Outlier: the crafted item’s lowest listing is 84% below its 30-day median of 8 gold99 silver, so this estimate rests on a listing far below its usual level.
Quality: Versatile Amethyst comes in 2 quality ranks. This is the base comparison, rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result; your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide the rank you actually get, which this estimate does not model. Each rank’s lowest listing is in the rank table below.
Not included: the recipe also accepts 1 finishing reagent slot, which are not required and are left out of the cost.

Rank 1	Versatile Amethyst	1 gold44 silver	219 listings, 953 units
Rank 2	Versatile Amethyst	79 gold98 silver	28 listings, 239 units

The crafting estimate above is the base comparison: rank 1 reagents against the rank 1 result. Your skill and the reagents’ ranks decide which rank a craft actually makes, so a higher rank is never priced against rank 1 reagents here.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Versatile Amethyst cost 39 gold99 silver. Most of that is Glimmering Gemdust - 1 at 22 gold99 silver each, 22 gold99 silver, 57.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 42 gold9 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold44 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −38 gold55 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 7 silver20 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 38 gold62 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -96.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 953 units across 219 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 →
