Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Starlight Ink cost 23 gold.

Break-even is 24 gold21 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 26 gold49 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 3 gold49 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold32 silver of a sale, leaving 2 gold16 silver. That is an estimated 9.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 38.0% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 8,395 units across 27 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 →
