Where the reagents come from

Light Parchment. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 306 other recipes (295 Inscription, 8 Enchanting and 3 Engineering); Codex of the Clear Mind takes the most, 200 per craft.

Blackfallow Ink. Made with Blackfallow Ink (Inscription, Cataclysm Inscription) from 2 Ashen Pigment. At lowest listed prices that makes one Blackfallow Ink for 16 gold, against 18 gold listed. Also a required reagent in 24 other recipes (24 Inscription); the most per craft: Gilnean Postbox (Inscription, 10 per craft), Gilnean Map (Inscription, 8 per craft), Felfire Inscription (Inscription, 4 per craft), Gilnean Wall Shelf (Inscription, 4 per craft) and Inscription of the Earth Prince (Inscription, 4 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Scroll of Versatility IX cost 18 gold2 silver. Most of that is Blackfallow Ink - 1 at 18 gold each, 18 gold, 99.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 18 gold96 silver per craft, 3 gold79 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 gold74 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −4 gold32 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 68 silver50 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 5 gold at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -27.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 85 units across 11 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 →
