MatsCost

I have a problem. i cant find how to change options. And when using it I dont understand what kind of price it uses. the one it shows are totaly out of proportion. I have auctioneer and the price matscost show are totaly irrelevant to any form of pricing auctioneer makes. It might be because i cant reach any option button and cant find any command to use. Can anyone help me.

I do love this addon very much - thank you for bringing it to the public.

Quick question; would it be possible to tweak this for Inscription somewhere? I mean, easily, since I'm not sure how it is on other realms (I'm strictly Sisters of Elune), but there is almost never a case where inks are up for sale on AH, and it makes figuring out the mats cost for Inscription difficult. Any way for a noncoder to possibly tweak it so that the ink costs are based off the cost of millable plants? Or would it be too complicated to manage without the help of a solid coder?

please make compatible with auctionator :)

Please update for 3.1

This addon had exactly the functionality I was missing from Tradeskill Profit Maximization - the ability to print a list of the most profitable items depending on paramters set.

Do you have any plans to include support for logic AND of both minprofit in gold and percentage? Say for instance, items should both yield a 30% profit and at least 1 gold. Should be a trivial task, might try doing it myself.

I would love to use this addon, but I have issues with it. I have accurate scan data, twice a day for 2 years plus. I use the latest auctioneer, I dropped "classic" almost a year ago. The issue that I have is simply...inaccurate mat costs. Can you please go into more detail as to how this mod actually averages prices? Auctioneer has several statistics modules. Is it an average of all of them? When an item is new, price is high. As time goes by prices fall. Example: Goldclover *simple prices (seen 29,000)14day=1.83 7day=1.51 3day=1.34 *Histogram (seen 2000) median 2.34 IQR=1.40 *Std Dev mean=1.31 normalized=1.21 *Sales-sold 88 @3.34, normalized to 3.25 and last, *purchased prices(aucs that end early and are assumed sold) 14day=1.84 7day=1.51 3day=1.32 (trending downward.)Based on the numbers returned by 3 of these 5 sets of prices, current (3day) goldclover is about 1.33g. Auc shows a "market price" of 1.77 So how then, does this mod return 2 goldclover=6.55g as my mat cost? The sales I made were long ago, and should not be counted towards current pricing. Not only that, my 88 sold doesn't weight nearly as high as the 29,000 simple prices, 2000 histogram, or 343 purchased prices scanned. Any info at all would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you have Enchantrix loaded with AucAdv and mouseover any Recipe/formula link, the tooltip will display a breakdown of the mats cost. "Alchemy: Elixir of Armor Piercing" for example. Enchantrix can be set to call its prices from any of 11 modules from AucAdv, this is set on the "Auctions" page of Enchantrix, "item value calculated from" This is quite a nifty feature for figuring out mat costs on anything expensive.

When Enchantrix is set to call from "AucAdv Market Value" it shows the exact same price that AucAdv shows in its tooltip as "Market Price" I assume this is the AucAdvanced.API.GetMarketValue.

I urge you to load Enchantrix with AucAdv and and set it as described, then mouseover various recipe LINKS from a profession book, and compare what the Auc/Enchantrix tooltip shows against what MatsCost shows for the same item. You will see wildly divergent pricing. If they both call the same numbers, then they both should be the same, or at least reasonably close. I'm afraid they aren't, however.

Does this only work off of AH Prices of Mats?
Would be really cool if it knew how much I bought a item for, DE'd it, count how many mats I got out of that, then give me a price based on that instead of AH prices.

I would love to see AuctionMaster integration! ty!

hi, great addon...

could you also add suport for Auction Master, it is great auction addon that is used by many people instead of Auctioneer...

it would be great, keep up the good work, tnx

If you want to get auction statistics from AuctionMaster, you should have a look at the function "GetAuctionInfo" in "Statistic.lua". "isNeutral" has to be set to "false" for the faction auction house.

i can only say thanks in advance if u implement it...

its working!!!, yeay, good ratings to the roof :-)

nice idea, but im not sure how matscost is generating the avg cost for mats. say i want to make 100 runic mana pots, i want the avg price calculated of the first 100 goldclover and 200 lichbloom, not the avg price of all 1000 of each mat that might exist on the AH, which now has matscost listing the price to make a runic mana pot 30-40% higher (based on my servers mat prices) than what it would cost to make those 100. in fact for most of the craftable items, matscost lists the cost to make them much higher than what they actually cost based on the AH info. Perhaps you could allow an option that calcs the mats' cost avgs based on a user setting. So say I only want to make 5 of a crafted item, i set Matscost setting CalcAvgMatPrice to 5, so it would calc the mats cost based on the lowest 5 buyout prices of each of the needed mats (if there was only 1 of each mat used to make the item, for example).
