LilSparky's Workshop

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

LilSparky's Workshop adds auction-derived pricing information for trade skills right into the trade skill recipe frame. Each skill is evaluated for material costs and potential value of the item created. These two numbers are listed next to each skill in an easy-to-read format.

Supported Auction Scanners:

Auctioneer
AuctionLite
AuctionMaster
Auctionator

Optionally Requires:

Informant (for vendor availability)

LibPeriodicTable (for vendor availability)

Trade Skill Interfaces Supported:

GnomeWorks
AdvancedTradeSkillWindow
Skillet
Blizzard's Standard UI
Doublewide Tradeskills
Tradeskill HD

Auction pricing models can be selected by right-clicking either the value column or the cost column (each can have a different pricing method attached).

The Value column can be left clicked to cycle through the different valuation methods for the resultant item: Auction Value (a), Vendor Value (v), Disenchant Value (d) or the greatest of the three different values (the default). Any instance of an item Value being greater than the Cost to create it will have a highlighted Value entry. Optionally, the Value column can be displayed as a percentage of the Cost column.

The Cost column simply sums up the costs for each reagent and reports the total.

Both columns can be combined into a single "Profit" column which simply reflects the Value minus the Cost.

Tooltips for each column give more details about the price breakdowns LSW is considering.

A note regarding vendor availability:

LSW utilizes supplied item databases to determine when an item is readily available from a vendor. Occasionally this may not be accurate, usually because the item is a trade in for another item and not buyable with gold. I have provided a simple way to over-ride the vendor database:

/script LSWConfig.vendorOverride[item#] = (true/false/nil)

The item# is the item ID for the specific item. It is a single number. For example, 2589 is Linen Cloth.
Setting the value to "true" means the item is available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "false" means the item is not available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "nil" means to use the provided databse.

There is now also a right-click option to override the vendor availability and also to hand enter specific prices for items.

A note about frame/auction support:

LSW utilizes a plug in scheme to handle support to handle pricing and frame support. I am unlikely to add additional plugins directly into LSW. The goal of the plugin system is to provide basic templates that other addon authors could employ to provide LSW support on their end while at the same time providing functionality for a base set of common mods. Addon authors are free to contact me regarding the plugin system if issues arise or the system doens't make sense.

Is there any chance of being able to move to little popup frame that appears at the bottom right when you mouse over stuff?

Also is there an option to keep the same auctioneer pricing module? It seems to rever back to market and I would like it to stay as appraiser.

Great addon, just downloaded today. Is there anyway of hiding the level column as I would like the whole thing shifted over to the left a bit in ATSW?

I would like to see one change made for enchanting. There is no resale price listed for enchants, but we can sell most of them on the AH now. It would be great if we could somehow have the price for the scrolls we get through scanning to show up next to our enchants.

yes, this is the intention. right now, if your last auction scan has any enchantment scrolls, those scrolls will show a price. what is needed is a means to connect itemid's to the enchantment spellid's so that i can look up items by id and not just name.

If your saying after I do a scan it will put in the prices, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong because mine still just shows the --a. Also I don't know what the # on the left side is, but is there a way to remove it?

if you use "appraiser" for the pricing module, it'll use whatever pricing scheme you have selected in appraiser. since appraiser can have custom pricing schemes per item, you can effectively set each item to have its own pricing model.

i think what i'll probably do is make the two column (value and cost) use different price modules if you choose...

What I'd love is if for auctioned materials it either took the average cost out of Auctioneer's beancounter statistics for purchased materials, if present, or if it let me set a cost. I have a threshold above which I won't buy raw materials, which is often lower than the market value of the herbs because I play the market.

For sell value I'd love to be able to use undercut.

Or for sell value, I'd like to use the average of the last 5-10 things I have actually sold, also from beancounter.

By the way, this addon is really wonderful even as it is; this would just make it a little more useful from my perspective.

Great addon, I was looking for something like that for some time !

Feature Request:
Could you color code the benefits of each craft (using the background color) ?

I'd prefer the color depending on the benefit%, something like:
0% or Less: Black
01-10%: Blue
11-25%: Green
26-50%: Yellow
51-100%: Orange
101% or More: Red

But maybe other people would like something based on the benefit value ?

looking for a long time? then i'm not doing something right cuz this has been out for a long time!

not sure i understand what you mean by benefit value/percent... you mean the profit for each item? if you view the values as profit%'s it will color the #'s based on whether they are good (white) or bad (red). good just means value > cost.

i'm a little hesitant to add much more in the way of colors. i think the beauty of the system is that you can see items that are profitable pretty quickly because they are brighter than the others. if i introduce colors, i'm afraid that the money colors and varyin brightness of the profitable items might end up being a bit of overload and turn into a mess.

if you use skillet, you can sort by cost, value, or profit to arrange the crafts in a way which, i think, would serve the same purpose as a coloring scheme.

Well yes, I knew Enchantrix won't use AuctionLite prices. The question was if Workshop relies on price calculation from Enchantrix (which further relies on Auctioneer), or if it just uses the disenchant probabilities from Enchantrix, and take the price from whatever else I've got installed (i.e. AuctionLite).

Of course your idea makes the whole question moot :) Here's all the info you need: http://www.wowwiki.com/Disenchanting_tables (but you probably already knew ;) )

I've recently started using AuctionLite, and was happy when I found this addon today and saw it also supports AuctionLite. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to use Enchantrix without Auctioneer? i.e. will Workshop use disenchant statistics from Enchantrix and price data from AuctionLite, or will it use only Enchantrix for disenchant price value?

exactly. i use enchantix's built-in pricer rather than caclulating on my own. but as you've already found, the information is pretty basic to determine de results. shouldn't be too hard to add.

i'm not sure how enchantrix would function, but there's no way it would use auctionlite values. i think, tho, that it wouldn't be too hard to add enchantrix functionality directly into lsw now that i'm supporting more auction scanners... it's really just a matter of a few different tables for the de results.
