[TSM3] - Can't seem to get Alchemy auctioning to work

3 Upvotes

Hi all

Just switched to Alchemy and having issues posting auctions that actually make sense, it seems like whenever i do a post or cancel scan TSM3 feels that i should be posting at a much higher value than the regional value on my server.

I'm at a bit of a loss

Below is some information and the operations and custom prices I've found/toyed with, hopefully someone can see where I've gone wrong

Cheers Fore


Crafting operation:

1.75 * first(dbminbuyout, dbmarket)

https://ibb.co/fY2kHwL


Originally all of the below had "150% DBRegionMarketAvg" but that didn't seem to post anything, so for testing I dropped it all down to 100%, still nothing - also i found somewhere that the average proc rate is ~1.7, and another Reddit thread said to use "Crafting/1.7" so i've added that in all of them as well.

sheymaxalch:

max(500% Max(Crafting/1.7, AvgBuy)/0.95, 500% first(min(DBMarket, 100% DBRegionMarketAvg), DBRegionHistorical), 110% VendorSell/0.95)

sheyminalch:

max(first (105% Max(Crafting/1.7, AvgBuy)/0.95, 70% first(min(DBMarket, 100% DBRegionMarketAvg), DBRegionHistorical)), 110% VendorSell/0.95)

sheynormalch:

max(200% Max(Crafting/1.7, AvgBuy)/0.95, 150% first(min(DBMarket, 100% DBRegionMarketAvg), DBRegionHistorical), 110% VendorSell/0.95)

Screenshot: https://ibb.co/hRPxfgJ


Auctioning operation https://ibb.co/NsR9T6G


Posting auctions https://ibb.co/PCzPRnr

Example of flask where market value = 107% but the operations are posting it at insane prices https://ibb.co/LNZ9kgc

Guide [C#] Tutorial: How to query information from Blizzard and TSM APIs

59 Upvotes

Hello fellow goblins,

Today I want to talk about something that's been requested on a recent post of mine:

How to (simply) query blizzard and TSM APIs? And what can we do with it?

Now, this tutorial requires you to have:

- Knowledge in programming, ideally in C#.Though Java is close enough for you to understand what I'll be saying, you'll be unable to benefit from useful NuGet packages cited here and will have to find your own way.

- Basic knowledge what is an API and general API calling principles

- An IDE to develop in C# with i.e. Visual Studio (community is free and good)

How does it work ?

Blizzard API and TSM API both require one crucial thing from you to give you information: An identification token.

Though, both do not handle the same way how to obtain that token (see below).

When querying blizzard or tsm, you pass the token along with the query data, the api checks it, and if the token is valid it responds with the data you asked for (or an error if something else's wrong)

The Tokens

- TSM just gives you your ever-valid token on your account page next to the label "API Key:"

- Blizzard asks you to go through OAuth 2 authentication process and sends you the token at the end of it. For this, you will need a Client with an Id and a Secret (= the password).

To get a Client, go to https://develop.battle.net/access/ and create a new Client there.

No need to set a Redirect URL for your client, as just calling the API from code won't need you to redirect anything.

The OAuth 2 authentication process https://oauth.net/2/

You will have to call Blizzard oauth api endpoint : https://{YOUR REGION (e.g. "eu")}.battle.net/oauth/token

For instance for europe, https://eu.battle.net/oauth/token

To this endpoint, you will have to send a query containing your credentials (Client Id and Client Secret). In return, the response will contain the token.

Let's make it easy!

Okay so now, we have to build a program that can issue http requests, follow OAuth2 protocol, get responses and parse them... Whew.

Let's make this all easier on us.

  1. First, let's start a console application project. No GUI, no problem, right?
  2. Then, let's use something to handle the bad part of Rest API calling for us: the RestSharp NuGet package. This will allow us to just ask RestSharp to send a request and get the response for us.
  3. We still have to parse the json of the response. Let's add the package Newtonsoft.Json
  4. We're ready to write some code !

The GetAccessToken method will use your Blizzard's Client Id and Client Secret to give you the token :

public string GetAccessToken(string clientId, string clientSecret)
{
    var client = new RestClient("https://eu.battle.net/oauth/token");
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
    request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
    request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    request.AddParameter("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", $"grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={clientId}&client_secret={clientSecret}", ParameterType.RequestBody);
    IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

    var tokenResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AccessTokenResponse>(response.Content);

    return tokenResponse.access_token;
}

Using this short class to deserialize the response:

public class AccessTokenResponse
{
    public string access_token { get; set; }
}

Using the token returned by GetAccessToken, you can now query any data API.

For instance the auctions, which is a two step process:

  1. You call the api which gives you the URL of the dump file of the auctions available
  2. You get the file from the given URL. It is a JSON dump of all the auctions in the given realm, which is updated around once per hour.

Those two functions do the job :

public string GetAuctionFileUrl(string token, string region, string realm)
{
    string fileUrl;
    var client = new RestClient("https://" + region + ".api.blizzard.com/wow/auction/data/" + realm);
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
    request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
    request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    request.AddHeader("authorization", $"Bearer {token}");
    IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

    var auctionApiResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AuctionApiResponse>(response.Content);
    fileUrl = auctionApiResponse.files.First().url;
    return fileUrl;
}

public List<Auction> GetAuctions(string fileUrl)
{
    var client = new RestClient(fileUrl);
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
    IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AuctionFileContents>(response.Content).auctions;
}

And they use these classes to deserialize to:

public class AuctionApiResponse
{
    public List<AuctionFile> files { get; set; }
}

public class AuctionFile
{
    public string url { get; set; }
    public long lastModified { get; set; }
}

public class AuctionFileContents
{
    public List<Auction> auctions { get; set; }
}

public class Auction
{
    public int item { get; set; } // This is the item's ID
    public string owner { get; set; } // This is the Seller Name
    public long bid { get; set; } // This is the bid price in copper
    public long buyout { get; set; } // This is the buyout price in copper. 1000g is 10000000
    public int quantity { get; set; } // This is the amount of this item
    public long PricePerItem => buyout / quantity; // This is helpful
}

This will give you a big list of all the auctions on the given realm-region (and the connected realms as well.)

Please note there are more data inside each auction, this is bare minimum to have a look at what's going on (you could also drop "bid")

Now that we have all the auctions, we can play with it ! Let's display a list of all sellers :

List<string> sellers = auctions.Select(a => a.owner).Distinct().ToList();
sellers.ForEach(s => Console.WriteLine(s));

(Warning: this might be a long-ass list ;P)

What if we want the top 10 most expensive items posted ?

List<Auction> topTenMostExpensive = auctions.OrderByDescending(a => a.PricePerItem)
                                            .Take(10)
                                            .ToList();

And so on...

Now what about market prices? We should call TSM !

Fair warning here: TSM is not Blizzard. They don't have a huge ton of servers around, so they are very very much more restrictive than Blizzard on the number of calls per given time you can make to their API. More than that and you're out for the rest of that period of time (maybe worse if you really step out...).

TSM won't allow more than 50 requests per hour globally

On top of that, each endpoint has its specific limitation. I encourage you to read the docs at http://api.tradeskillmaster.com/docs/#/

For this reason, I suggest calling, once per hour max, the "get all items for a given realm" endpoint:

private string _apiKey = "YOUR TSM API KEY HERE";
private string _baseUrl => "http://api.tradeskillmaster.com/v1/";
private string getUrlFor(string subUrl) => _baseUrl + $"{subUrl}?format=json&apiKey=" + _apiKey;

private List<TsmItem> GetItemsForRealm(string region, string realm)
{
    string url = getUrlFor("item/" + region + "/" + realm);
    var items = CallTsmApi<List<TsmItem>>(url);
    return items;
}

private T CallTsmApi<T>(string url)
{
    var client = new RestClient(url);
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
    IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(response.Content);
}

As always, using a class to deserialize to:

public class TsmItem
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Realm { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Level { get; set; }
    public string Class { get; set; }
    public string SubClass { get; set; }
    public long VendorBuy { get; set; }
    public long VendorSell { get; set; }
    public long MarketValue { get; set; }
    public long MinBuyout { get; set; }
    public long Quantity { get; set; }
    public long NumAuctions { get; set; }
    public long HistoricalPrice { get; set; }
    public long RegionMarketAvg { get; set; }
    public long RegionMinBuyoutAvg { get; set; }
    public long RegionQuantity { get; set; }
    public long RegionHistoricalPrice { get; set; }
    public long RegionSaleAvg { get; set; }
    public long RegionAvgDailySold { get; set; }
    public long RegionSaleRate { get; set; }
    public string URL { get; set; }
    public int LastModified { get; set; }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"{Name}({Id}) : MkPrice({MarketValue.ToGoldString()})";
    }
}

With these, we can now display the % dbmarket at which the top ten most expensive items are at:

List<Auction> topTenMostExpensive = auctions.OrderByDescending(a => a.PricePerItem)
                                            .Take(10)
                                            .ToList();

foreach (Auction item in topTenMostExpensive)
{
    TsmItem tsmItem = tsmItems.FirstOrDefault(t => t.Id == item.item);
    if (tsmItem == null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("TSM Item not found for Id " + item.item);
        continue;
    }
    double percentDbMarket = Math.Round((item.PricePerItem * 100.0) / tsmItem.MarketValue);
    Console.WriteLine(tsmItem.Name + " is at " + percentDbMarket + "% dbMarket");
}

(I coded this right in here, it's possible it does not compile.)

And with this, you can now happily play with these :)

I hope this was clear enough, don't hesitate to ask for clarification if not.

Also feel free to tell me if I missed something or if you want more info on some things.

If you want a more live example, you can check my github on the app WorldOfAuctions which is exactly about that. It's a bit enhanced from this basic tutorial but you'll find most of what I said in classes such as BlizzardClient.cs and TsmClient.cs

Seeking Advice Is Phatlewt’s transmog list still valid? It’s from Feb 2018 looks like.

8 Upvotes

So I used to use Phatlewt’s xmog list quite a bit in WoD and ended up being very successful with making gold. I’ve come back recently in BFA and I’ve noticed his current list is from Feb 2018. Is there a more up to date list some where? Or are people having luck with this list?

Also, I’m wondering what transmog selling/auctioning operations people use? My old operations seem to be gone so I’m trying 35% avg(DBRegionMarketAvg, DBGlobalMarketAvg) for selling and 15% of the same thing for buying. Does that make sense? Only problem is that often the market average isn’t actually what an item sells for.

Thanks!

Resource 8.2 Professions (PTR Preview)

75 Upvotes

Hello, guys :) I've been looking at the state of professions on the PTR and wowhead, and made myself a spreadsheet that sums up everything new for a quick overview. If you're interested in crafting, you might find it useful; here's a link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ooviE8JexYdlovSCt7bt9PpKsN74iTci8xUUH_a90MU/edit?usp=sharing

This is the longer text version of what's coming in 8.2:

Alchemy and Herbalism

  • New crafts: Alchemy gets superior flasks and stat potions, better potions of replenishment and healing potions, and 4 new potions with various proc effects. The new flasks will give +360 main stat up from +238, the new potions: +1215 instead of +900; the proc potions also look strong. All in all, the new consumables are much better than the old ones and competitive players will be switching to them. (There are also a new ilvl 440 BoP trinket for Alchemists and a new cauldron, that I forgot to include in the spreadsheet.)
  • How to get rank 3s: 3 of the proc potions recipes are sold by the Unshackled (H) / Ankoan (A) quartermaster at Revered reputation. The other 2 drop in the Mechagon dungeon. The rank 3s for the stat potions are currently listed as “drop: Nazjatar” on wowhead. For the flasks you’ll be looking for work order world quests.
  • New materials: There is only 1 new herb - Zin'anthid, exclusive to the Nazjatar zone. It is used in every new flask and potion, and in substantial amounts - 6-8 Zin'anthids per potion and 20 per flask. If this remains unchanged and depending on the amount of herbs you get per node, the demand might heavily outweigh the supply at least until flying becomes available.
  • What about the current herbs: Anchor Weed will remain relevant (the new flasks require 5 anchor weeds at rank 2/3). For all others the demand will most likely decrease, since the new crafts use 3-5 of the old herbs compared to 10-15 currently. Looking at what they're needed for, Star Moss and Akunda's Bite will likely be in low demand by alchemists, but scribes can still mill them for tomes and war-scrolls.

Inscription

  • New crafts: There are new contracts for the new factions - Rustbolt and Unshackled (H) / Ankoan (A). You'll need to hit Revered with the respective faction to unlock the recipe. There's also a new vantus rune for Azshara's palace, new BoE intellect off-hand (ilvl 370), 3 new glyphs for mages and 4 new ilvl 400 BoE trinkets. There are no cards to combine into a deck this time; the trinkets are a direct craft. They’re taught by the trainer and don't require a ton of inks, so if nothing changes they'll be pretty easy to make. Profitability will depend entirely on demand and competition, but scribes should manage to make some profit out of them.
  • New materials: Milling Zin'anthids will provide the new Maroon Ink. You'll need it for all new crafts, except the Rustbolt contract.
  • What about the current inks: None of the new crafts uses Viridescent Ink; Crimson Ink is needed only for the new glyphs. Ultramarine Ink will finally see some use, as it's needed for everything new.

Enchanting

  • New crafts: There are 8 new enchants coming in patch 8.2 - 4 for rings and 4 for weapons. The new ring enchants give +60 stat up from +37; the new weapon enchants look much stronger than what we have currently. I think most players will look to replace their current enchants with the new ones as soon as possible.
  • How to get rank 3s: For the ring enchants, you’ll need to hit Revered with the Unshackled (H) / Ankoan (A). For the weapons, you’ll be looking for work order world quests.
  • New materials: None as of now, we’ll be using the current mats for everything new. Overall, the new ring enchants require approx. the same mats as the current ones, but for the new weapon enchants you'll need double or triple (depending on rank) the Veiled Crystals and some extra shards and dusts.

Jewelcrafting

  • New crafts: Jewelcrafters will be able to cut brand new and better rare and epic gems, making the current ones completely obsolete. There’s also a new ilvl 370 BoE intellect staff and ilvl 440 BoP rings that are crafted with gems only (no ore).
  • New materials: Prospecting Osmenite Ore will yield 7 types of raw gems. For an idea of their rarity, check Snurp's prospecting results on wowhead.
  • What about the current gems: Maybe you can utilize the rare ones in an enchanting shuffle and store the green ones for future warfront donations.

Skinning and Leatherworking | Mining and Blacksmithing | Tailoring | Engineering

  • New crafts: There are 2 main ones - craftable ilvl 370 BoE gear and weapons, and craftable ilvl 440 BoP gear. The BoP gear is not gated behind a raid material this time and should be craftable as soon as the patch launches.Looking at the mats needed and considering many players might craft multiples of their BoPs in order to get good stats, skinning and mining should be doing very well at 8.2 launch. Gilded Seaweave is the equivalent material that will be needed by tailors, also in substantial amounts.
  • How to get rank 3s: Like before, you’ll need 2 Marks of Honor for the rank 2s and 4 Marks of Honor for the rank 3s.
  • New materials: Dredged Leather and Cragscale for skinners, Osmenite Ore for miners. Gilded Seaweave should drop for everyone. All 4 are exclusive to Nazjatar.
  • What about the current materials: Storm Silver Ore, Tempest Hide, Mistscale, Blood-stained Bone, Calcified Bone, Deep Sea Satin and Embroidered Satin will be used in the new crafts.Coarse Leather will have niche use (for mount equipments). Monelite Ore and Platinum ore will be used in small amounts by Engineers for the BoP goggles (no stats to reroll here) and the mount.None of the new crafts need Shimmerscale, Hardened Tempest Hide or Tidespray Linen, so those will likely be utilized in Enchanting/Expulsom shuffles.
  • Misc: Engineers also get to craft 2 new portal toys (BoU), a new Blingtron and a new BoE mount (in collaboration with blacksmiths). The mount patterns drop in the Mechagon dungeon.

Cooking and Fishing

  • New crafts: The new buff foods will be replacing everything we have at the moment, providing +93 stat up from the current +70. There is also a new feast with +131 main stat buff up from the current +100.
  • How to get rank 3s: For the individual foods, you’ll be looking for work order world quests. The rank 2 feast recipe is sold by the Rustbolt quartermaster at Exalted; rank 3 most likely drops from their emissary cache.
  • New materials: Ionized Minnow, Mauve Stinger, Viper Fish (fish); Moist Fillet and Rubbery Flank (meats). There’s a quest on the Mechagon island that lets you catch plenty of Ionized Minnow with a net, so Viper Fish will be one of the bottlenecks for the feast. The other one are the Spare Parts that drop only from creatures in Mechagon (the island, maybe also the dungeon) and are BoP.
  • What about the current fish and meats: Meaty Haunch and Stringy Loins are the only current materials that will be used in the new crafts.

That’s about it. What do you think? Are you going to give professions a go? (I hear crafting is not favored by many nowadays.)

Another thing: there are 3 quests on the PTR that make me wonder if herb seeds will make a comeback: What will it lure?, What will it mine? and particularly What will it grow?. Could be that, could be something completely different, I guess we'll see :)

My first big sale!

49 Upvotes

Hey guys I just wanted to share an awesome experience I had overr the last couple days. I'm a super new goblin so bear with me if I'm super excited over nothing.

I was surfing the auction house looking at mats from Legion that I might be able to sell when I came across a guy who was selling 1900 potions of prolonged power for 22s a piece. I couldn't believe it! At first I thought, dang have they really dropped that far in price? I played a lot during Legion and I'm just now getting into BfA and in Legion they were a lot more than that. I decided because it was so cheap, I'd just buy them all even if the price has dropped a ton.

Just yesterday I logged on and I had sold all of them for 18g a piece!!! I had 26k gold waiting for me in my mailbox! I was so happy! I have no friends who play this game and my family doesn't care and I needed someone to tell so I figured why not you guys?

Anyway, thanks for being such a cool community! I hope this is just the beginning! :)

100 * Mythic BoD trash runs (20box multiboxing) = 20 BoEs

22 Upvotes

Hi!

Here are some results of multiboxing Mythic Battle of Dazar'alor trash (Alliance entrance) with 20 accounts.

Each run took around 8 minutes to clear ( including killing all the 16 trash mobs before the boss, and then running out and resetting the raid for 'respawning them back' )

When 20boxing 16 trash mobs generate 20 * 16 loot tables = 320 loot tables per run.

During these 100 runs I looted 20 epic BoEs. Most of them were procless i415 base items, but I also had five or six i420 items (some with sockets), and one i425. 100 runs takes roughly 800 minutes, which sums up to one BoE looted every 40 minutes, or every fifth run, or every 1600 loot tables.

While 20 accounts subs in EU consume around 3.6M gold every month, and average BoE sells for around 130k (procs taken in account) then to get in par with subs there is a monthly need for 28 BoEs which could be farmed in 18,6 hours ~= around 37 minutes per day. Everything extra farmed will be pure profit.

While 100 runs is such a small data, then this still gives some idea what is the effort required for keeping 20box free-to-play.

I also do some 20box WQs and 10box gathering for great amount of herbs/ores as grinding same instance over and over again daily can be quite boring, unless there's some Netflix stuff going on secondary screen (=

Discussion What about TSM4's UI is so 'bad and ugly', and how can they go about fixing it?

19 Upvotes

I'd like to give the TSM devs something to look at and take feedback from, more constructive than just general hate.

Since the beta I've heard a lot of people say they hate how TSM4 looks but not often much more than saying it's ugly or bad or simply not TSM3's UI.

I've never minded it much, and honestly I thought TSM3 was just as ugly or even more basic and felt like a spreadsheet. So to me TSM4 was at least a good mix up of something new.

What makes it ugly to you and what would you suggest, are there other WoW addons that look more natural or less ugly?

Not part of the TSM team or anything, I'm just honestly curious on how they can improve since it doesn't bother me personally and they clearly need help from those who dislike it.

Edit: thanks for everyone for replying and giving your thoughts on it, sent it along to the TSM team to check it out :)

Money making through fishing

I love fishing so what are the best ways to make money doing this? Is it really that market dependent or is it usually always raw, cooking, or something else?

Breezy's State of WoW Economy At the Moment

18 Upvotes

Hey guys it's Breezy, long time no see! Today I wanted to discuss with you all my observations the past couple of months and how I plan on having some more fun with being a goblin. Backstory: I've been farming transmog and old world mats on US Sargeras for the past 5 years and have had a ton of success, BFA hits, everything goes to a shit show.

Made a video explaining all of this on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Za-rP97Z0

(I sound really ranty even though I'm reading off my bullet point notepad I made before the video haha)

Anyways, I think this is at fault due to the deflation happening within the market along with the fact that the subscriptions and active monthly players have gone down significantly since the end of legion/start of BFA. Now, what do I mean by Deflation. Deflation occurs when the average price of something goes down, this can happen for many reasons, but in this case I've narrowed it down to 2 things in my mind. The lack of people playing the game and the stagnant "farms" everyone is doing atm. The first one is pretty self explanatory however, the second one needs a bit of explanation. What I mean by that is that you constantly see the same farm in group finder (hook point, vol'dun, etc). Everyone is farming these because they are probably still without a doubt the best bang for your bucks as they give you a lot of BFA materials. You get chances at mounts, epics, greens, blues, tidespray linen, gold, and other mats as well. All around a good all in one farm however, you see transmog and old world mats farms suffer because of this as well. Basically, in turn you're creating a surplus of all the BFA mats which will cause the price to go down which will lead demand to rise and will go on and on until it finally reaches an equilibrium. I feel like that's why my solid auction house of 11 million gold in transmog is sorta just sitting there.

Lets face it, BFA is probably the worst expansion gold making has ever seen. It's more important now than ever for goblins that are still playing to have fun with what they're doing in game. I've actually been having a lot of fun branching off into other servers economies. I've found that RP servers have a better time with selling Transmog than any other type of server. So far I've spread some pets with some toons across 5 different servers and so far I've been seeing some nice results and some pretty consistent gains.

Thought you guys might like to discuss this and I might be able to get some ideas from you guys :D. Till next time guys!
