Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Salt and Pepper Shank cost 8 gold39 silver. Most of that is Lean Shank - 5 at 1 gold25 silver each, 6 gold25 silver, 74.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 8 gold83 silver per craft, 1 gold76 silver per item at 5 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 75 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −4 gold64 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 18 silver75 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 4 gold82 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -57.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 371 units across 20 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 →
