Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Relic of the Past I cost 41 gold58 silver. Most of that is Ghost Iron Ore - 5 at 6 gold85 silver each, 34 gold25 silver, 82.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 43 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 1 gold17 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 40 gold41 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 5 silver85 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 40 gold46 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -97.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 364 units across 32 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
