Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Pygmy Oil cost 2 gold86 silver.
Break-even is 3 gold1 silver per craft, 1 gold50 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 4 gold75 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 6 gold64 silver; the Auction House would keep 47 silver50 copper of a sale, leaving 6 gold16 silver. That is an estimated 215.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 7.2% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 4,436 units across 39 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 →
