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.

My Currency Looted section shows Gold as Copper . So let's say i'm looting 44g it will show 44c which mess a bit with the way I want to calculate the amount of gold I make in LFR runs
Hi Zekrom,
Currently this isn't an option to solely select a rarity type but I can see how this might be useful. I'll put that on my list to add to a future version.
Hi Sindre and thanks for the inquiry. The "Do you want to start a loot appraiser" session can be suppressed (disabled) by selecting the option under General, "Suppress 'Start Session' dialogue during first loot." option. (right click the mini-map button to get to these options)
Your second question is also in the mini-map button section under 'Notifications' tab. In here you can check how you want to see any items which are above your alert threshold (1,000g etc.). the 'enable toasts' is the default pop-up you are talking about above your bags. Unless you are using a UI addon, this won't be able to be moved. I'd suggest disabling that and selecting other notification type (I personally like Raid Warnings) or find a UI like ElvUI.
Hope this helps! Happy Farming!
I have two questions. Do you know how i can disable the "do you want to start a loop appraiser session?" when Im opening canceled auctions from the ah? And how I can move the pling when I get items while farming? Now when I loot an item which meets the 1000g Ive put the item itself is showed bottom right just above my bags.
I really love the addon, but I cant seem to find a solution for this.
Is there any way to make it so LA only shows Common items for value, so when doing material farms the GPH isnt distorted by random greens and above.
Got the same issue the person under me has. I've version 1.9.8. Connected ist with TSM Market value and nothing shows up while farming. Tried a fresh install, nothing. The soulbound option is unchecked aswell.
Good morning! Thanks for your message. I would make sure you have the latest version 1.9.8 and also if you want to see the soulbound items, uncheck the option to 'Ignore Soulbound items when looted' in the 'General' tabs section. This will show you the value of the BoP vendor sell pricing or of course, if they are BOEs the current pricing based upon your price source. Hope this helps!
Hi there! Thanks for your inquiry. All of the sounds are from blizzard directly as this moment and don't support custom sounds.
Hello! Tell me, can I add my own sound of falling out an expensive item? If so, how can I do this?
Hello i just downlaoded this addon, when i do raid runs for gold it doesnt seem to pick up any items i collect only raw gold. I don't have any conflicting addons as i only use tradeskillmaster. Any fixes for this please would be appreciated
Thanks for the inquiry. You need to create a Top level Group called "LootAppraiser" then under that a sub-group called "Trash". Then place the items you want to sell within that Trash group. I'm working on an update as well which will make this independent of TSM if someone wishes to manage it separately.
Thanks for addon, but I dont get how to add item group that i made in tsm to vendor sell. I wrote string <LootAppraiser`Trash`Sell Trash`>
Thanks for the kind words my friend and glad you are enjoying it. There are currently no LA skins itself but it does support your UI. I use ElvUI and it skins it nicely based upon my settings in that addon. Also, you can start the main window and if you don't like seeing it, you can leverage /laa and /lal commands to launch the tiny mini-frame windows showing you the last gold alert threshold item based upon your value and also total looted item value.
Finally get to set up this incredible addon! First of all - thank you very much for supporting it <3
But I got a question - are there any skins out there / transparancy or scaling modes? It's a bulky to me :) Thank you!

There's nothing useful with that destroy trash button, at least for me, not when I had couple items worth around 100 per item in bags. Any way to disable that button please?
In reply to SkarOOen:
Hi there. Thanks for the post. By disabling do you mean not showing it on the UI? If so, then yes I can put something in the options to not show it if you like.
Update: This has been added in version 1.9.8 now available for download/install.
In reply to ProfitzTV:
Many thanks. Have a nice day!
Question: I know some people have asked for the ability to scale/resize the main LA window. Which portion of the window do you think is most important that you would want to see as primary? I'm thinking instead of making it drag re-sizable, to make a slider in options to only show certain details making the overall main LA screen smaller. Curious on your thoughts. Thanks.
@ProfitzTV on Twitter if that's easier to respond.
Just a hilarious FYI, in the TSM Groups tab of LootAppraiser v1.9.7 after it says "Be careful", there is a great typo "if your TSM group /containTs/ items". Thanks for the dope addon
