Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Thorium Widget cost 11 gold84 silver. Most of that is Thorium Bar - 3 at 3 gold83 silver each, 11 gold49 silver, 97.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 12 gold46 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 15 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 3 gold16 silver; the Auction House would keep 75 silver of a sale, leaving 2 gold41 silver. That is an estimated 20.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 23.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 7,853 units across 25 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 →
