We had a great first experience installing and exploring the TradeSkillMaster 3.0 Beta. Below are the two parts of the 2:45 stream. Much fun and goofiness was had as well as much new information uncovered about the upcoming TSM 3.0 release.

In this video I go over how to use the (Beta) TradeSkillMaster Web APIs (Stormspire post explaining the feature) to download a .csv of my realm auction house pricing data and build a Google Drive Sheets spreadsheet that allows me to access and manipulate that data to do things like:

• Quickly show prices for multiple items on the AH in one look.
• Quickly show prices for any list of item names or item IDs.
• Be able to do things like calculate material costs for items.
• See which crafted items are selling for the most and the cost per mat etc.

YouTube: "Bankless" Glyph Selling Guide - Three Chars, Zero Banks!

My search for a glyph selling system that works for me continues. After 1.5 hours in glyph posting purgatory I decided there had to be a better way.

What I wanted to eliminate: running back and forth to bank dozens of times managing expired glyphs.

This video goes over my solution: Three glyph sellers each with four 36-slot Royal Scribe Satchels (which I farmed all the leather for and many many Molten Front fire spiders died to help make). Read on for more details on the "bankless" glyph system.

After tweeting that I was looking at the new TradeSkillMaster Application beta I was asked by a reader to post up some screenshots. Today I'll be giving you a brief overview of the current beta release of the new TradeSkillMaster Application.

The new application has some really neat tricks up its sleeve as well as a whole new backend that is quite exciting. This is a large departure from the previous application and puts it much more on par with services like The Undermine Journal and WoWuction. Read on for more.

YouTube: Using TSM To Make & Sell Glyphs Pt.1 - How To by Jim Younkin


After reading Faid's How to Compete in Glyphs post over at ClockworkRiot I got fired up to jump back into the glyph market. I decided I wanted to record the experience of setting up my entire glyph creation and selling set up for posterity.

I was lucky enough to have Faid join me to help me for each step along the way. If you've ever wanted a complete soup-to-nuts explanation on how to properly set up a large glyph operation these two video (clocking in at a combined 3 hours) are about as good as it gets.

Again my gratitude to Faid for sharing her considerable glyph selling knowledge and her patience with helping me get it set up. Part 1 is above. Head past the jump for Part 2.

You asked (and asked and asked) for TradeSkillMaster-importable lists for 77-80 Cataclysm armor and we are happy to finally deliver.

Read on past the jump for the full lists as well as information on how they were created.

We've created a tool for creating importable TradeSkillMaster (TSM) groups from almost any webpage that includes links to World of Warcraft items. The tool has been fully updated to work with TradeSkillMaster 2.0's new group import format. It's called Grouper.

Grouper is based off of SLAGIT which was created by our longtime livestream viewer Rootfix and has been hosted at Power Word: Gold for a good while. Grouper can always be found by using the "Grouper" link at the top of Power Word: Gold. Read on for our guide on how to use Grouper to speed up your importable TSM group creation.

TradeSkillMaster Custom Pricing Sources can be a bit complicated so today I thought I would share a few of my favorites as well as explain them thoroughly.

Head past the jump for explanations of some of our most-used pricing sources.

Image Source: Warcraft Looks

This is a list containing all the items that were posted in Shannon's Transmog Shopping List's For TSM post. Thanks to Shannon, Faid and Keelhaul for helping create the original lists.

I added all the groups from Shannon's into one giant group as well as removing some characters that were no longer valid to import into TRadeSkillMaster 2.0 ("s1@" and "$@" aren't needed).

Importable list past the jump.

About a month ago it occurred to me that if I had a list of every desirable 83-84 Mists of Pandaria armor and suffix in the game and was able to import that list into TradeSkillMaster that I would be able to greatly simplify not only the selling of items in my 83-84 market items but also make buying them easier.

My goal was to build such a set of master lists I could import into TradeSkillMaster groups. Once I had created a groups using this lists I could then build TSM shopping operations to search for the items and TSM Auctioning Operations to sell these items. All this with out ever having to spend time adding newly purchased items one by one into TSM groups by hand.

Read on past the jump for more info on how I create the lists and, more importantly, the lists themselves for you import into TradeSkillMaster and use yourself.

YouTube: TradeSkillMaster (TSM) 2.0 Survival Guide & Theory - How To Setup And Use

Starting to use TradeSkillMaster 2.0 can feel like someone came into your garage, stole all your tools and replaced them with a sealed cardboard box full of new ones.

The new tools seem strange. Off. They don't quite fit on your pegboard the same way the old ones did. Some of them are similar enough to make sense right away. Others you honestly have no idea what they do.

In this "Survival Guide" video I walk through the basic theory behind TradeSkillMaster 2.0 and the way works compared to TradeSkillMaster 1.0. I also show where to locate some of the most commonly used features of TSM 2.0.

TradeSkillMaster version 2.0 was released today. You can download versions 2.0+ via the Curse Client or by heading to Curse, searching for TradeSkillMaster (search link) and downloading the (12) TradeSkillMaster addons that are listed with Project Manager "sapu94".

If you're just getting started with TSM 2.0 be sure to check out our TradeSkillMaster 2.0 Basic How To Videos and TradeSkillMaster 2.0 - Groups & Sub-Groups Explained. Head past the jump for more info.

I think is is important to give a visual metaphor for how groups and sub-groups work in TradeSkillMaster (TSM) 2.0 because it can seem confusing.

The video after the jump goes into great detail to explain the metaphor and help you understand what is happening when adding and removing items from groups and sub-groups. Read on for more theory and the video.
