LootAppraiser is an addon which determines an item's value when looted based upon a pricing source you select. It keeps track of all gold asset value of the items in total including a quality item filter. Perfect for farming and determining gold asset value or potential gold-per-hour.
The reason I developed this addon was because while proving out some gold earnings via farming, I was using spreadsheets for post-run calculations on item values and pricing models. Now, I just run this addon, select the price source I want and let it calculate it for me!
Please understand, this addon does NOT determine liquid gold you are guaranteed to make but rather, potential ‘asset’ values of items looted where you will have to do the work and sell it on the Auction House, trade chat, etc.
Dependencies
Price Sources:
There are currently two ways LootAppraiser gets pricing and that is from either/or TradeSkillMaster or TheUndermineJounal.
LootAppraiser will pick up which addons you have installed and the price sources available automatically.
TradeSkillMaster 3 or 4
LootAppraiser needs TradeSkillMaster 3 or 4 with a minimum of the following modules:
TradeSkillMaster (core)
TradeSkillMaster_AppHelper
TradeSkillMaster_AuctionDB - TSM 3 only (for AuctionDB price sources)
NOTE: An important part of this addon is to ensure you are always getting the latest/updated pricing information for your realm or your numbers will be reporting incorrectly. We would highly recommend installing the TradeSkillMaster Desktop application (available for Windows and Mac) available at TradeSkillMaster.com
The Undermine Journal
Another great resource site for analytics and pricing details.

Hi there. Thanks for the question. This was an older version of LA which used a localized table to store where items where dropped from per run (session). I have this on the list to re institute this in a latter version.
I have seen on many youtubers videos that LA used to show where items had dropped from, is this still available as I can't see it in the settings and google hasn't turned anything up.
EDIT: NEVERMIND! I just deleted LootAppraiser (including variables) and it allowed me to pick a new price source after I did that
I have no idea what's causing this. I have TSM 4

hello hello =) was wondering if there is a way to set the loot pop up thingy to be percentage based ? like if i farm mats and those mats sells for 100% market value, then when i loot it and the item is worth more i will get the pop up ?
(Sry bad english hope its understandable :p tricky to explain..)
LootAppraiser Classic has been released.
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/lootappraiser-classic
CLASSIC PLEASE
In reply to dra1man:
While LA-Classic is being worked on, you can actually use the current version with TSM4. The difference is since pricing realms aren't support you need to do a /tsm scan at the AH to pull pricing for LootAppraiser to report properly.

Can't seem to get it to pick up my blacklist group in tsm. Tried everything i can think of
wouldn't mind this for WoW Classic
Any change you will be making a Classic WoW version? Be great to farm with this addon there. (Maybe less features.)
uh i have an issue, it doesnt show how much currnecy i looted, doesnt notify what i got, i checked the settings multiple times, i dont know what to do.
In reply to jechtmanLTU:
Make sure your TSM is updated with current pricing for your realm(s) including the TSM App Helper desktop application.
hey is there a way i can make items of different values play different sounds?
In reply to hurpy_derpy:
Not today, that would get too crazy with sounds and not practical. Thanks though.
Can't get it to stop showing me errors.
Okay so probably have a problem others have had already but might as well show it.
Got TSM4 and the app, all on the server and used em a bunch.
I don't know if this is related at all but Lootappraiser worked fine for a long time but for some reason after I removed a few of my pricing sources that no longer had a use I started to get these errors.
1. When I log in with LootAppraiser and tsm4, including the app and all that, turned on I get an Error(nr1)
2. If I bring up the meny for LA options and go to the "general tab" I get an additional error(nr2) and I do not see any pricing source in any of the tabs, I do remember it being somewhere there when it worked. This error keeps comming up if I keep going to and from the general tab of LA options. This is under the "Interface" options.
3. If I click the icon, to bring up the window, nothing shows but another error(nr3).
4. If I then do the same again a window does show up but without any of the features of the window and I get continuous errors(nr4)
Here is an image of the window, if it helps:

Since I don't think posting a wall of errors here I got some links for em too:
Error 1: https://pastebin.com/zU2zpYEc
Error 2: https://pastebin.com/VzmPh2VR
Error 3: https://pastebin.com/XXZiSa5F
Error 4: https://pastebin.com/ibFivp39
Thanks in advance :D Your app is crazy fun and I love it, when it works :D
ps. I did try to reinstall and delete all settings for LA. Don't really wanna do that for TSM since I have a ton of stuff there but do tell if I have to. ds.
In reply to SpintFX:
Thanks for the detailed report and the comment on the addon, it's greatly appreciated. I think we have a couple things going on here. Let's start one by one. Do you have a defined 'custom' price in TSM4 which perhaps has older references to price sources not used anymore in TSM4? The 'global' pricing.
You can see all available prices for TSM4 by typing: /tsm sources
Which will output all current sources that are usable in your custom prices.
In reply to ProfitzTV:
"Do you have a defined 'custom' price in TSM4 which perhaps has older references to price sources not used anymore in TSM4? The 'global' pricing."
I directly took all my price sources from Sheyrahs pastebin like a nobhead so they are probably a bit scuffed by now.
These are the ones I am currently using:
minprice: max(min(DBHistorical, DBGlobalMarketAvg, DBGlobalHistorical, DBRegionMarketAvg, DBRegionHistorical), VendorSell)"
sheymax: max(500% max(crafting, avgbuy)/0.95, 500% first(min(dbmarket, 150% dbregionmarketavg), dbregionhistorical, dbglobalmarketavg, dbglobalhistorical), 110% vendorsell/0.95)
sheymin: max(first (105% max(crafting, avgbuy)/0.95, 70% first(min(dbmarket, 150% dbregionmarketavg), dbregionhistorical, dbglobalmarketavg, dbglobalhistorical)), 110% vendorsell/0.95)
sheynorm: max(200% max(crafting, avgbuy)/0.95, 150% first(min(dbmarket, 150% dbregionmarketavg), dbregionhistorical, dbglobalmarketavg, dbglobalhistorical), 110% vendorsell/0.95)
As you can see there are a ton of "Globals" being used, if that is what you meant, however none looks obviously bad. Honestly we are skirting the ledge of my knowledge here xD
In reply to SpintFX:
Okay so for fun I decided to try it out with the Undermined Journal as a pricing source, just to see if anything would change. Lo and behold I get a message saying that my current pricing source, which I previously was unable to view and/or change, and when i opened up the options... there is was. Just like it should be. So I figured I'd see if I can now switch back to tsm. And it's working for now.
From what I can gather with my limited understanding I somehow deleted the pricing source that I had put in to LootAppraiser which caused it to freakout. Having it actually notice that tsm was not active caused it too look for a solution and not finding any alternative it simply gave up. When I introduced it the UMJ it leaped to salvation! Heroically! Or something like that.
I'll try to replicate the error for u.
In reply to SpintFX:
Ok great! Just as an FYI, the Global pricing has been deprecated so if you try and use that, it will probably fail. Here is a quick command line you can do to always test your pricing. Doing this with a global price will prompt you from TSM to convert it.
/tsm price<space><SHIFT+Click your item to link it in chat><space><your price>
example:
/tsm price [Insulated Wiring] dbmarket
This will show you the value in your chat window. Very handy for testing out ranges and price sources manually.
