Tally — Personal Capital for World of Warcraft

Tally is a portfolio dashboard for World of Warcraft. It tracks the gold, items, tokens, and auctions you own across every character on every account, calculates your net worth, captures price and inventory history over time, and gives you a research view for any item you ask about.

Tally isn't here to replace the great tools you already use — it's built to augment them. TSM handles pricing data and posting rules. FlipQueue handles cross-realm flipping. Auctionator handles shopping. Tally pulls them all into one dashboard where you can see what you own, what it's worth, how it's evolving, and where the gold is going.

Step 1: See What You're Worth

The foundation of any portfolio dashboard is knowing what you own. Tally rolls every tradeable item, every piece of gear, every active auction, every WoW Token, and every gold piece on every character into one number.

Cross-character net worth — gold + items + tokens + AH-listed inventory, summed across every character on every account
Saleable vs owned-worth — net worth defaults to saleable only (excludes soulbound), with owned-worth as a separate view that includes equipped gear, void storage, and bound items
Active AH auctions count toward net worth — items currently listed are still being sold, so they're saleable by definition
Warband bank — surfaced as its own bucket so you can see what's pooled vs. what's per-character
Per-character breakdown — see which characters carry the most value, what's gold vs. items, and where to focus
TSM-backed valuations — uses any TSM custom price expression you choose (DBRegionMarketAvg by default), with WoW Token live pricing and vendor-price fallback when TSM isn't installed

Step 2: Watch It Evolve

Net worth is a stock. The interesting question is the flow — how is your portfolio changing over time, and where's the value going?

Net-worth-over-time chart — visualize how total value is moving across the last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or all of recorded history
7d / 30d Δ in the LDB tooltip — at-a-glance trend without opening the UI, color-coded by direction
Strategy-keyed price history — every owned item's price is recorded under the active TSM strategy, so you can see how the market has moved on each item without losing data when you switch strategies
Per-character per-location inventory history — track how holdings shift between bags, bank, AH, void, and across characters over time
Historical net-worth replay — /tally networth at -7d reconstructs your total at any past time using the nearest-prior price + inventory snapshots
Configurable cadence and retention — snapshots default to every 6 hours, kept for a year with a daily-rollup past 30 days. All four knobs are user-configurable from chat
No external service — everything stays in your SavedVariables; no telemetry, no upload

Step 3: Drill Into Any Item

Per-item research that combines pricing across every TSM source, your sales history (when FlipQueue is installed), where the item lives across your characters, and how its price and inventory have moved over time.

/tally research <itemlink-or-id> — full record for any item, drillable from chat
Multi-source pricing snapshot — DBMarket, DBRegionMarketAvg, DBRegionSaleAvg, DBHistorical, DBMinBuyout, vendor — all visible, not just the one your strategy chose
Saleable / bound / per-location ownership — see exactly where your copies live: bags, bank, mail, equipped, void, auctions, warbank
Sales + auction history — pulled read-only from FlipQueue's log when FlipQueue is installed; preserves FlipQueue's existing record shape
7d / 30d trend deltas — for both price and inventory count, with per-character attribution when multiple characters moved
Bonus-ID aware — bare item IDs aggregate across all variants; full item links match exactly

Step 4: Plugs Into Your Toolkit

Tally is designed to enrich the tools you already run, not compete with them.

Syndicator (required)

Tally reads inventory directly from Syndicator — no separate scanner, no duplicated overhead. Bags, bank, warband, mail, equipped, void, and active auctions all flow through Syndicator's cache and update live.

TradeSkillMaster (recommended)

TSM provides the price data Tally values items against. Any TSM custom price expression works as your strategy. Without TSM, Tally falls back to vendor sell price as a floor.

FlipQueue (recommended)

When FlipQueue is installed, Tally reads its sales log read-only and surfaces sales history, active auctions, and posting failures in /tally research. FlipQueue keeps owning the writes; Tally complements with the analytics view.

Sibling cogs in the Cogworks suite

Tally ships alongside Cogworks (shared library), FlipQueue (auction-house workflow), Tempo (daily/weekly task cadence), and Maxcraft (profession planning). Each is fully functional standalone; together they share the suite-wide minimap chrome and themable UI.

Roadmap

In active development, in priority order:

Item Research panel — bring /tally research out of chat into a proper UI with sparklines for price + inventory history and per-character drill-downs
History settings UI — interval / retention / rollup controls in the main frame instead of via chat
Run-rate analytics — consumption vs. sales flow metrics. How much Aether Vellum am I burning per week?
Sales ledger migration from FlipQueue — eventually Tally absorbs FlipQueue's transaction log and becomes the authoritative ledger for the suite, exposing a canonical read API for cross-cog analytics
Profit/loss dashboard — built on top of ledger × pricing history once the migration lands

Requirements

WoW Retail (current expansion)
Syndicator is a hard dependency — Tally uses it as the single source of truth for inventory across all your characters

Recommended (greatly enhanced experience but optional):

TradeSkillMaster for pricing
FlipQueue for sales history in /tally research

Getting Started

Install Tally alongside Syndicator and (optionally) TradeSkillMaster
/tally show — opens the main frame with the net-worth-over-time chart
/tally networth — chat-based net-worth summary with per-character breakdown
/tally research <itemlink-or-id> — full record for any item
/tally history — see history config and snapshot stats; tune interval / retention / rollup as you like
