Best Add-ons for Playing the AH




Just wanted to write up this short post real quick about the addons I use for my auctions and gold related things. First of all, if for some reason you don't know how to get an addon, I suggest heading over to http://www.curse.com/client/ to get a hold of the free Curse Client. This software will allow you to get all the addons you will ever need whenever you need em'. So now for my list of the stuff I use to make my cash:

-Auctioneer: For the most part, this will be very overwhelming to most players when they open it up. Basically this will deck out your default action house interface. The only thing I suggest using at first is the scan option. You're going to want to scan the AH every 7 hours or so, if not just try to do it once per day. The easy way to do this is just to type "/auc getall" in your chat box.

NOTE:(Some use Auctionator, but I cannot comment on that because I have never used it)

-Altoholic: This addon is pretty much the most amazing thing in the world, it allows you to see virtually everything your alts have in the bank, guild bank, inventory, talents, gear, everything!

-Auditor: This fancy lightweight addon informs you about all your incoming and outgoing gold flow. For example, after you open up all your fresh mail in the morning and wonder how much you just earned yourself, Auditor will calculate it all and display the total amount in your chat box.

-Automation: Automatically sells all gray quality items when you speak to a vendor.

-Postal: Opens all your mail at the click of a button.

-Cashstash: Displays your total gold across your entire account in your character panel.

-Mr.Plow: Re-stacks all your items automatically.

-Tinytipwealth: Not really anything super important, but is a pretty cool little addon. Pretty much when you mouse over another player, it will display the highest amount of gold that player has had on them at one time, all in your tooltip.


If any of you have any questions or concerns for me, either leave them in a comment or email me at Veldoran@hotmail.com

you did miss out on quick auctions, it's a lightweight addon that is easily configurable when you just understand how it works, i use it all the time and it can put out all your gems in 1 click, just configure it and push "post" and it sorts out your gems with 1copper undercut and split up the stacks so you just put out 1 and 1, so here is how you do it:

1: check the price of Saronite Ore, on my server it goes for around 15-20g.
2: if it's below a certain point, like 18g, buy everything under that price
3: make this macro:
/cast Prospect
/use Saronite Ore
4: always check the prices of the gems, try out with 5 stacks of saronite ore first to check if you get some profit out of it, if you do, continue.
5: do not overstack on the ah, put out 20-30 of each gem at the time if you got it, if you got less, put out everything.

with this, i make around 500g and counting each day if i want to :)

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will look into QA3 today, I have messed with it a little but never fully configured it. Sometime soon I will have a post dedicated to QA3 once I know more about it.

Thanks
