Quick Auctions
Quick Auctions is an auction tool to help speed up auctioning large quantities of items, especially canceling. While primarily Quick Auctions is built for large quantities of items, it can work fine for a few auctions as well. A bit of tweaking is required to get optimal settings, but it is very flexible and smart enough that you can use it for more than just mindlessly undercutting auctions by 1 copper every time. Summary window and craft queues are included so you do not have to memorize every item and quantity you need. Shows total materials required to craft as well as allowing you to click from the craft queue to craft so no searching through everything.
Slash command: /qa (/quickauctions)
Groups
Groups are how you manage what items should be managed by Quick Auctions. You can set auction settings either as a default, or per group giving you flexibility over everything without having to duplicate your settings 50 times. There are no limits to how many items can be grouped, see the configuration in /qa config to set them up.
Mail
Includes a timer in the top left of the mailbox indicating how much time before new mail data becomes available, and if you are not using Postal then QA provides its own auto looting for mail. The auto looter will work with the timer on the mailbox cache so it will loot everything, wait until new mail is available and then keep looting.
Auto mailing can now be done per item or per group to any character you want. For example, you can setup your banker to send uncut gems to your jeweler and you can setup your jeweler to send cut gems to your banker. The auto mailer is intelligent in when it sends mail off, and works best when using QA mail looter. If you are trying to loot herbs from your mailbox while auto mailing them to your scribe, it will send mail off whenever it sees your inventory is full. Basically, if you have 4 open slots it will auto mail/loot with only 4 slots, no more clearing out your bags to loot mail anymore!
General options
- Smart undercutting - Instead of always using the undercut value, it will round it to the nearest gold piece if possible (10g99s -> 10g, 5g -> 5g - undercut price)
- Smart cancel - Cancels auctions a bit smarter than usual, will cancel an item if you can re list it at a higher price and won't cancel it if items are below the threshold
- Cancel with bid - Lets you choose if you want to cancel auctions with bids on them
Item options
- Auto mail - Automatically mail items directly to your banker that are managed by QA
- Post cap - How many of an item can be up at any one time (If you are undercut this number is reset)
- Post time - How long to post an auction
- Undercut - How much to undercut by
- Bid percent - How much bid should be set to as a percentage of buyout
- Threshold - Cap on how low an auction can go, if it'll be posted below the threshold price it won't be posted
- Per auction - How many items to post per an auction
- Fallback - If no other auctions are up, how much should it list an item for
- Fallback cap - How high above the fallback an item can go, helps prevent posting a single Frostweave Cloth at 100g if someone sets it at an extraordinary price
- Auto fallback - If the market price is below your thresold, QA will automatically post it at the fallback price
- Maximum price gap - How much of a price difference is allowed between the lowest and second lowest items before QA undercuts the second lowest, this will also cancel your auctions if the price gap gets too high
- Ignore stacks over - Allows you to ignore any auctions with a stack above X when determining price, useful if you want to post against the market price of 1 Abyss Crystal rather than the market price of posting 20 at once
What changed between 2 and 3?
While the configuration in QA2 was an improvement over the original QA, it still wasn't good enough. QA3 has a rewritten configuration and should be much easier for people to understand and use without having to learn to use QA through trial and error.
Scan speed has been increased quite a bit again and has been tightened up to reduce the chance of conflicts. In previous versions, QA would Query -> Wait 0.50 seconds -> Check Data -> Either parse it or wait 0.50 seconds, this made sure that whenever auctions were scanned all data was available including who posted them. The problem is, most of this data becomes available instantly after your initial 1-3 seconds. In 3 it's been changed: Query -> Check Data -> Wait 0.50 Seconds -> Parse or wait 0.50 seconds. Best case this means you will save 0.50 seconds per query (50 seconds/100 items), and worse case you won't see any speed increase.
Mail has been improved to make life easier for people, both a mail scrapper and a smarter mail sender were added. See the mail section above for more information.
Setting scope was improved, most basic options in QA including group settings have been moved to the global profile while server/faction specific settings can still be changed per profile. Letting you setup different profiles of how QA should handle different groups, without having to duplicate all of your group list over and over.
QA3 isn't done yet, and I have more planned still like summary improvements and easy buying of items
I mail all my BoE greens to my enchanter, is there any way to set a filter to automail all boe greens (non-soulbound?)
If not, please consider this for a future update :) ty
I recently switched realm and had to change my name... the thing is that the addon stopped working.
I've found out that in the *.lua file, my character name sometimes appears right ("Danzöo") and sometimes wrong ("Danz√∂o").
Could you give it a look? :)
Thank you very much!
It happened over a night, I haven't done anything unusual. Didn't update any addons nor crash the game.
I read the comments and someone had a similar occurrence, found anything on that?
So what now, start over and hope for it not to happen again? :( damn
am I have to reinstall qa2 & than qa3?
To test I put up 2 stacks of frostweave cloth 20 cloth per stack, 5s undercut, 2g50s threshold (vendor value for 1 stack), stacks were going for 9g buyout cheapest. It didn't post up the auction got a message saying the lowest buyout found was 26s. When I checked there was a 1 stack of 1 cloth for 26s bid 36s buyout there were no auctions up for 26s buyout.
So I changed the threshold to 0c, and posted the 2 stacks, and it ended up putting the stacks up at 0c bid 0c buyout.
To make things easier, i would like to suggest a new feature. Like one of the previous posters, i am also selling a lot of glyphs and once in a while i go to the Summary to add the missing glyphs that have been sold out. The problem is, that i only have a set amount of glyphs that i am crafting and when they sell out, i have to go through my glyphs list, find them in the summary and add the missing glyphs i need to reach 20 of each again.
Would it be possible to save a list of, lets say, 100 different glyphs and every time you do the scan in summary, with one button add all of the missing glyphs that you need to reach 20?
If not that, then at least i would like a way to select what glyphs i am crafting from the list so i don't have to alt-tab all the time and find the ones that i need? With a select list it would save sooooo much time.
Thanks.
Is there a setting to fix this or is this a bug with QA not using an <= instead of an < in the code?
I'd like to know if it'd be possible to add a feature so that when you've got the Summary open and you're deciding what to queue up, if you could make it remember what was in your bank as well. I know right now it shows whats in you inventory, but it sucks if I'd like to keep about 20 of all glyphs on hand at all times but obviously don't have the room in my bags for them to be detected in the Summary. So sometimes I run into the problem of Summary saying 3/3 and 0 in my inventory so I queue up 17, but I end up having say 12 in my bank, well now I've got to use 2 slots for both stacks, which is just inconvenient.
I'm able to get around this by only keeping about 10-20 in my bank/bags, but it's not always easy and I'm kind of OCD -.-, so I would GREATLY appreciate this feature.
If this is already in the addon and I'm just stupid, or I have some bug and it's supposed to work this way, I'm sorry!
Thanks again! Great addon!
