Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Transmute: Ember Topaz cost 354 gold75 silver. Most of that is Hessonite - 3 at 114 gold75 silver each, 344 gold25 silver, 97.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 373 gold42 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 266 gold80 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 87 gold95 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 13 gold34 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 101 gold29 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -28.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 1,761 units across 27 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
