Crafting estimate at current listings

At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 3 gold29 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 5 gold26 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 9 gold
Auction House cut (5%): 45 silver
Estimated profit at that listed price: 3 gold29 silver (+62%)

Evidence: 25 current listings holding 66 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 450 times its 30-day median of 2 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Scroll of Intellect cost 5 gold26 silver. Most of that is Moonglow Ink - 1 at 5 gold25 silver each, 5 gold25 silver, 99.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 5 gold53 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 9 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 3 gold74 silver; the Auction House would keep 45 silver of a sale, leaving 3 gold29 silver. That is an estimated 62.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 12.0% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 66 units across 25 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 →
