Projectile Propulsion Pinion

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

No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 1,129 gold36 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 33,796 gold49 silver
Auction House cut (5%): 1,689 gold82 silver
Estimated profit at that listed price: 30,977 gold30 silver

No real market: only 1 unit across 1 auction region-wide. With this little supply the lowest listing is one asking price rather than a market rate, so treat the estimate above as arithmetic, not an opportunity; a buyer at that price is not established.

Evidence: 1 current listing holding 1 unit of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
Quality: Projectile Propulsion Pinion 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.

Projectile Propulsion Pinion quality ranks

Projectile Propulsion Pinion comes in 3 quality ranks, and each rank is its own item on the Auction House. The recipe’s base crafting difficulty is 425.

Rank	Item	Lowest listed price	Listings (US)
Rank 1	Projectile Propulsion Pinion	33,796 gold49 silver	1 listing, 1 unit
Rank 2	Projectile Propulsion Pinion	29,561 gold57 silver	1 listing, 1 unit
Rank 3	Projectile Propulsion Pinion	1,499 gold97 silver	5 listings, 13 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.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Projectile Propulsion Pinion cost 1,129 gold36 silver. Most of that is Arclight Capacitor - 2 at 400 gold each, 800 gold, 70.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 1,188 gold80 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 33,796 gold49 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 32,667 gold13 silver; the Auction House would keep 1,689 gold82 silver of a sale, leaving 30,977 gold30 silver. That is an estimated 2742.9% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.2% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 1 unit across 1 auction 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 →
