Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Red Smoke Flare cost 14 gold18 silver. Most of that is Elemental Blasting Powder - 1 at 14 gold6 silver each, 14 gold6 silver, 99.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 14 gold92 silver per craft, 4 gold97 silver per item at 3 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 195 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 570 gold82 silver; the Auction House would keep 29 gold25 silver of a sale, leaving 541 gold57 silver. That is an estimated 3819.3% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 67 units across 5 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 →
