Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Transmute: Pyrium Bar cost 18 gold22 silver. Most of that is Elementium Bar - 1 at 16 gold each, 16 gold, 87.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 19 gold17 silver per craft, 6 gold39 silver per item at 3 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 24 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 53 gold78 silver; the Auction House would keep 3 gold60 silver of a sale, leaving 50 gold18 silver. That is an estimated 275.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.7% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 4,721 units across 16 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 →
