Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Song Gear cost 91 gold68 silver. Most of that is Refulgent Copper Ore - 10 at 6 gold6 silver each, 60 gold60 silver, 66.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 96 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 62 gold98 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −28 gold70 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 3 gold14 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 31 gold84 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -34.7% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 5,094 units across 97 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
