Crafting estimate at current listings

No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.

No real market: only 3 units across 3 auctions region-wide. With this little supply the lowest listing is one asking price rather than a market rate, so treat the estimate above as arithmetic, not an opportunity; a buyer at that price is not established.

  • Evidence: 3 current listings holding 3 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.

Runic Spellthread: lowest listed price, last 30 days

The current lowest listing is 21% above its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

At lowest listed prices that makes one Primal Mana for 584 gold30 silver, against 346 gold89 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 59 other recipes (18 Leatherworking, 10 Tailoring, 9 Blacksmithing and 7 Engineering); the most per craft: Circlet of Arcane Might (Jewelcrafting, 20 per craft), Fireguard (Blacksmithing, 20 per craft), Netherstrike Breastplate (Leatherworking, 16 per craft), Black Belt of Knowledge (Tailoring, 14 per craft) and Foreman's Enchanted Helmet (Engineering, 12 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Runic Spellthread cost 3,471 gold10 silver. Most of that is Primal Mana - 10 at 346 gold89 silver each, 3,468 gold90 silver, 99.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 3,653 gold78 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 10,576 gold3 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 7,104 gold93 silver; the Auction House would keep 528 gold80 silver of a sale, leaving 6,576 gold12 silver. That is an estimated 189.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 7.4% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 3 units across 3 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 →
