Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Virmen's Bite cost 2 gold85 silver. Most of that is Snow Lily - 1 at 1 gold84 silver each, 1 gold84 silver, 64.6% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 3 gold - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold83 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1 gold2 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 9 silver15 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 1 gold11 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -39.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 1,081 units across 43 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 →
