Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Transmute: King's Amber cost 69 gold67 silver. Most of that is Eternal Life - 1 at 66 gold62 silver each, 66 gold62 silver, 95.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 73 gold33 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 6 gold93 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −62 gold74 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 34 silver65 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 63 gold8 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -90.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 2,056 units across 58 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
