Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Simple Stew cost 8 silver.

Break-even is 8 silver42 copper per craft, 2 silver81 copper per item at 3 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 37 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 1 gold3 silver; the Auction House would keep 5 silver55 copper of a sale, leaving 97 silver45 copper. That is an estimated 1218.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.4% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 255 units across 21 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 →
