Requirements

Price Answer requires you to have TradeSkillMaster installed. Users requesting price checks do not need TSM.

Supported WoW versions and price sources

Notes

• Auctioneer for TBC Anniversary requires either Auctioneer BCC Fix or Auctioneer Crusade.
• Auctioneer for Classic Era, Hardcore, Fresh, and Seasons requires the original Auctioneer.
• External price sources are used when TSM price values are unavailable or zero, but TradeSkillMaster is still required.
• External price sources are mapped to the equivalent TSM price sources where possible. Not all price sources are available for all World of Warcraft versions, regardless of additional addons.
• Vanilla Classic Era requires an external addon to provide price data to TSM.

TradeSkillMaster prices

• Min buyout
• Market value (14-day realm trend)
• Recent (market value of an item from the last data snapshot)
• Region market average (market trend across the US or EU)
• Historical (60-day extended market trend)
• Region historical (60-day extended regional market trend)
• Crafting cost (at least one of your same-realm, same-faction characters must know the recipe)
• Destroy (DE, milling, prospecting) value
• Vendor sell (what an NPC will give you)

Asking for a price check

Players can use the following commands to trigger price checks. Spaces do not matter. (Exception: when passing both N and a numerical itemID, a space must exist between N and the itemID.) The trigger price can be changed in the options.

• price N item
• priceNitem
• price Nitem
• price item

N is an optional quantity (default 1), item is an itemID, itemLink, or item name. If an item name is used, the item must be cached by the game client (either from the current session or existing cache data). If it is not cached, use an item link or itemID instead.
