Current version: 0.39.1 beta

==============================

What is Emporium?

Emporium is an Auction House addon focused on making the AH easier to use, easier to understand and less painful than getting lost in endless filters and badly sorted lists.

The main idea is simple:

Instead of only showing more auction data, Emporium tries to help players make better Auction House decisions.

It is designed around what players actually want to do:

• Find useful gear upgrades
• Compare auction gear with currently equipped gear
• Restock consumables
• Find useful talismans
• Check market prices
• Spot good deals
• Sell items with better price context

This is a beta release. It is already usable and functional, but still being improved. I would really appreciate feedback, bug reports and edge cases from different careers, ranks and playstyles.

==============================

Main features

Cleaner Auction House interface
A custom AH window with dedicated sections for Search, Shop, Consumables, Talismans and Sell, in a consistent flat visual style with five selectable themes.

Settings panel
A full settings window - every option is functional. Open it with the Settings button or

Code: Select all

/emp settings

.

Search and browsing
Clearer result rows, sorting, buyout values and price per unit. Item name search is now multi-word and order-independent: "wind ring", "ring wind" and "outlaw ring" all find "Outlaw's Wind Ring".

Market price context and verdicts
Emporium tracks market prices locally from your own searches, then labels listings Great Deal, Fair, Overpriced, Suspicious Low or Thin Market.

Gear Assistant + upgrade scoring
Click a gear slot to search for upgrades, or "All slots" for a full cross-slot sweep that compares every item against what you have equipped in that slot and shows only real upgrades. Upgrades are ranked by how much each stat matters to your career role (a healer sees Willpower/Wounds gear first, not Strength), across all rarities including blue, purple and set items. Optional "Hide gear downgrades" in Settings.

Consumable and talisman recommendations
Role and career-aware consumable suggestions (sorted strongest-usable-first) and talisman ranking by role, stat, value and usability. Preset buttons show the gem icon of their stat.

Saved searches
Save your current filters and recall them from the Saved sidebar in the Search tab. Click one to run it instantly - the sidebar stays open so you can click through your markets like a playlist.

Sell helper
Drag an item from your bags onto the item slot (or click it), see the 5 cheapest competing listings with your own flagged (you) and suspicious undercuts flagged (low?), and get suggested pricing. A manual price box overrides the suggestion. The deposit shown follows your city's rank, exactly like the native AH.

Pricing strategies + rules manager
Undercut, match, median-anchored, fixed per-unit, fixed total, or vendor multiplier. Tick "Remember" to save a rule per item; review and delete all your rules from the Saved sell rules panel.

Batch posting, restock and repost
Split a stack into several listings and post them in one go (drawing from every stack of the item in your bags). Restock posts every bag item that has a saved rule. Cancel a listing and it is marked for repost - collect it from the mailbox and Restock relists it competitively.

My listings + activity log
View your active auctions with a live X/50 counter and a running total of what they are worth if they all sell. The Activity log (Sell tab) keeps a journal of your listings, cancels, restocks and buys.

==============================

What's new in 0.39.1

• Gear: "All slots" now compares every item against what you have equipped in its slot and shows only real upgrades, ranked for your role, across all rarities (blue / purple / set items included). Per-slot searches too - no more green-only results.
• Upgrade scoring is role-weighted (healers see Willpower/Wounds first, tanks Toughness/Wounds, etc.), with an optional "Hide gear downgrades" setting.
• Multi-word, any-order item name search.
• Saved sell rules manager, activity log, and a repost workflow (cancel marks an item, Restock relists it).
• Fixed total pricing strategy.
• Deposit now follows your city rank exactly (thanks wardfan220), batch posting draws from every stack, and My listings shows a total-if-sold.
• Saved searches moved into the Search tab as a sidebar; five selectable themes; consistent flat buttons throughout.
• New helper commands: /emp help, /emp log, /emp bug.

Big thanks to guessgap, wardfan220, TheRealRunkleDunkle, valadorn5, Harrwin and Ezo for reports, ideas and patches.

==============================

Known limitations

• Market data is local and builds over time from your own AH searches.
• Gear comparison focuses on stat bonuses and may not evaluate every special effect perfectly.
• Talisman ranking is still being refined.
• Some item categories, slots or career-specific cases may need adjustment.
• Advanced selling tools are functional but still need wider testing.
• The game client only writes addon saved data (searches, rules, market data, settings) to disk on a clean logout or

  Code: Select all

  /reload

  . A crash loses recent changes - do a quick

  Code: Select all

  /reload

Thanks to anyone willing to test it.

The goal is to make the Auction House easier to use, easier to understand and more helpful for actual player decisions, instead of just adding more filters to an already messy system.

[guessgap]

thank you for this contribution, sounds great. i will try it out later!

[guessgap]

played around with it a bit and my first impression is really positive.
im honestly surprised theres not more people commenting here or downloading and trying it, especially bc i feel the normal auction house and addon alternatives are lacking a bit.

great that the addon is class-sensitive and gives me template options that suit my class.
also very nice to see the market averages/typicals (if i may ask: how are they measured?).

heres a few things id like to add from my testing:
-i cant see my fourth jewelry slot in the shop tab (also cant see a way to scroll down)
-i only get gear alternatives in the shop tab for some gear slots, eg only jewelry slot 1 offers me gear alternatives. i thought its maybe bc of the jewelry, so i switched my jewelry slot 1 and 2, but again: only got a gear alternative offered for jewelry slot 1
-i tested we class and dok class: both didnt show an armor talisman option. im no gearing expert, but i feel like dok class can make good use of an armor talisman
-in the sell section id like to see an option to quickly look at all sellers offers not just the cheapest one

tldr:
great work so far with clean interface and easy to navigate. makes using auction house more comfortable (for me) and gives me some valuable extra information.
good luck and i hope this will get a full release after the mandatory early access phase

This addon is wild. A+++. Makes my life so much easier for the AH and is so much better than shinies at the moment.

Thank you!!!!

dude this is great

Thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciate it.

About the market prices: Emporium builds its market data locally from the AH searches you do. So it does not start with a global database, but it learns over time as you browse/search the Auction House. It stores price-per-unit samples and uses them to show things like typical price, cheapest seen price and general market context.

The points about the Shop / Gear Assistant are very useful. I will do a tighter polish pass there, especially around jewelry slots, slot detection and the way gear alternatives are searched. The Gear Assistant is one of the main features of Emporium, so I want that section to feel reliable and clear.

Good point as well about talismans and career/build differences. Some recommendations may need more tuning, especially for edge cases or builds that do not fit perfectly into a simple role category.

For the Sell section, showing more competing offers instead of only focusing on the cheapest one makes sense. That would give a better view of the market before listing an item, so I will add that to the improvement list.

Thanks again for testing it and for the detailed notes. Please keep posting bugs, strange item behavior, wrong suggestions or Lua errors if you find them. This kind of feedback is exactly what helps improve the beta.

My only issue so far is you cannot see what the posted sales are when you put an item up for sale. It shows the current lowest price on the market, but that doesn't tell you if the current lowest price is some vastly undercut price and the rest of them are selling for the right price. Needs to be able to see the last few for sale instead of the current lowest price like Shinies does.

Not sure if I like the list of items instead of dragging and dropping.

Edit: I see you already mentioned adding more than just the last price, sorry

I'll be giving it a good workout. I can already see some good value here and I feel pretty optimistic.

I've used it to price a few dozen items. It needs a manual option for prices since some of the market items are overpriced and pulled the average price above the real value of the items.

Also your program seems to know that I'm actually targeting flippers with my sales by marking them all as "suspicious" thats pretty funny

Love the feedback brother, I'll put it on the list. Laughed hard at the "suspicious" haha, I was thinking about protecting new players mostly, not that much to flipping.

Performance wise is it better than Shinies?
