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.
https://theunderminejournal.com

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:
https://imgshare.io/image/OaQkH
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.

From what thing i have this error and how i can solve the problem ?i have the last version
In reply to LuckyYTiger:
If you're running into pricing issues not showing up, you probably don't have all of TSM App (desktop client) and TSM Addon installed with your realms selected or if you're using Theunderminejournal, ensure they are updated.
TSM Install help here: https://www.tradeskillmaster.com/install
Nvm i do it i had a bug
UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT VERSION 1.9.6
I've resolved the continuous prompt window in version 1.9.6 just uploaded. This will now take full use of the database option for Suppression again. By Default, Suppression is ON meaning it will not prompt at all. If you wish to have it prompt as a reminder, uncheck this feature. Up next loot it will prompt you again for Yes or No. If you answer No, it won't prompt again.
Thank you all for your patience as I'm just starting to come back to the development part of LootAppraiser after taking some time away. I appreciate those who have stepped up and contacted me directly and/or posted on these forums any bugs or enhancement requests. I never thought this addon would make it to the success it is today so truly, I'm honored and thankful.
If you wish to contact me directly: @ProfitzTV via email: WowProfitz@gmail.com or www.twitch.tv/profitztv
Blessings to you all.
Happy Farming.

hey all.. can we stop the LA window from opening every time we loot something??? its pretty annoying.. like make it start only when we start a session in a dungeon or whatever., not for every loot while doing quests etc.
thanks in advance
In reply to G1ak1:
Fixed it in 1.9.6 being uploaded now. Thanks for reporting my friend.
Is there a trick to stop that loot window from constantly popping up? I'm running version 1.9.5 and its driving me nuts!
In reply to maddhacker24:
Upon first pop-up how are you answering the question? If you select 'close' it will prompt again. If you select 'No' it won't prompt again until you /reload or switch toons.
I´ve tried that, but I´ll check with the TSM disc and see if they know anything. Thanks anyways :)
I can't seem to understand why LA is doing this. When I log into my trial account (on the same pc) I don't have this issue. The only difference I noticed however is on my trial account I have the option to change my Price Source, whereas on my main account this doesn't even appear. I've tried reinstalling and everything, but nothing seems to work. I use the standard UI.

In reply to Romking:
Very strange. The only reason why the price info wouldn't show is if you don't have Tradeskillmaster installed with appropriate realms setup for pricing or Theunderminejournal. If you have those installed and its still like this, I'd suggest delete the LootAppraiser folder completely (while logged out of the game/client closed) and reinstall.
i dont know what to do
https://prntscr.com/o7zxoi
i need help
In reply to LuckyYTiger:
Hi there. Make sure you are on version 1.9.5 of LootAppraiser and mostly things related to pricing are from not having Tradeskillmaster installed with your realms you are on from their site and/or Theunderminejournal depending on what you are pulling your pricing from.
after 8.2 every time i loot something i get asked to start new session if i dont have a session running i have the supress option checked but it don mather it sems : /
In reply to voliria:
This is being looked into on the database side to store the 'suppress' option so it doesn't prompt. Also, there was a bug in 1.9.4x client so make sure you are on 1.9.5.
