Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Umbral Ink cost 50 gold30 silver. Most of that is Umbral Pigment - 1 at 50 gold each, 50 gold, 99.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 52 gold94 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 63 gold70 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 13 gold40 silver; the Auction House would keep 3 gold18 silver of a sale, leaving 10 gold21 silver. That is an estimated 20.3% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 23.8% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 4,558 units across 28 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 →
