Crafting estimate at current listings
No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 228 gold28 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 74 gold94 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 3 gold74 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- −157 gold8 silver
No real market: only 7 units across 4 auctions region-wide. With this little supply the lowest listing is one asking price rather than a market rate, so treat the estimate above as arithmetic, not an opportunity; a buyer at that price is not established.
- Evidence: 4 current listings holding 7 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 94% below its 30-day median of 1,188 gold42 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Sustaining Armor Polish cost 228 gold28 silver. Most of that is Death Blossom - 25 at 7 gold each, 175 gold, 76.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 240 gold29 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 74 gold94 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −153 gold34 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 3 gold74 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 157 gold8 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -68.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 7 units across 4 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 →
