Where the reagents come from
Cobalt Ore. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 3 other recipes (3 Blacksmithing); Relic of the Past III takes the most, 6 per craft.
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Smelt Cobalt cost 21 gold67 silver.
Break-even is 22 gold81 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 22 gold64 silver, which does not clear it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 97 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold13 silver of a sale, leaving −16 silver20 copper. That is an estimated -0.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 116.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 18,719 units across 61 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 →
