Northern Egg. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it.
Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Tasty Cupcake cost 2 gold52 silver. Most of that is Northern Egg - 1 at 2 gold50 silver each, 2 gold50 silver, 99.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 2 gold65 silver per craft, 53 silver5 copper per item at 5 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 1 gold98 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 7 gold38 silver; the Auction House would keep 49 silver50 copper of a sale, leaving 6 gold88 silver. That is an estimated 273.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 2,443 units across 15 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 →
