There’s nothing wrong with using avgbuy, but I prefer DBmarket for several reasons. You also have issues that it can be unstable, particularly with smart average if you spend a lot of materials.
It can get out of sync with the market though when the price of a material changes significantly. This will be closer to your actual cost, so it will be safer as far as making sure you always profit. You can use this either with a smart average (which is the price of the X last purchased auctions where X is the number of materials you have) or the normal one that uses all the materials you have ever bought. The main alternative to dbmarket based material pricing is avgbuy, your average purchase price. In real life of course the purchase of the materials can be as far as a week or more in advance of when you sell it though, so the prices could change so you don’t actually make a profit. You can usually just go buy materials at dbmarket or below and if you post items for 120% crafting with this material value you will get 20% profit margin if you buy materials right now and you can sell the item right away. This is of course quite simple to use, and the obvious advantage is that the price always follows the market. The default material cost source will be dbmarket for most tradeable materials and vendorbuy for anything that is sold by a vendor. Your actual cost The default: Market value There are two main approaches to this that I’ll cover today: For this to work we need to value the materials correctly. I want at least 20% profit margin so I sell items for 120% crafting at a minimum.
It is essentially just the sum of the material values for the items required to craft an item. This source is incredibly useful, and I rely on it for all my crafted items. TSM has a price source called crafting that represents the crafting cost of an item. ( European players will note that TUJ EU site is found here.Today we will be somewhere between practical TSM tips and the theory of goldmaking, as I look at how you should value your materials in TSM. Additionally, TUJ distributes an add-on that will allow you to view historic data for an item in game while browsing the AH.Īs you can see from this screenshot, The Undermine Journal is far more detailed, as well as providing a more specific and accurate picture - for instance, the item in question (Flask of the Winds again), is roughly 30% more expensive at the Ysera-Alliance auction house than Wowheads average across realms indicated.
If you want a more detailed picture, you need to go to the source from which WoWhead derives it's average The Undermine Journal by contrast, provides a much more comprehensive picture, giving you price history and current pricing data for any item, specific to your realm and faction, as well as the cost of component materials for crafted items, should you wish to just produce them yourself or ask a friend to. Also, for items that are less frequently traded, there may be little to no data. However, this information is sub-par in that not every servers economy is the same, and in fact substantial price swings occur across realms. Wowhead displays the items vendor value, as well as the average auction buyout price across all servers. If you just want to quickly check snapshot of prices without regard for the economy of your particular server, just check Wowhead.
