Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Smelt Bronze cost 4 gold27 silver. Most of that is Copper Bar - 1 at 2 gold25 silver each, 2 gold25 silver, 52.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 4 gold49 silver per craft, 2 gold24 silver per item at 2 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 4 gold75 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 5 gold23 silver; the Auction House would keep 47 silver50 copper of a sale, leaving 4 gold75 silver. That is an estimated 111.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 9.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 4,088 units across 34 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 →
