Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Relic of the Past III cost 38 gold58 silver. Most of that is Penumbra Thread - 3 at 9 gold98 silver each, 29 gold94 silver, 77.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 40 gold61 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 gold46 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −13 gold12 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold27 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 14 gold39 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -37.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 1,299 units across 26 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 →
