - 2 at 2 gold88 silver each, 5 gold76 silver, 53.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 11 gold27 silver per craft, 5 gold63 silver per item at 2 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 64 gold80 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 118 gold89 silver; the Auction House would keep 6 gold48 silver of a sale, leaving 112 gold41 silver. That is an estimated 1049.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.5% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 104 units across 21 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 →
