Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Relic of the Past III cost 157 gold2 silver. Most of that is Cobalt Ore - 6 at 21 gold78 silver each, 130 gold68 silver, 83.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 165 gold28 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 3 gold, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 154 gold2 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 15 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 154 gold17 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -98.2% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 319 units across 24 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
