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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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.

I'm not sure if there is something wrong in the TOC or could be the Curse Client.
The current version shows as r77, yet through Curse Client directly or the option for "Install via Curse Client" download's/install's r72 of the addon.

I had to manually download and install. Which isn't a problem for me, not worried about it. But just doing it for sake of noting the issue.

I for some reason couldn't get r72 to work for me, but r77 seem's to be fine.

Great addon btw! Keep up the good work!

yeah, it's really frustrating. the curse client needs to be told that you like beta mods, or it'll ignore them in favor of releases. the only reason the r72 version was set up as a release was cuz people kept reporting bugs from the old 0.80 version (which was designated a release by the old curse system).

i generally don't set things to be "release" quality unless it's something i know is solid (which, honestly, i never) except in this case i was kind of forced to. now people with the default cc settings don't get the latest even tho they assume they are.

it's possible that lsw isn't recognizing that there's new scan data. try setting the value price mod to something else, then back to min buyout and see if it changes things.

Some issues I'm having is I do a scan on my inscriptionist character, but then when I look at the value, it's doing some sort of average over like all my old scans too. Is there a way to set it so it just tells you what the current lowest price is? Other than me not being able to figure this out, I like this mod!

yeah, you can select different price models. for inscriptionists, the min buyout module (for auctioneer, anyway) is probably what you'd like. it uses the current snapshot and shows the lowest current price so you can see what kind of undercutting possibilities there are.

right click on the column data to select pricing modules. the cost column and value column can be set independently.

I'm sure I am missing something but here is a screenshot that shows my dilemna:
http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x233/Beatswow/qq.jpg
I have just finished a full scan and you can see the cheapest dancing rune weapon glyph is 78g10s75c, yet lsw is showing best value shown as 82g55s and you can also see I have Value Module set to Auctioneer Min Buyout. Is there some other setting I need to change?

hmm... the "Auction(10)" in the tooltip is saying there are 10 auctions for that item. and yet, there are only 4 in the live auctions list. when you do your search, does auctioneer do the "stage 2/stage 3" stuff where it adds that data into the current snapshot? the only thing i can figure is that lsw is using the current snapshot which is not up-to-date with the current state of the ah.

I have the most recent version of lsw and auctioneer. I am doing the scan literally seconds before this screenshot and I am getting the stage2/stage3 stuff too.

Is there some way to force LSW to sync with my current scan? I just tried scanning with Auctionlite and I'm seeing the exact same values in there (I just realized the values I see and in the screenshot are from the first time I did a scan with LSW installed).

Lastly, I found if delete all of my LSW files and reinstall it, it will give me fresh info based on the current AH prices, but then is 'stuck' with those prices until I delete/reinstall/rescan.

yeah, my original thought was to have a scaling factor for residuals. so you could say they're only worth 50% of what lsw would normally think. i haven't quite given in yet, but i'm close.

Profit% = Infinite?

If Residual material value is set to resale value then my material costs actually go into the negative. Is that because LSW assumes I'm going to sell the excess from the milling/prospecting? If it's set to purchase cost then it only seems to calculate the vendor items, not the other stuff.

Needless to say I think it's throwing my profit calculations off. Glyphs that won't sell at an acceptable price are considered highly profitable due to the milling extras rather than their own merit. Profit percentages come out as infinite. How can I reconfigure LSW to avoid this?

Thanks Sparky!

My toon is an enchanter/inscriptionist. I think this is actually spilling over on to her enchanting. Some costs have me making books to DE, selling the extra pigments/inks and then doing enchants with the DE mats.

yeah, there are some quirks that still need to be worked out.

the idea behind the residual materials is to account for what happens when you de/mill/prospect looking for one item, but end up with others. those other items have value, presumably, so lsw attempts to figure out what that value is.

perhaps i need to account for the ah cut when factoring these numbers. that might prevent slim margins from becoming silly when lsw suggests you craft 40 of them to get the mats for some other item. maybe some kind of diminishing returns type system would work as well -- sort of a price deflation scheme.

overall the cost-basis stuff is a little bit sketchy still, but i'm working on it when i get the time. you might notice the current version's tooltips for cost don't match the main window's cost column. i think the tooltip is more accurate, so i have to figure out why they're different now...

maybe there'd be some way to identify items that are less profitable than the simple milling process. or better yet, to identify when milling is more profitable than making glyphs...

I've spent the last few days thinking of a helpful solution to this. The only thing I can think of is to allow users to disable use of residuals when calculating the costs.

/shrug/
Best I can come up with.

Try updating both ATSW and LilSparky's Workshop to their latest version using the curse client. If you are still using WowMatrix - there is the problem.
