Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Starlight Ink cost 16 gold90 silver.
Break-even is 17 gold78 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 20 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 3 gold10 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 gold of a sale, leaving 2 gold10 silver. That is an estimated 12.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 32.3% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 7,255 units across 19 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 →
