Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Transmute: Imperial Amethyst cost 6 gold24 silver. Most of that is Golden Lotus - 1 at 5 gold24 silver each, 5 gold24 silver, 84.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 6 gold56 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 3 gold50 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 2 gold74 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 17 silver50 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 2 gold91 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -46.7% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 989 units across 113 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
