Reagent cost (lowest listed): 39 gold78 silver

Estimated profit at that listed price: −32 gold25 silver (-81%)

Evidence: 179 current listings holding 505 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 81% below its 30-day median of 41 gold11 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
Quality: Quick Garnet comes in 2 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 1 finishing reagent slot, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Quick Garnet cost 39 gold78 silver. Most of that is Glimmering Gemdust - 1 at 22 gold29 silver each, 22 gold29 silver, 56.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 41 gold87 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 7 gold92 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −31 gold86 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 39 silver60 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 32 gold25 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -81.1% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 505 units across 179 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 →
