Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Thalassian Missive of Crafting Speed cost 62 gold45 silver. Most of that is Sienna Ink - 2 at 17 gold90 silver each, 35 gold80 silver, 57.3% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 65 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 99 gold80 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 37 gold35 silver; the Auction House would keep 4 gold99 silver of a sale, leaving 32 gold36 silver. That is an estimated 51.8% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 13.4% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 540 units across 63 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 →
