Enough listings to trust the price — still a listing, not a sale.

Two ways to sell

Auction House: the house keeps 5% of the sale. Crafting orders: crafting orders are public, guild or personal; you place them with Mar’nah in Silvermoon City. NPC Patron orders are the biggest weekly Knowledge source — about 12, an estimate.

Blizzard’s snapshot gives listings, not sales — completed sales and sell-through are not established (TheWoWDB: a listing is not a sale).

Community · opinion

Blizzard staff: missing Sparks of Tides were restored and extra ones are being removed (Sep 15). ◆ Blizzard forums

Players reported that some Demystifyin’ books gave no Knowledge (Aug 12–13); a fix is not confirmed. ◆ Blizzard EU forums

Forum posts are reports, not rules. Reddit’s threads would not open for checking, so none is quoted here.

How the numbers are made

Confidence

A label from your own listing count, not a probability. High: 15 or more listings. Low: 3–14, a thin market. Unchecked: you have not entered listings. None: a price is missing, or fewer than 3 listings.

How rows are ranked

Profitable first, then profitable but thin, break-even, losing, unpriced and likely unsellable. Inside each group: value per hour where you gave sales per hour, otherwise net profit per craft. A listing is not a sale.

Verdicts — our rule

Needs prices: a sale or reagent price is missing. Likely unsellable: under 3 listings. Break-even: net within 5% of the cost. Loses gold: below that. Profitable but thin: 3–14 listings. Profitable: 15 or more, or listings not entered.

Craft or buy

Break-even price = your cash cost per item ÷ 0.95, because the Auction House keeps 5% of a sale (TheWoWDB). The Materials chips decide whether your stock or your gathered herbs cost cash.

Concentration bundle

Spends Concentration where Gold adds the most gold per point — (Gold net − Silver net) × items per craft ÷ the Concentration you entered — up to 5 crafts of a recipe and 4 recipes. Concentration refills one point every 6 minutes, 1000 at most (Warcraft Wiki).

Per Concentration point

What one point of Concentration is worth on this row: the extra a Gold craft sells for over a Silver one, after the 5% cut, divided by the Concentration you said a Gold craft costs.

Midnight professions — quick answers

What is the max profession skill in Midnight?

100. Each crafting profession has four trees; they open at skill 25, 50, 60 and 75. Knowledge can be spent from skill 25.

How fast does Concentration come back?

One point every 6 minutes, up to 1000 — about 240 a day, so an empty pool takes 100 hours to fill. Spending Concentration is how a consumable or reagent reaches Gold.

How many Knowledge Points do you get a week in Midnight?

Crafters: NPC Patron orders about 12 (an estimate), the weekly quest 1–4, weekly drops 4 and a Treatise 1. Guides estimate about 18–20 Knowledge a week for a crafter — less when Patron orders ask for a recipe or a quality you lack. Gatherers: quest 3, drops 8–9 and a Treatise 1 — 12–13 a week.

How do I get Spark of Tides?

Blizzard’s own item data names it “Spark of Tides” (item 274476). One Spark of Tides a week since Season 2 began. Each Spark comes with Tidal Spark Dust, which tracks the cap. Since Midnight, Sparks drop whole — no fragments — and recipes ask for twice as many. The weekly quests: Trailing Xal’atath (Vereesa Windrunner, Silvermoon City: loot 100 Fading Voidwhispers); Sparks of War (PvP) (Zerella, Falconwing Square: loot 100 Sparks of War); Turn Back the Surge (Talon Commander Zela, Tokka’s Landing: complete 3 Curse Surges); Midnight World Tour — once (Lor’themar, Silvermoon City: a bonus only if you did not finish it in Season 1).

How do I reset profession Knowledge?

One free Knowledge reset per Midnight profession, at Theremis in the Silvermoon Bazaar. The reset also unlearns recipes bought with Knowledge — spend it again to relearn them.

What item level is crafted gear in Midnight Season 2?

Spark of Tides — 2 per item, 4 for a two-hander: item level 292–305; + Hero Mistcrests: item level 305–318; + Myth Mistcrests: item level 318–331. Inside each range the level follows crafting quality.

What is the best profession for gold in Midnight right now?

No source can promise one, so we measure: in our US Auction House read of 2026-10-09, Alchemy — Liquid Luster, 872g a craft; Herbalism — Azeroot, 14.16g a unit, after the 5% cut. Our read prices only these so far; your own prices in the calculator win.
