Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
At current lowest listed prices one craft shows an estimated profit of 26 gold61 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 69 gold47 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 101 gold14 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 5 gold5 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 26 gold61 silver (+38%)
- Evidence: 6 current listings holding 41 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 4.5 times its 30-day median of 22 gold24 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far above its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Superior Steelskin Potion cost 69 gold47 silver. Most of that is Zin'anthid - 8 at 7 gold22 silver each, 57 gold76 silver, 83.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 73 gold12 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 101 gold14 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 31 gold67 silver; the Auction House would keep 5 gold5 silver of a sale, leaving 26 gold61 silver. That is an estimated 38.3% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 16.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 41 units across 6 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 →
