Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Steelskin Potion cost 54 gold1 silver. Most of that is Sea Stalk - 10 at 3 gold each, 30 gold, 55.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 56 gold85 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 25 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −53 gold76 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 silver25 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 53 gold77 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -99.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 388 units across 25 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
