What is Lootvalue?
Lootvalue is another show-the-vendor-price-of-items-in-the-tooltip addon, but it also knows about what items are used as reagents for other items via your tradeskills, and so can show you what items are used for. So if you've ever wondered what tradeskills those items in your bags can be used for, Lootvalue can help!
Lootvalue was written to minimize memory usage and to be as non-invasive as possible, so it should run safely on everything capable of running WoW. It is also a learning addon, so it will always learn about changes in prices and usage from the game as you play.
Lootvalue now contains its own built-in set of about 26,000 item prices (courtesy of Informant and SellFish primarily) along with a selection of usage information for various tradeskills (helpfully supplied by various members of The Applesauce Gang, the tradeskillers in the Doomhammer alliance trade channels, and Maldivia's Tradelinks addon). A user's own data will be used to compliment this built-in data set, and will always be used automatically in preference if it differs from the built-in data.
Stack size
By default, Lootvalue will show the stack size of items (if they have one) in the top-right corner of the tooltip. If you prefer, you can tell Lootvalue to show the stack size on its own line using the /lootvalue stack line slash command, or not to display it at all using /lootvalue stack off. To restore to the default corner position, just use /lootvalue stack corner.
Sell prices
The sell price to a vendor is shown at the bottom with gold, silver, and copper values shown as colored text fields, by default. You can disable this, or set it to show in the normal blizzard "coin" style using the /lootvalue price command.
Item usage
By default, Lootvalue only shows the item usage when the ALT key is pressed, but you can change that to always show it through the /lootvalue usage on command, or you can change it to another key using /lootvalue usage ctrl (control key) or /lootvalue usage shift (shift key), but leaving it at alt is recommended because the control and shift keys are used by the default client for other meanings.
You can change what tradeskills are shown in the tooltip when displaying the usage of an item so that it shows only those skills known by the current character using /lootvalue usage self, all those known to Lootvalue but with only those known by the current character shown in color (which is the default as seen in the image) using /lootvalue usage color, or all tradeskills known by Lootvalue in their appropriate colors using /lootvalue usage all.
Colors in the usage list reflect the rarity of the item for which the tooltip'd item is a reagent for.
You can also tell Lootvalue to not show the usage for a particular item at all through the /lootvalue ignore slash command. You'll still see the vendor sell price though!
Auction house
One other feature that you might like is that when you visit the auction house, Lootvalue will (optionally) show you the bid and buyout price of each item in the tooltip as you mouse over it, and will show you those prices per item when the item is a stack, making it very easy to compare prices between stacks of different sizes. Note that there isn't any historical data associated with this (i.e., Lootvalue isn't an auction scanning addon), it just provides you with the current information on a per item basis to make it easy to compare prices and determine which stacks to spend your gold on.
Integration with Lootcounter
If you have Cirk's Lootcounter installed, Lootvalue can automatically show which of your characters have the item shown in the tooltip, and how many of them they have. This is controlled by the /lootvalue count option, and defaults to on if Lootcounter is present.
Importing data from other addons
The 2.3 version of Lootvalue starts off with a built-in set of item prices and some initial tradeskill usage information. Lootvalue will learn further tradeskill information simply by you opening your tradeskill windows, but vendor pricing it learns as you gain items and then visit a vendor or merchant. One way to quickly get a large database of vendor prices is to use Lootvalue's /lootvalue import slash command. The import command currently knows how to read data from Telo's Lootlink, from Informant (which is the component of Auctioneer that handles vendor price information), and from any other addon that provides the GetSellValue API.
Importing data from Lootlink happens immediately when you run the command. Importing from Informant and from other GetSellValue providing addons takes a few minutes, but this happens in the background so it shouldn't stop you from doing anything else that you'd normally do. Lootvalue will print a message when it is done, but if you miss it, or are wondering if it is still importing, just do /lootvalue import again and Lootvalue will tell you whether it is still importing or whether the import completed! (Lootvalue remembers the version of the information you last imported in the case of Informant, so it won't try and import it again).
Once the importing is done, you can (optionally) logout and disable Lootlink or Informant or the other data providing addon, and then you can log back in and let Lootvalue work for you instead. Of course if you need features that Lootvalue doesn't have but those other addons do then you'll need to leave them enabled.
Tradeskill recipes
Lootvalue can show you what recipes are used to create items if you have the item link or ID (from a chat channel), have the item shown in the item tooltip (by clicking on a link), or can mouseover the item in question using the /lv id command. This command will also show you the level of an item if you want to know this.
Lootvalue slash commands
Lootvalue supports the following slash commands:
/lootvalue on enables LootvalueYou can also use /lv instead of /lootvalue.
/lootvalue off disables Lootvalue
/lootvalue ignore stops showing usage information for the item under the cursor
/lootvalue restore restore usage information for the item under the cursor

Lootvalue v3.1.0
Just uploaded v3.1.0 with a bunch of changes and improvements, including using a lot less memory (down to under 500kB), and adding in the ability to get a recipe link from a item (if it is crafted) using the /lv id command.
fuqinisim, this version should work with Bagnon and Armory now - thanks for the heads up on that issue. beserk1, I've added display of the item level to the /lv id command, which you can use with an item link, or when the item shown in the item tooltip (from clicking a link in chat), or when you are moused over the item in question. It doesn't show in the tooltip itself though.

Lootvalue v3.0.2 - more dataz!
Version 3.0.2 has a bunch more item price data (courtesy of SellFish 2.1.4), more tradeskill data (courtesy of, well, a lot of people on Doomhammer), and now adds the /lootvalue price coin option if you want to see item prices in Blizzard style coin format, rather than Lootvalue's default (as many have requested ).
No plans to add item level (yet) though I'm afraid beserk1. Also, thanks to those of you who PM'd me about sending me their WotLK price data, and apologies I didn't get back to everyone!

Seems like there's some interest here for the "coin style" loot value, so I'll look at adding that for the next version
In regards to WotLK prices, basically no-one has collected enough price data to update this - its all based on user collected values, and those values are shared through addons like Lootvalue. If you have a lot of WotLK item price information that you'd like to share, feel free to PM me here at WoWInterface with your Lootvalue.lua file from your WTF/<accountname>/SavedVariables directory, and I'll roll those into the next release!

GetSellValue Support
Greetings, I have a small request regarding the GetSellValue support in the mod. But I'll start with a little example that explains the problem, I am the author of a mod that deals with looting items, and one of the ways it allows users to loot is by the value of the item. Now seeing as how the GetSellValue API allows me to code the use of one function which would allow users to use any supporting value mod they wish and it'd work fine its a great idea, I've used informant and itemprice tooltips before and everything worked fine.
However once I switched to your mod since I like a number of the features you have such as stack number in tooltip and so on and that yours is updated, I started going around and noticed things weren't looting by my set values. I took a glance at your code and noticed that your GetSellValue API support isn't exactly on the mark, as your function for it isn't just "GetSellValue" (as listed at Here) but Lootvalue.GetSellValue, which sort of defeats the purpose of the API, since other authors need to code specific for your version of GetSellValue (they can't just call "GetSellValue" and have it work with yours, they have to call Lootvalue.GetSellValue). But anyhow, I apologize for the length of this post, but I just thought I'd point that out in hope that you could change that, and thank you for the mod as well. |
