Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 5 reagents for one craft of Steak a la Mode cost 3 gold. Most of that is Inconceivably Aged Vinegar - 2 at 70 silver each, 1 gold40 silver, 46.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 3 gold15 silver per craft, 1 gold5 silver per item at 3 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 43 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1 gold71 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 6 silver45 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 1 gold77 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -59.2% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 1,175 units across 49 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 →
