How profit is calculated

For each recipe the calculator prices every ingredient off the live market board (or vendor, when cheaper), sums the real cost per craft, and compares it to a conservative expected sale price — the current cheapest listing capped by what the item genuinely sells for on average. High-quality output, result quantities, and market tax are all accounted for.

Why numbers differ per world

The same craft can be a money-maker on one server and a loss on another. Every figure here is specific to the world you pick, so check your own server before committing materials.

Watch sales velocity

A huge margin means nothing if the item sells once a month. Each row shows sales per day — the sweet spot is a healthy margin on an item that moves several times daily.
