Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Smelt Hardened Khorium cost 1,524 gold67 silver. Most of that is Khorium Bar - 3 at 449 gold89 silver each, 1,349 gold67 silver, 88.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 1,604 gold91 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1,999 gold99 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 475 gold32 silver; the Auction House would keep 99 gold99 silver of a sale, leaving 375 gold32 silver. That is an estimated 24.6% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 21.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 94 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 →
