Crafting profit calculator

Search for an item, select its tier and enchantment, then inspect the recipe variant. Ordinary materials and non-returnable components have different cost treatment. Set the production city, focus, daily bonus and station charge before comparing outputs. Use the price overrides when you have checked a market in game.

The output is a distribution of qualities, not automatically a masterpiece. Inspect the quality prices and probabilities behind expected revenue. A missing quality price weakens that estimate; an unusually expensive masterpiece listing is not evidence that a whole batch will sell at that price.

Suppose a craft contributes 600 fame to a journal with capacity 3,000. That is one fifth of a full journal. If a full journal is worth 12,000 and an empty one costs 7,000, the illustrative contribution is (12,000 − 7,000) × 600 ÷ 3,000 = 1,000 silver per craft. Counting the full 12,000 as additional revenue would count both an unfinished journal and the empty journal cost incorrectly.

These are teaching inputs, not a live journal or recipe. Check AU’s journal capacity, fame per craft and both prices for the selected item. Include journal value once, and budget separately for buying empty journals before production.

The detailed crafting guide below works through returns, tax, break-even price and starting capital. After checking those inputs, lower your output prices and raise material prices to see whether the plan still makes sense. Expected net consumption is an average; you need enough whole ingredients to start crafting.

Saving the calculation to the planner helps aggregate materials and leftovers. It does not reserve market orders. Verify demand for each output quality and any selling, listing or transport costs that are outside the displayed estimate.
