Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Small Prismatic Shard cost 1 gold72 silver.

Break-even is 1 gold81 silver per craft, 60 silver35 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 43 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −43 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 6 silver45 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 49 silver45 copper at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -28.7% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 2,575 units across 84 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.
