Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Runic Mana Potion cost 5 gold32 silver. Most of that is Lichbloom - 2 at 1 gold66 silver each, 3 gold32 silver, 62.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 5 gold60 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 70 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −4 gold62 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 3 silver50 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 4 gold65 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -87.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 887 units across 120 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
