Where the reagents come from
Thorium Ore. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 2 other recipes (1 Blacksmithing and 1 Alchemy); Relic of the Past V takes the most, 5 per craft.
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Smelt Thorium cost 3 gold33 silver.
Break-even is 3 gold50 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 3 gold85 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 52 silver; the Auction House would keep 19 silver25 copper of a sale, leaving 32 silver75 copper. That is an estimated 9.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 37.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 27,450 units across 62 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 →
