About Analyst

Analyst collects information about the virtual economy and presents that information to the player. In its Economy panel, Analyst answers questions such as the following:

How much gold did I earn and how?
How much gold did I spend and on what?
How am I doing in the auction house?
What have I looted from mobs?
What items did I consume?
What items did I produce?
How many currencies (marks, badges, emblems) have I collected?
What have I deposited or withdrawn from the guild bank?
What is my gathering and crafting activity?
... and much more

All reports can be shown over a configurable period (days, weeks, month).

Screenshots

The Economy panel lets you choose between the various reports offered by Analyst. Also, the reporting period of time can be chosen. Central information is displayed in the top frame. Data from two selected reports in shown in the bottom frames.

Economy Panel

For the This Week report, the start day of week can be configured in the options. For example, a raid player may want to set the start day of week to the beginning of the raid ID period.

If you mouseover a statistic item, a tooltip provides detailed drill-down information on that statistic:

Detail Information

Usage

If you have a Lightweight Data Broker (LDB) container add-on such as Titan Panel, Analyst shows in that container. Left-clicking the Analyst icon toggles the Economy panel; right-clicking the icon shows the options.

If you do not have an LDB container, type /analyst economy to toggle the Economy panel and /analyst options to show the options.

Analyst provides a key binding to toggle the Economy panel. You may want to assign a key to that binding to gain quick access to Analyst.

For me, it doesn't: http://imgur.com/ENL9h (i.e. I'm getting only Emblems of Triumph, because I ran the daily quest already, but the 26g from it don't show up. They're not hidden in either questing, vendor selling or auctions (I calculated that.) Dunno if they may be hidden under 'looting.'

I'd love to have a separate category for the gold rewards from LFD, so I can weigh my mostly pug-induced repair costs against the gold I'm gaining from pugging.

Furthermore, I have the feeling that it misses stuff from time to time. For example, I'm sure it missed about 30g repair bills, but I'm not sure why, or when :-\

Anyhow, awesome addon! I'll look into the source, maybe I can implement the pug-rewards thing myself.

Been looking for ages for an addon that doesn't require extra plugins to monitor my gold income. Keep up the good work!

seems to have some problems with mail addons.

when I open lots of mail at once with Postal, it doesn't add the details from them (auction sold -> glyph of explosive shot, for example) but puts the money under "mail" instead.
works correctly when I open them manually 1 by 1, though.

is there any way for you to fix this, or is it a problem with other addon(s) ?

Quick answer: Unfortunately, this cannot be fixed by Analyst.

The problem is that automatic mail opening add-ons delete auction sold messages before the auction details have been transmitted from the game server.

When you open an auction sold message manually for the first time, you will notice that there is a slight delay until the auction details are shown. If during that delay you delete the message, you will never see the details. This is basically what happens when an add-on automatically processes auction sold messages.

The UI integration requires an LDB container such as Titan Panel.

If you do not use that, you want to assign a key binding to the "Toggle Economy Panel" option, and you can access the options from the game settings on the Add-Ons tab.

My first Post :)

Thanks for updating this awesome addon it’s very nice to see where I am making my money and especially how much I have made. I love running the old instances for fun and seeing how much pocket change I have made at the end of the day. Having to go into my achievements and recording the before and after amounts, is just inconvenient which is why addons like this little gem exist. One of the only of its kind that I could find. So thanks.

I love that it records what you pick up as well, almost everything it’s awesome. I have one tiny bit of advice to make this addon PERFECT. Can you put a start recording option on the addon? Like I said I love running instances would be awesome to enter an instance START recording and see just how much I made from a single run. Blizzard has even added a stopwatch for me. I can be like, “I made 23g 34s 91c from just looting in a run that took 0hours 21minutes 30seconds” just a small example. Would be very, very, convenient. If not its cool still going to use analyst for all the goodies it offers and enjoy it immensely.

Just wanted to put in my two cents and say THANKS a TON! Love it.

could it be that the hunter pet respec is for free now? anyways, the non existing target analyst tries to hook on to is as the error states in line 226, you can just delete that line to fix it (open capture.lua in notepad, goto line (ctrl+g) 226, delete the line)

i don't remember what exactly it was, something like PetTalentUnlearn

That is correct. The error is indeed related to the ConfirmPetTalentWipe() API which as been removed in WoW 3.1 as pet respecs are now always free.

Fixed in 1.0.7.

Well first off this is a great addon, I absolutely love it!

I have one request / Idea to make it even more awesome & helpful..
There's a addon called "MoneyWiz that shows a real time frame of how much gold you are collecting over time, and when u hover over it it shows various stats like your addon. But it includes how much gold you have on all your toons that are on the same server & you can reset the Gold gained so you can keep track of how much gold you get out of a certain instance.
It would be great to have one that can't reset & one that can so u can keep track of it every copper.

Is there anyway you would consider integrating something like this into your addon?

Bethink not sure if you read this comments section on a regular basis, but I just found out that running Analyst and Quest Helper at the same time causes QH to generate double entries in the tooltip which tracks quests:

Disabling Analyst solves this problem.

I do track the comments section from time to time. Unfortuantely, there is no way to receive notifications when new comments are posted. Therefore, I recommend creating a ticket on WowAce when reporting bugs or requesting features: http://www.wowace.com/projects/analyst/tickets/

Creating a ticket for this problem.

This is the only add on that actually tracks spending etc just like I wanted. I only have one issue. The discard of data over 30 days. Can we have an option to have total over lifetime? If there is concern about data size, perhaps an option to delete data in lifetime beyond the 30 days for people who enable the feature? I only ask because the only other addon that does what yours does, does not work right at all. Yours is simple.
All I need is that lifetime tab. Any way that can happen? Thank you for your hard work!!

Creating a ticket for this request. It might be possible to maintain stats on an unlimited basis when the detail rill-downs are omitted. I will have to analyze this further.
