Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Soul Sprocket cost 91 gold33 silver. Most of that is Umbral Tin Ore - 10 at 6 gold27 silver each, 62 gold70 silver, 68.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 96 gold13 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 59 gold, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −32 gold33 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 gold95 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 35 gold28 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -38.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 2,545 units across 83 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
