Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Truesilver Skeleton Key cost 3 gold74 silver. Most of that is Truesilver Bar - 1 at 2 gold84 silver each, 2 gold84 silver, 75.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 3 gold93 silver per craft, 1 gold96 silver per item at 2 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 5 gold, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 6 gold26 silver; the Auction House would keep 50 silver of a sale, leaving 5 gold76 silver. That is an estimated 154.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.0% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 50 units across 8 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 →
