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.
Price Sources (Dependencies):
There are currently two ways LootAppraiser gets pricing and that is from either/or TradeSkillMaster or TheUndermineJournal.
LootAppraiser will pick up which addons you have installed and the price sources available automatically.
TradeSkillMaster
TradeSkillMaster with the following properly installed, enabled, and configured:
TradeSkillMaster (core) & TradeSkillMaster_AppHelper
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.
https://theunderminejournal.com

Command Lin Usage:
/la - This will load the full UI with items, color by quality, and value of asset(s) looted

Left-Click on mini-map icon to open the main window (same as slash command /la)

In reply to Chillvik:
Hi there! Thanks for using the addon and the compliments about it. Greatly appreciated and Happy New Year. This is most likely caused by having a Mythic+ keystone in your bags. I thought I fixed this issue prior but apparently it isn't yet and I'm pending a keystone myself to finally resolve. I'd suggest banking the keystone until you intend to use it to avoid this issue.
In reply to ProfitzTV:
aaah alright, i appreciate the response man and great work on this addon.its so damn helpful hehe :D
Thank you! Happy New Year to you too.
This reply will help others that experience the same issue when they google it so good stuff ;)
In reply to Chillvik:
Thanks for the kind words and glad you are using it! :)
I've had TSM for almost 2 years with the TSM App Helper running, I have not had any issues with LA up until a few weeks ago and I thought it was just needing an update, but it still just shows a blank box with the text at the top.
In reply to cobrashotgummy:
Send me a private message with some screenshots of the General and Notification tabs in LootAppraiser. Thanks.
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!
Sounds like you don't have Tradeskillmaster with updated realm pricing installed which included their TSM App Helper (desktop client) and/or Theunderminejournal. LA uses either or both of those for price sources. Also, I would check this guide on the Official Discord channel: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/778044895164104755/786952648258617404/LootAppraiser_Guide_2020.pdf
Love the addon, but for a while when I boot it up the window is blank with just the text at the top, its up to date and i've tried turning off other addons to see if they were messing with it and re-installing but it remained blank, anyone know what I can do to fix it?
Thanks for the update. Just sent you a private message for more details. Thanks!
Interesting since I can't reproduce it. I'll send you a msg for further details.
Loot Appraiser is not taking in consideration its auto selling of grey items. Notice the zero in grey sells:
What should I tweak in the LUA to get commas? Like, instead of 35000 showing instead 35.000?
Disregard - Found option in different spot then in videos.
I haven't been able to reproduce this on my side. When it's disabled it doesn't start a session. Try the following to reset your Saved Variables file for LootAppraiser.
1. Close down your Wow client completely
2. Browse to your Saved Variables folder
Typically like: C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\YourWowAccountHere\SavedVariables
3. Delete the LootAppraiser.lua and LootAppraiser.bak files
4. Relaunch your client and setup your LootAppraiser again. By default, this option should be disabled. Don't toggle it on or off just set everything else up and try to loot something. Keep in mind the Quality Filter is set to Uncommon (green) by default with 100g GAT to start.
In reply to ProfitzTV:
did not help at all. it starts "random" a season. don't know why.
i don't use the options to auto sell or repair or anything for that matter. sill have to activate and deactivate the "autostart" cause even looting post-items will start a season even if is deactivatet -.-
Thanks for reporting. I'll check into it. Did you by chance go to a vendor first? It activates when you go to a vendor too since it sells items/grays if that is selected.
In reply to ProfitzTV:
i have not select the vendor options.
and again it started itself. option is deactivated -.-
hi! great addon!
after the last update i have a problem: la always starts a season. i don't want it to do so. but i can't find a way to stop it. the season window disapears but the sesaon goes on. any ideas how to tell la to stop and only to start if i want it to?
edit: auto start was off but i had to set it on and off to get it to work.
