  • Evidence: 5 current listings holding 26 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.
  • Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 4.7 times its 30-day median of 19 gold, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Subtle Tinker's Gear cost 23 gold50 silver.

Break-even is 24 gold73 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 90 gold6 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 66 gold56 silver; the Auction House would keep 4 gold50 silver of a sale, leaving 62 gold5 silver. That is an estimated 264.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.8% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 26 units across 5 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 →
