Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Thorium Widget cost 8 gold97 silver. Most of that is Thorium Bar - 3 at 2 gold80 silver each, 8 gold40 silver, 93.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 9 gold44 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 13 gold99 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 5 gold2 silver; the Auction House would keep 69 silver95 copper of a sale, leaving 4 gold32 silver. That is an estimated 48.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 13.9% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 172,153 units across 72 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 →
