How to Setup Tradeskillmaster for Efficient Auctioning

TradeSkillMaster (TSM) is a popular addon for World of Warcraft that helps players automate their auctioning process, making it easier to manage their in-game economy. One of the key features of TSM is its ability to set up custom auctioning operations, which allow you to define specific parameters for posting items to the Auction House. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of setting up a Tradeskillmaster operation.

Defining the Operation

The first step in setting up an auctioning operation in TSM is to define the number of items you want to post with this operation. This can be done by entering a value in the 'Number of items' field. Note that entering 0 will disable the operation, while entering 1 or more will enable it.

Posting Options

Once you've defined the number of items to post, you'll need to configure the posting options for your auctioning operation. This can be done by clicking on the 'Posting sub-tab' of the Auctioning Operation, which is shown by default. Here, you'll find a range of parameters that you can adjust to customize your posting strategy.

One of the most important settings in the Posting Options section is the minimum and maximum price for your auctioned items. It's common for new users to approach TSM in the same way as the default Auction House or other Auction House addons, simply trying to undercut the cheapest auction on the market. However, this can lead to problems if you're not careful.

TSM does offer an undercutting feature, but it needs to be told when the 'cheapest auction' is too low (i.e., the minimum price) or too high (i.e., the maximum price). If there's an auction posted between these two prices, TSM will automatically undercut it for you. By setting a minimum and maximum price range, you can define the parameters within which TSM should consider undercutting competition on the Auction House.

Benefits of Using Tradeskillmaster

One of the major benefits of using TSM is that it removes the need to manually make decisions about when and how to post items to the Auction House. With an auctioning operation set up, you can simply let TSM handle all the details for you.

In addition, TSM offers a range of other features that can help you maximize your profits and streamline your auctioning process. These include support for multiple auctions at once, automatic price adjustments, and real-time tracking of your auctioned items.

Setting up an auctioning operation in TradeSkillMaster is a straightforward process that can help you automate your auctioning strategy and make more money in World of Warcraft. By defining the number of items to post, configuring the posting options, and setting minimum and maximum prices, you can customize your auctioning operation to suit your needs. With TSM, you can focus on other aspects of the game while letting the addon handle all the details for you.
