Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Nimble Forest Emerald cost 3 gold50 silver.

Break-even is 3 gold68 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 8 gold72 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 5 gold22 silver; the Auction House would keep 43 silver60 copper of a sale, leaving 4 gold78 silver. That is an estimated 136.7% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 8.4% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 21 units across 4 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 →
