ItemPriceTooltip is an addon that adds vendor sell values to tooltips for items. It uses the library ItemPrice-1.1 that knows the sell values for a large number of items in the game. Furthermore, ItemPriceTooltip can also record vendor sell values for items in your bag when you visit a vendor if an item with an unknown price is found.

Vendor sell values are mined from Blizzard's Armory and should therefor be fairly complete and accurate. All items that have been discovered at least once are listed on the Armory according to Blizzard. Thus, updates will mainly be required after a patch.

To bring up the configuration dialog, type either /itempricetooltip or /ipt in the chat.

Love this mod. Is this still being updated and/or worked on? Does this mod need to be updated, outside of the TOC file, or can one merely update the ItemPrice-1.1 library and that's it?

Yeah I just wanted to say this is a fantastic Addon...While being by far the smallest addon I have I can't do without it. I am not much of an money maker so I rely on the stuff I get from completing quests to fill my purse with money. In which case this mod helps me see the item most expensive to vendor them...Cause lets face it blizzard hasn't come up with items yet that I can actually use by the time I complete the quests. But thats another story lol. Anyway thx again

Aww, and not even an option to turn this off in the Blizzard panel. I hate this new feature.
BamED
657 days ago
@Spiderkeg: Yes, I think that's a Blizzard feature. It shows bid and buyout prices per unit. So it's not related to the vendor price at all. I don't think ItemPriceTooltip should touch these. :)

I really like this mod. However, I've recently noticed that the following are appearing on item in the Auction House. I disabled all my mods and this feature persists. I'm thinking this is a new feature introduced by Blizzard in a patch, yet I just now noticed this feature. I prefer your mod, and was wondering if there are any plans to disable the Blizzard feature? <Price per unit <Buyout price per unit

hi BamED. I am a long time user of itempricetooltip and I have a recent problem with the latest WoW patch (3/25/08) I redownloaded the lastest version of itempricetooltip, and after I installed it and logged on, I couldn't find the minimap icon anywhere. I assume there is a /command to bring it back up but i have looked everywhere and couldn't find any help on this. Is there anything Im possibly doing wrong to not see the minimap icon anymore? The addon DOES work alright, its just that I cant customize it to look nice at all, and therefore its really not of all that much use to me. Thanks alot for your help and thanks even more for this great addon
Lombra

Thanks, I hope it doesn't weigh too heavy on your mind. ;) Ah ok. Well, as long as it isn't slash command based, hehe. (not that this is an addon you're likely to change settings on very often, though)
BamED

The "old-school" Blizzard format is back as an options and you can also choose a text-only format. I did look at the new Interface Options by Blizzard. While the idea is good in general, the implementation is not - which is very typical for Blizzard. :( So I chose to use the Ace3 options instead. I think there is a way to have Ace3 options embedded into Blizzard's options. It's something I need to look at a bit more first though.
Lombra
684 days ago
I liked how the Blizzard mode made it look exactly as if you were standing at a vendor. Of course I can understand the desire to simplify your addon, but I'm gonna miss this! ;( Btw, did you ever consider using the new addons tab in interface options? I must say that's a good call by Blizzard, gathering addon options there.
BamED
684 days ago
@Lombra: That is intended yes. I wanted to simplify the options overall and figured that since it can now display coins, there was no need for the "Blizzard" format. But I sense you aren't happy with that? :)
Lombra

Hm, downloaded the new version, but can't see the option for Blizzard mode anywhere! Was that overlooked or an intended change?

Price updates for patch 2.3.3 will unfortunately have to wait a bit since my usual computer is sent in for repair *cry*. It may take a week or two. Though I hope it will be sooner. :) Edit: Don't have my computer back yet *sob*. But I got my scripts running on Linux so I could do an update. :)
BamED

@Gorramit: No, not really. The library does not know the names of the items - only the item-ids. It would substantially increase the size of the library if it were to store names too. There would also be localization issues with that. If you know the item-id, you can get the price. For example this command will print the price of "Amani Divining Staff": http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33494 /print GetSellValue(33494) The price will be printed in amount of copper. It's not really a part of the addon as such. @Lombra: If there was a way to guarantee that vendor-scanned prices were accurate always, I'd definitely agree with you. But because there isn't, I will actually recommend disabling vendor-scanning. (I'd do that myself but I kinda have to turn it on so I can test it... lol.)
Lombra
762 days ago
No worries =) Well, it is mainly (obviously) after patches that introduces new items, which for that matter isn't all too often, but it feels good to be able to store prices by yourself for those few days before a price update, that's all.
Gorramit

Is it possible to search the database like you can with Pricemaster? (To look up items you don't actually have)
BamED
762 days ago
@Lombra: Sorry for not getting back to you. I've been a bit away from this site lately. To answer your second question first. When the library is updated, scanned prices are only removed if they are the same as the library price - simply to save space. At the time I made that code, I was updating quite often since I was using wowhead as price source. I figured that scanned prices were likely to be more correct than library prices. I don't think that is the case anymore though, since I now use Blizzard's Armory. So that code ought to be changed, I guess. Tbh, I am still wondering if it is worth the effort scanning prices at all. It seems to me that it will never be perfect because the game does not always report the true, unmodified price while at a vendor. I think an accurate item database is much better overall. Can I ask how often prices are not found in the library? I'm not very actively playing with all the new stuff in the game. So I don't know for sure. But I did do a scan of the Armory lately and discovered no new prices. That's also why there have not been any updates lately. :) Btw, it is my plan to rewrite the addon using the Ace3 framework which is currently being developed. So I will probably not do any major changes right now. Though it does depend on when Ace3 will be ready for general use. I will continue to regularly check for new items at the Armory in any case.
Lombra

May I suggest an option to store new prices only when there is not already a stored price (ie never update prices but only add new). And if you update your ItemPrice library (which includes a price you've stored yourself) later, the stored price will be removed. (maybe this is already the case?)

Options to hide "No sell value" and "Unknown sell value" are now implemented. There are new items in the patch that the addon does not know about yet. I will do a scan of the armory in a few days, I think.
BamED
819 days ago
@Lombra: Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure if they will help though. What I really need is a 100% accurate formula for calculating the true price after it has been reduced due to repair cost (and other reductions such as "used charges"). So I think I will stick with the current behavior of simply not recording price of damaged items.
Lombra
819 days ago
Perhaps you're aware of this but there's some new APIs for durability stuff that might come in handy for when to save item prices (in the rare cases it's needed) durability, maximum = GetInventoryItemDurability(slotid) durability, maximum = GetContainerItemDurability(bagid, slotid)
BamED

@robwood: AFAIK vendor buy price is always 4 x vendor sell price. So it seems a little superfluous showing that. This is the "base" buy price of course. It can be reduced with various faction discounts depending on the vendor. There is already a simple coin-display. Choose the "Blizzard" display style. I know it's not as nifty as ItemSync's coin-display but this is the only coin-display directly supported by Blizzard. ItemSync has implemented it's own coin-display. I recall the author spending quite some time getting this working right. So I'm not too keen on doing that. But I won't rule it out completely. ItemPriceTooltip and ItemSync don't do quite the same. ItemSync is a "LootLink"-addon that gathers item information while you play and saves this for future reference. ItemPriceTooltip is mainly a fixed database of vendor sell prices. It does record prices when you visit vendors if new or updated ones are found. But I have actually considered removing this feature completely as it will never be fully accurate and seems to cause more harm than good.

@Lombra: There is no option. I hope the library is complete enough so that you don't get this very often. Is it new items in the latest patch that gives this? I'm going to scan prices soon from the Armory since there are probably some items that have been discovered recently. Edit: I did a quick scan and found a number of new items. Most seemed to be related to the Brewfest. Hopefully you will get rid of most of the "Unknown sell price" now. :)

Aha, too bad. ;( I guess I'll go with disabling price recording then. (didn't even think of that)
BamED
862 days ago
@Lombra: Yes, sadly I don't think there is any way to solve it. The game simply does not give enough information. The only way really would be to have a list of all items with charges. I'm not sure the increase in memory would justify doing that. The only work-around really is to disable vendor scanning completely. Hopefully the database is complete enough that you don't really need it.
Lombra
862 days ago
Item with charges seems to be recorded with a reduced price when only one charge remains. I suppose it's got something to do with the tooltip not mentioning that there are any charges at all at that point. (ie, it doesn't say "1 charge") Any way around that?
BamED

@Osamar: Yes, the addon now uses ItemPrice-1.1. It is embedded with the addon just like the old library. But if you have chosen to dis-embed libraries, it is now ItemPrice-1.1 you need.

I don't think AH prices belong in this addon. The core of the addon really is the price data. Thus, a new set of data like AH prices really belongs in another addon. And there are already a few of those out there. I don't think I can do it much better. :)
