Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Transmute: Dracothyst cost 1,812 gold. Most of that is Zaralek Glowspores - 300 at 5 gold each, 1,500 gold, 82.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 1,907 gold36 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1,661 gold63 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −150 gold37 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 83 gold8 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 233 gold45 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -12.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 4,125 units across 19 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 →
