Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Shining Spellthread cost 11 gold82 silver. Most of that is Crystallized Life - 2 at 4 gold91 silver each, 9 gold82 silver, 83.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 12 gold44 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 14 gold49 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2 gold67 silver; the Auction House would keep 72 silver45 copper of a sale, leaving 1 gold94 silver. That is an estimated 16.5% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 27.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 34 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 →
