Where the reagents come from

Elemental Blasting Powder. Made with Elemental Blasting Powder (Engineering, Outland Engineering) from 1 Mote of Fire and 2 Mote of Earth, 4 per craft. At lowest listed prices that makes one Elemental Blasting Powder for 12 gold27 silver, against 14 gold6 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 12 other recipes (12 Engineering); Flying Machine takes the most, 20 per craft.

Netherweave Cloth. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 17 other recipes (9 Tailoring, 6 Engineering and 2 Blacksmithing); the most per craft: Relic of the Past V (Tailoring, 7 per craft), Relic of the Past III (Tailoring, 6 per craft), Relic of the Past IV (Tailoring, 6 per craft), Bolt of Netherweave (Tailoring, 5 per craft) and Relic of the Past I (Tailoring, 5 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of White Smoke Flare cost 14 gold17 silver. Most of that is Elemental Blasting Powder - 1 at 14 gold6 silver each, 14 gold6 silver, 99.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 14 gold91 silver per craft, 4 gold97 silver per item at 3 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 4 gold20 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −1 gold57 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 63 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 2 gold20 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -15.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 415 units across 12 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
