Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Shadowcloth cost 609 gold44 silver. Most of that is Primal Fire - 1 at 575 gold each, 575 gold, 94.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 641 gold51 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 675 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 65 gold56 silver; the Auction House would keep 33 gold75 silver of a sale, leaving 31 gold81 silver. That is an estimated 5.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 51.5% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 772 units across 14 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 →
