Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 6 reagents for one craft of <Recipe Template> cost 72,468 gold63 silver. Most of that is Orb of Mystery - 3 at 21,059 gold97 silver each, 63,179 gold91 silver, 87.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 76,282 gold76 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 25 gold72 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −72,442 gold91 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold28 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 72,444 gold19 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -100.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 2,891 units across 23 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 →
