The daily craft that pays for itself
Every GW2 account can refine one of each ascended material per day — Damask, Spiritwood, Deldrimor Steel and Elonian Leather — and the profit hides in the gap between raw material cost and refined sell price. That gap swings daily with the market: some days Damask pays triple Spiritwood, other days all four sit near cost. Checking before you craft is the entire game, and it takes one click here.
The math is honest about fees: materials price at instant-buy, outputs sell at lowest-sell minus the full 15% Trading Post tax, because that is what actually lands in your wallet. Thin margins die to price moves between crafting and sale, so the AI verdict weights margin size against material concentration — a craft needing one volatile input is riskier than its headline number. Pair the daily habit with the TP Flip Finder for the rest of your gold, and see Klobjarne Geirr crafting for a bigger project to spend the profits on.
Frequently asked questions
Which crafts does the tool cover?
The four daily-gated ascended refinements: Bolt of Damask, Spiritwood Plank, Deldrimor Steel Ingot and Elonian Leather Square — the classic once-per-day crafts every account can run.
How is the margin computed?
Material cost uses instant-buy (lowest sell) prices, output uses lowest sell minus the 15% Trading Post tax (5% listing + 10% sale). What remains is the realistic profit per craft.
