Once you have added your item, the edit item window appears.

Simply search for the item in question and get the number in the URL, i.e. The item id can be obtained by visiting a WoW database website. This addon needs specific information about the items it scans to function correctly, so it will need to get this information by checking the auction house for it, your inventory, your trade skills, or by silently asking the server to bring up tooltip information about an item id. Enter the name of an item you wish the addon to track, or the item id of an item. You will notice two new tabs: History, and Scan.įirst, you need to specify which items you wish to "watch." Click the History tab, then click Add. Once you have installed Market Watcher, visit an auction house NPC and bring up the auction house window. The price history graphs use the lowest, average, and highest price per unit. If there are crystals for sale below that value, then the lists generated by the addon will order the auctions by price per unit regardless of stack size. For example, you might have the addon set to scan for abyss crystals, but not display the result in the scan summary unless the price is below a set value. Lists are sorted by and comparisons are made by this price. The number Market Watcher cares about the most is price per unit - particularly buyout price per unit. The saving of multiple scans allows for a more accurate determination of value, and allows the addon to deduce if some auctions were actually sold, so you can see which auctions are actually selling as opposed to basing a value off the prices of auctions that may not be selling at all. This obviously uses a great deal of memory, so only scans of items specified by the user will be recorded. What makes Market Watcher unique from other auction house addons is that it records multiple scans instead of just the most recent. When the addon is set to record, a price history can be displayed to assist in determining a value for items of interest. Market Watcher is an addon that scans the auction house and records data for specified items and assists in daily auction house shopping in general.
