The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here. Right now rank 1 lists above rank 2, so a craft that comes out at a higher rank is worth less at today’s listings, not more.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Runed Writhebark cost 598 gold11 silver. Most of that is Chilled Rune - 1 at 257 gold91 silver each, 257 gold91 silver, 43.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 629 gold58 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 750 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 151 gold89 silver; the Auction House would keep 37 gold50 silver of a sale, leaving 114 gold39 silver. That is an estimated 19.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 24.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 47 units across 16 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 →
