As shown below the price of pigments is below dbmarket, but the herbs are an even cheaper source of the pigments. You can run a crafting search for viridescent pigments and it will compare the price of herbs to the milled pigment price to show you the cheapest alternative.įor these searches the maximum price will be dbmarket for the item you are searching for.

The most prominent use case is for milling. If you use a crafting search TSM will look for the item you search for as well as the materials required to find the cheapest way to purchase it. Crafting searches are only defined for some items. Crafting searchesĬrafting searches are an alternative to normal searches. You can change the maximum price for your shopping searches on the settings pane under shopping if you want to, but for most markets dbmarket is likely the optimal choice. Obviously you want to buy items below dbmarket whenever possible.

100% in the max price column represents 100% dbmarket.

The default for the normal searches is a max price of dbmarket. It shows you how the price compares to your defined maximum price. The maximum price percentage column is the most important one. It shows the item level, number of auctions, number of items per stack, the bid price, the buyout price and the max price column at the right. The results UI is for the most part quite self explanatory. Below I have searched for Living Steel and we see all the items with this in the name. You can type in an item name in the search bar and TSM will search the AH for any item with the string in it’s name. This is by far the simplest way to shop for items. The search field here will function very much like the normal AH search. This can be names of items or more sophisticated search strings. Then on the right you can use search strings. This functions exactly like auctioning scans. The left hand pane has all your groups that have an assigned shopping operation. It looks quite similar to the auctioning UI and there are a lot of similarities in functionality as well. When you open the auction House UI and navigate to shopping you will see the UI in the screenshot below.

The shopping UIįirst We will take a look at the shopping UI. Today I will go into the other side of the AH, which means the shopping side of TSM. In the last installment we looked at how you should use the auctioning capabilities in TSM to easily and quickly post your items to the auction house.
