Tenuous Vermilion Onyx

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 2 gold12 silver, but the crafted item’s listing is far from its 30-day median (see below).

Reagent cost (lowest listed): 4 gold53 silver
Crafted item, lowest listed price: 7 gold
Auction House cut (5%): 35 silver
Estimated profit at that listed price: 2 gold12 silver (+47%)

Evidence: 8 current listings holding 37 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 83% below its 30-day median of 41 gold95 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Tenuous Vermilion Onyx cost 4 gold53 silver.

Break-even is 4 gold76 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 7 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 2 gold47 silver; the Auction House would keep 35 silver of a sale, leaving 2 gold12 silver. That is an estimated 46.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 14.2% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 37 units across 8 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 →
