Reagent cost (lowest listed): 28 gold91 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price (each): 59 silver

Listed value of one craft: 2 gold95 silver
Auction House cut (5%): 14 silver75 copper
Estimated profit at that listed price: −26 gold10 silver (-90%)

Evidence: 20 current listings holding 301 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 82% below its 30-day median of 3 gold34 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 Intellect III cost 28 gold91 silver. Most of that is Jadefire Ink - 1 at 28 gold89 silver each, 28 gold89 silver, 99.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 30 gold43 silver per craft, 6 gold8 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 59 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −25 gold96 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 14 silver75 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 26 gold10 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -90.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 301 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 →
