Crafting estimate at current listings

No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 1 gold25 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price (each): 44,090 gold
Items per craft: 2
Listed value of one craft: 88,180 gold
Auction House cut (5%): 4,409 gold
Estimated profit at that listed price: 83,769 gold75 silver

Thin market: the crafted item’s lowest listing comes from very few current listings and sits far out of line with reagent cost. Treat this estimate as unverified until more listings accrue.

Evidence: 3 current listings holding 21 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 551,125 times its 30-day median of 8 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.
Items per craft: the game’s spell data creates 2 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 Versatility V cost 1 gold25 silver. Most of that is Shimmering Ink - 1 at 1 gold23 silver each, 1 gold23 silver, 98.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 1 gold31 silver per craft, 65 silver79 copper per item at 2 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 44,090 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 88,178 gold75 silver; the Auction House would keep 4,409 gold of a sale, leaving 83,769 gold75 silver. That is an estimated 6701580.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.0% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 21 units across 3 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 →
