This thread is now outdated, as the new versions of BottomScanner included with Auctioneer Classic and AucAdvanced no longer use BaseRules, they use Evaluators. Some of the code contained in this thread may be useful in creating Evaluators, so I will leave it stickied here for the time being.

I'm starting a new thread, the old one has gotten very long and unwieldy to use. You can still access it here.

I've posted Chardonnay's BaseRule here from the previous thread so he can continue to edit and modify it for the rest of us.

From Chardonnay:

Here's my disenchant baserule, not my latest version but you may find some useful stuff in here.

Edit: added data from Onyx and Bishop for ilevel 100+ items. Thanks folks!
Edit 2007-04-26: pasted in my current version. Includes some extra stuff for picking up twink items with prices from WoWHead (1500g so far :). Few extra comments, take it or leave it. :P

HAH! I just read the last version of Chardonnay's rule (above) and he's done exactly what I was suggesting (only using math.min). So, uh, disregard my idea.

For the first question, you could also remove the lines that set an action (action = "bid", action = "buy" etc.) and let Btm figure things out for itself from the adjusted basePrice.

For the second, you could manually query the snapshot database to get a filtered list of auctions that are not yours, and calculate a median based on that and historical data. The historical data will include your prices, nothing much you can do about that, and snapshot queries take a while, so this is something you would want to do once at the start of the scan and save off somewhere, not for every item in the scan. If you want to get fancy, I think you could also hook Auctioneer events so that the queries are only performed following snapshot changes...

BTW Bishop, thanks for your version of Chards baserule, I also like to use BTM as a general AH trading tool and your version allows for that as well as taking care of the annoying resale popups for greens which are always completely inaccurate.

Also I realize now that I made a mistake with the item level, which stems from the difference between the 'use level' and actual itemlevel although that doesn't change the principle of what I asked.

Talk about a quick response, thanks. I actually got as far as working out the way to do this last night, but was still looking for the specific item levels, guess I could've just looked on this site

I'll put this in straight away and look into point two and if I can't find anything either add a ticket as I do think it would be a worthwhile feature, not only for disenchants but generally for AH trading.

Thanks!

[edit] works like a charm, ty![/edit]

Legendary items cannot be disenchanted. :D

Oh, now that I'm asking questions anyway, could you elaborate on the idea behind the bidLess feature you've implemented? I believe I understand what it does, but I think I fail to see why it does it.

Also, for completeness sake, and so I do not have to wrap my head around the math, would setting bidLess = 1 or bidLess = 0 disable the feature?

Ok I've been digging in to this a little bit more now, seeing as I use auctioneer so much. One problem I still had after using Bishops baserule to get rid of the green resale popups was blue resale popups. Lots of ppl just put stuff on AH at rediculous prices so medians for blue items are usually hugely inflated. So I decided I could put a weighing factor on that which would adjust the basePrice auctioneer uses for these specific items limiting the number of popups to items that are at least pretty likely to be profitable. Maybe not the most subtle or complete solution but barring a good conservative value it's something. Obviously you could do this with a /btm setting but then it would affect prices globally, which I don't want. So I modified Bishops rule like so:

-- prevent equipable greens from showing up for resale and revaluate blue equipables with custom factor

local blueAdjust = 0.5 -- change this to change valuation e.g. 0.5 = 50% lower basePrice than auctioneer would use

local _,_, quality, _, _, class, _,_,_ = GetItemInfo(itemID)

if (quality==2 and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor"))
then
basePrice = 0
elseif (quality==3 and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor"))
then
basePrice = basePrice * blueAdjust
end


And this works exactly as intended (yay me ), auctioneers shows it as "Valuation (custom)" BUT.. it also changes the valuation on the watchlist items. It doesn't really matter since the baserule will still prompt to buy them (made another quick 30G on a watchlist item today, thx Chardonnay) but it does look silly when it says 'buyout item xx at 25G?' 'valuated at 15g'. So I tried two things, one was to simply put the whole expression into the watchlist bit, i.e. if watchlist[itemID] then etc,.. else see code above, but that didn't work, I think because there is already an if.. else in there.

So then I tried this:


local blueAdjust = 0.5
local _,_, quality, _, _, class, _,_,_ = GetItemInfo(itemID)

if (quality==2 and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor"))
then
basePrice = 0
elseif (not watchList[itemID] and (quality==3 and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor")))
then
basePrice = basePrice * blueAdjust
end



which I thought was pretty clever but it doesn't work.. it compiles fine but if I change the blueAdjust it also changes the valuation of watchlistitems. Just now while typing I thought that maybe it was a mistake in the order of the expression so I changed it into


elseif (not watchList[itemID]) and (quality==3 and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor"))


but that equally does not work.

Where am I going wrong in my thinking here? Again it's been a loooong time since I've programmed anything more than my vcr so it's all coming back a bit slowly atm.

Lol that's pretty awesome! How much did you sell it for? The one I grabbed and resold within a few hours yesterday was the Kaleidoscope Chain which funnily enough Auctioneer had never seen at auction at my server before, so I never would've bought it otherwise.

I'll try your suggestion, I'm also a little stumped why it won't work since you basically use the same code for badItem[itemID] when determining whether or not something is disenchantable:

if quality >= UNCOMMON and quality <= EPIC and not badItem[itemID] and level <= 99 then

Another thing I've noticed is that the valuation for all disenchant items is screwy now. It shows the value as the bidamount, i.e. 'Buyout item xxx for 2g30s, valued at 2g30s ( 0 s profit)' even though that is obviously wrong. First I thought I had screwed up your code somehow so I recopied the whole thing, changing only the level check and adding the new bit below it, but that didn't fix it. I think this may be a related problem so it might also be solvable by moving this whole bit up higher. Since I don't know exactly how BTM creates the value outputs to the screen I can't figure out just yet why it's doing this.

I'll mess around with it when the servers come back up and let you know.

It's been a long time since I posted my derived version, so here's my latest for your perusal:

http://baserules.pastey.net/25141

I implemented your blueAdjust idea last night just for giggles (as I've currently set it to 1 it has no effect, but you should be able to change that as you please).

Can I ask a really dumb question? I have a level 41 priest with 289 enchanting skills which I use to just buy level 61+ items and de them and then sell the mats or use them to make other things (Imbued Netherweave Bag for example). I've been following this thread and the previous one, and have used Chardonnay's example (with everyone else's help) but I still get BTM offering me junk that I just don't want.

I'm happy to get DE items from items level 40+ so that I still get my Dream Dust etc, but how do I switch the rest of it off?

by junk you mean DE items that you don't want (i.e. lower level ones) or just random other popups like say Zhevra Leather or Silk Cloth and such?

Because if you're using Chardonnay's baserule completely, without the additions Bishop made, the line

-- assume item is worthless until proven otherwise
basePrice = 0

makes sure that you really only get items that are either for DE, or are on the watchlist, everything else is automatically valued at 0 and disregarded. If you're still getting random junk, check if you have this line. If that doesn't work for you, you could change the /btm variables so nothing seems interesting to buy to btm, with /btm pctprofit 10000 or something along those lines but that shouldn't be necessary

If you only want higher lvl DE items you could do two things the way I see it. As you might've seen, Chardonnay created a custom rule for me to put in getDisenchantvalue since I can only disenchant up to lvl 99 items and you could use that rule in reverse to get only higher lvl items. Like say if you want to get items lvl 40+ you would make it

if quality >= UNCOMMON and quality <= EPIC and not badItem[itemID] and level >= 40 then

This will disregard any items for disenchant that are not at least itemlevel 40 (although I think you meant useable by level 40 which is not the same as itemlevel 40, if you want to disregard any items that don't at least give dream dust, you should use itemlevel 50 instead, you can see in the disenchant table in the baserule which lvl items give which disenchants )

Alternatively, what I think you could do is use the price adjustment system Chardonnay devised that is at the top, where it says for instance:

[LASTRAL] = 1,
[LMAGIC] = 1,

[ARCANE] = 1,
[ILLUSION] = 1,

and simply set all the reagents that you don't want to get to 0, that way the baserule should valuate items that give that type of reagent to 0 value and shouldn't prompt you for buyout. That way you don't have to change anything to the code.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a go

The watchlist is a godsend as well. Like you I'm slowly adding some items that I see sell well at my server, as well as modifying some of the prices.

There's one crafter on my server who crafts Bracers of Havok and puts them on AH for 65G, I've bought a couple so far and turned them around in 1-2 days for 95G each time, haha.. gotta love that. Yesterday I breached 1000g (cash, not counting stock ) for the first time, today I'm at around 1200, with I reckon about 400-500g worth of stock and items. Not bad considering I started trading and DEing two weeks ago with a starting capital of 40G and no clue about disenchanting, bottomscanner or baserules Started using BTM and Exchantrix since my enchanting lvl was pretty low then anyway, but it wasnt until I started using this baserule (last week or so) that the cash really started rolling in.

Once again many thx to Chardonnay for his brilliant baserule, as well as to the devs of BTM and auctioneer of course.

Hehe, I have a very similar problem, the market on my server is very heavily patrolled by more than one auctioneer user -- beyond myself. At least one other even posts on the forums here. And I'm sure someone's already done something similar to your watchlist long ago, because those kinds of deals are only possible on my server when watching the live auctions being posted.

I just noticed today that I have apparently been getting disenchant recommendations both from this custom baserule, and from BTM's own disenchant logic. At least that's how it appears: most recommendations appear with a reason of "disenchant", and infrequently with the reason of "Disenchant" (notice capitalization).

Looking at the custom baserule code, it uses the capitalized version when it sets its reason text. Does this really mean that two separate disenchant rules are in effect here? If so, should I set one of BTM's disenchant-related options to disable the built-in rule?

Also, will doing so dramatically reduce the number of "for disenchant" auctions showing up? -- because 95%+ of the DE purchase recommendations I get are of the "disenchant", not "Disenchant" variety.

Thanks for help..

Well, after some more investigation, it appears my assumption was correct. When you have "/btm enchant" set to a value greater than 0, BTM's built-in disenchant rule gets called before the custom baserule. When this happens, you get a bid/buy recommendation based on an expected profit that is generally much higher than Chardonnay's custom baserule. And it seems that only when the built-in rule does NOT trigger a recommendation does the custom baserule get executed for the item.

Setting "/btm enchant 0" appears to have disabled the built-in disenchant rule for me entirely. As a result I am now receiving a much larger number of "Disenchant" (custom) recommendations, and with considerably lower expected profit figures, most probably because Enchantrix's DE mat predictions (used by the built-in rule) are much too generous.

So, if you're using this custom baserule from this thread, I recommend setting "/btm enchant 0", and if you need to restrict DE purchases by item level (because of a low disenchanting skill) edit your baserule to include the "level <= ##" criteria noted in the above comments.


Also thanks for your comment Toraa.

joelpt

There are auctions posted for lessers becuse they are worth more. (I know I'm going to post an auction where I can make the most money.... Essence arbitrage is your friend!)

So you're trying to find the minimum value for the disenchant materials?
I'd be looking for "what is the maximum reasonable price I can sell these mats for right now", and in your case that would be the lesser essence price (or lesser=max(lesser,greater/3) to keep it general).

Modified Bishop's "Cheap Prism" rule.
I've added a cut price variable to ease cross-faction scanning (I use one character to scan for buyouts for cross-faction auctions, then a second for bids and buyouts for home auctions).
Also, I was missing too many Small Prismatic Shards which, on my server, go for more than the large. Extra logic to catch those. I smell redundancy. =( How can I better simplify this?

--AH cut price
local myAHcut = 0.95 -- home/other AH cut
--local myAHcut = 0.85 -- neutral AH cut

local _,_, quality, level, _, class, _,_,_ = GetItemInfo(itemID)
local myCheapLPrism = myAHcut * 140000 --price I *know* I can sell L. and S. Prismatic Shards on
local myCheapSPrism = myAHcut * 50000 --weekends despite what current pricing data reflects

if (quality >= RARE and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor") and level > 84) then
if (quality >= RARE and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor") and level < 100) then
reason = "Cheap S.Prismatic"
basePrice = priceUpperLimit[SPRISMATIC]
myCheapPrism = myCheapSPrism
end

if (quality >= RARE and (class =="Weapon" or class == "Armor") and level > 99) then
reason = "Cheap L.Prismatic"
basePrice = priceUpperLimit[LPRISMATIC]
myCheapPrism = myCheapLPrism
end

if buyPrice <= myCheapPrism then
action = "buy"
elseif bidPrice <= myCheapPrism then
action = "bid"
end
end

if you want to use enchantrix you don't really need to use a baserule I think, you can just use enchantrix + btmscanner with bidding on enchants set to 'on'.

The problem with this is that enchantrix doens't have any post TBC information, so you'll only be getting 'old' items.

This is how I started before I found this awesome baserule and it does work, just not as well as this does.

I am using this ruleset, but I'm seeing one issue: If an item has both resale and disenchanting possibilties (or even vendor/disenchanting possibilities), the resale/vendor prompts come up first, even if the disenchant is by far the better (read: more profitable) choice. (I say "no" to a lot of the resale items, just because resale prices on some items are somewhat inflated on my server, and I've developed a "feel" for what sells quickly and what takes forever.) This isn't happening all that often, but at least once/twice per day I'm catching something that prompts a buyout for (example) 3.5g that has a resale value of 5g, yet has a disenchanting value of nearly 7.5g. If I say "no" to the prompt, I don't get prompted again for the disenchanting buyout.

Is there a way to reverse this order a bit, or is this just an artifact of the way BottomScanner works?

Anyone mind sharing their running results with this baserule? My weekly average net profit for the past two weeks is just over 1,200 gold. How do I compare? It *feels* like I should be making a good bit more. =(

Is the vast majority of that from DE'ing stuff? I don't have an enchanter who can DE anything higher than level 63, so I've limited my AH activity for those purchases.

My best week was over 2000g, followed by a week of 1300g, but most of that was from buying items in stacks and splitting, or buying cheap items and combining into even stacks for easier sales. Since those weeks I have not really kept track, as I've also made many gear and enchant upgrades for my main.

I'm currently using a modified version of just the twink gear portion of your watchlist, with a few of mine thrown in.

Almost entirely enchanting reagents for me. I want to work on writing logic to determine what tradeskill items are worth, from a disenchanting perspective. Take netherweave cloth, for example. 18x[Netherweave Cloth] + 1x[Runethread] = [Netherweave Bracers] which matches this line in the table: [99] = { { ARCANE , 0.75, 2.5 }, { LPLANAR , 0.20, 2.5 }, { SPRISMATIC , 0.05, 1.0 }, }

Right now I'm just setting snatch prices manually. Anyone already done something like this to their baserule already?

Hi,is it possible to use the DE values for the "new" items ENX now offers in combination with BTM? If yes, does it do that automatically, using BTM functionality, or do I still have to write a new baserule for that?

hi all, just discovered this amazing addon, but i dont know any about lua programing, so I have some questions, hope that arent stupid lol

let say that im using the baserule at top of thread posted by Deckard

will i need edit something to work at this way:

- only popup me with DE deals based on prices edites on baserule,eg: [20725] = 75000, -- Nexus Crystal
i dont want BTM to look for auctioneer reagent prices, want it to just check my baserule prices

- can i edit this? : "[11134] = 999999999, -- Lesser Mystic Essence" to BTM forget about popup me with items that DE in poor reagents that i dont want

- like somone sayd above, i dont want resale itens and ajusted my pctprofit for somelike 100000, my baserule still will look for that twink itens listed on baserule ? i want to resell just twink itens :P

- i really need this ? since i dont care about how many reagens I have to sell or how market is going on:

-- A price adjustment to favour/disfavour particular reagents
-- depending on the market and how much of the reagent I have
-- already. Set manually, but I am working on automating this
local priceAdjustment = {
[VOID] = 0.5,
[NEXUS] = 0.5,

[LPRISMATIC] = 1,
[LBRILLIANT] = 1,
[LRADIANT] = 1,
........



I wonder if I need use all that baserule to just do what i want, that is look for DE deals based on my ownbaserule edited prices without auctionner ou enchantrix prices, and dont see popup for resell itens unless are that twink ones, I have ajusted my pctdeprofit to 70% and mindeprofit to 3g and is just fine to me like this
if so, someone can "post" a light version of that baserule?
ty for all and sorry for bad eng

ty chardonnay, u cleared my mind :P
just need one more help
i dunno what must edit to change de getReagentValue function to use only the upperLimit price ingnoring the median and snapshot.
as i told im a totaly freak at lua code :P

still isnt working, here all things i changed from the original

}

2:
local priceAdjustment = {

3:
return upperLimit * adjust * itemCount

4:
-- min profit for bid
local bidMinProfitRel = 0.50
local bidMinProfitAbs = 10000

-- min profit for buy
local buyMinProfitRel = 0.50
local buyMinProfitAbs = 10000

after saved the baserule i reloged and scaned AH, BTM popup me with this deal:
http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/9462/wowscrnshot060607094354st0.jpg

since i use 1 cooper value for Greater nether Essece dunno how he show me that, and is just 6% chance do SRS, im not sure if that 6% can count in the deal or BTM still is using acutoneer data ignoring my static prices

so if baserule is ok i will start try configs :P ty for all replys and keep the nice work

No, it's very specific in what it looks for. If you want it to look for other things, it shouldn't be too hard to combine it with one of the more general purpose examples on the wiki.

Ok... I need some help... I'm confused and getting frustrated.

On my second machine I can use the command /btm baserule and it works fine. On the first machine /btm always gives me /btmscan isn't loaded messages. If I use /btmscan baserule it works on machine 1. But if I end the same Baserule that compiles fine on Machine 2 into machine one's baserule window which was accessed with the /btmscan baserule command it always gives me Error compiling baserule. I've wipe the .lua file for save variables on machine 1 and I've complete duplicated the addon's folder, and even wiped the addons folder and re downloaded and reinstall the addons.

is there some way to find out where the compiling error is occuring, what line of the Baserule code? I have swatter and I get nothing on it. Tell me there is some way to trouble shoot this short of doing it one line at a time.

This is the baserule I am using, which is 99% what is posted here with only modification the item value.
