No real market: only 7 units across 3 auctions 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: 3 current listings holding 7 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 5 reagents for one craft of Prototype Explorer's Barding Framework cost 1,534 gold65 silver. Most of that is Obsidian Seared Alloy - 2 at 571 gold20 silver each, 1,142 gold40 silver, 74.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 1,615 gold42 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1,715 gold99 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 181 gold34 silver; the Auction House would keep 85 gold79 silver of a sale, leaving 95 gold54 silver. That is an estimated 6.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 47.3% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 7 units across 3 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
