About Analyst

Detail Information

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What have I deposited or withdrawn from the guild bank?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).

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.

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:

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

It's not picking up the cash rewards from the new random LFG tool.

(Perhaps it should monitor total gold, and put changes it can't identify into 'other' so any other new rewards/costs get detected automatically?)

Ticket Created.

There is a Miscellaneous category in the Gold Gained report. For me, the gold from these special rewards shows up there. I might add a new category at some point in the fure and also start tracking the currencies (emblems) rewarded.

adimit said

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) ?

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Bethink said

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.

I've just installed analyst today, may I know how come I can't toggle the Economy Panel and Options?

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Bethink said

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

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Bethink said

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:
