Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Song Gear cost 65 gold77 silver. Most of that is Refulgent Copper Ore - 10 at 4 gold13 silver each, 41 gold30 silver, 62.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 69 gold23 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 54 gold41 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 11 gold36 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 gold72 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 14 gold8 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -21.4% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 10,709 units across 76 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
