The current lowest listing is 2.8 times its 30-day median. Over these 30 days the lowest listing moved more than tenfold, so a single snapshot, including the one the estimate uses, can sit far from typical.

Where the reagents come from
True Iron Ore. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 61 other recipes (21 Blacksmithing, 17 Jewelcrafting, 9 Engineering and 6 Leatherworking); Glowing Blackrock Band takes the most, 60 per craft.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Shieldtronic Shield cost 9 gold84 silver.
Break-even is 10 gold35 silver per craft, 2 gold7 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 39 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −7 gold89 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 9 silver75 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 7 gold98 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -81.2% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 1,615 units across 101 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 →
