Crafting estimate at current listings

At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 1 gold80 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 9 gold74 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price (each): 2 gold43 silver
Items per craft: 5
Listed value of one craft: 12 gold15 silver
Auction House cut (5%): 60 silver75 copper
Estimated profit at that listed price: 1 gold80 silver (+18%)

Evidence: 35 current listings holding 517 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 97% below its 30-day median of 73 gold95 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 5 per craft, so the listed value of one craft is that many times the lowest listed price.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Scroll of Agility IX cost 9 gold74 silver. Most of that is Blackfallow Ink - 1 at 9 gold72 silver each, 9 gold72 silver, 99.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 10 gold25 silver per craft, 2 gold5 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 2 gold43 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2 gold41 silver; the Auction House would keep 60 silver75 copper of a sale, leaving 1 gold80 silver. That is an estimated 18.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 25.2% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 517 units across 35 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 →
