Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Salt and Pepper Shank cost 5 gold88 silver. Most of that is Lean Shank - 5 at 70 silver each, 3 gold50 silver, 59.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 6 gold18 silver per craft, 61 silver90 copper per item at 10 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 clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 1 gold62 silver; the Auction House would keep 37 silver50 copper of a sale, leaving 1 gold24 silver. That is an estimated 21.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 23.1% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 1,699 units across 30 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 →
