Reading these numbers
At current prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Shadow Ink cost 12 gold30 silver. Most of that is Orbinid Pigment - 5 at 1 gold99 silver each, 9 gold95 silver, 80.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 12 gold94 silver - below that sale price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The finished item is listing at 4 gold69 silver, which does not clear it.
The finished item currently sells for less than its reagents: −7 gold61 silver before fees, and the Auction House still takes 23 silver45 copper of the sale, so a craft loses 7 gold84 silver. Buying the finished item is cheaper than making it. That is a -63.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Sell-side depth right now: 1,703 units across 174 auctions region-wide. Depth is what separates a price from one seller’s asking figure, so read it alongside the profit.
Costs are the cheapest current Auction House price per reagent; profit is the crafted value minus those reagents minus Blizzard’s 5% sale cut, recalculated every snapshot and left blank rather than guessed when a price is missing. How we calculate crafting profit →
