## What it does

- Counts every item and copper you loot during the session.

- Values items at vendor price by default, with **automatic Auctioneer /

Auctionator / TradeSkillMaster** market-price lookups when those addons

are installed.

- Shows **total gold** and **gold/hour** for the live session, plus elapsed

time, in a small movable frame.

- **Saves sessions** to a permanent history.

- **Reports window** with a bar chart of saved sessions, click any bar to

inspect that session's full item breakdown.

- **Goal calculator** — enter a target gold amount and the addon tells you

how many hours and sessions you need based on your historical average.

## Why it's not just "another loot tracker"

- **Auctioneer scam-resistant.** Grey/junk items always use vendor price by

default, so a scammer's 1g Stonewood listing doesn't inflate your gp/h.

Tighten further with `/sigt ahquality 2` to also skip white items.

- **Smart mote → primal valuation.** Motes of Air/Earth/Fire/Life/Mana/

Shadow/Water are valued at `primal_AH / 10`, capping per-mote scam

prices automatically.

- **Mote combine reconciliation.** When you convert 10 motes → 1 primal in

your inventory, the session subtracts the motes and shows the primal, so

the breakdown reflects what you actually have — not stale "looted"

motes plus the resulting primal.

- **Survives /reload.** Active session and elapsed time persist across

reloads and logouts.

## Pricing sources, in order of preference

1. Auctioneer Advanced (`AucAdvanced.API.GetMarketValue`, plus Appraiser

and BeanCounter fallbacks)

2. Auctioneer (legacy)

3. Auctionator (modern v1 API + legacy `Atr_*` globals)

4. TradeSkillMaster (`TSM_API.GetCustomPriceValue("dbmarket", ...)`)

5. Informant

6. Vendor sell price (always available)

If you have none of these, vendor prices are still used and the addon works.

## UI

- Movable, lockable main frame (`/sigt unlock` then drag, `/sigt lock`).

- Click the chevron on the frame to collapse / expand the per-item breakdown.

- **Start / Stop / Reset / Save / Reports** buttons on the frame.

## Reports

- Bar chart of every saved session. Toggle bar height between **Gold/hr**

and **Total**.

- Click any bar to load its full item breakdown below the chart.

- Delete unwanted sessions individually, or wipe all with `/sigt clearreports`.

- Goal calculator: type a target gold amount, see required time and session

count based on your average across all saved sessions.

## Compatibility

- **WoW TBC Classic 2.5.x** (Interface 20505).

- No required dependencies. Auc-Advanced, Auctioneer, Auctionator,

TradeSkillMaster, and Informant are all **OptionalDeps** — installed they

load first so their data is ready; missing they're skipped gracefully.

## Installation

1. Drop the `Should I Grind This` folder into

`World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\`.

2. Launch WoW, ensure it's enabled at the character-select AddOns list.

3. `/sigt help` in-game.
