==============================

What is Emporium?

Emporium is a new Auction House addon focused on making the AH easier to use, easier to understand and less painful than getting lost in endless filters and badly sorted lists.

The main idea is simple:

Instead of only showing more auction data, Emporium tries to help players make better Auction House decisions.

It is designed around what players actually want to do:

• Find useful gear upgrades
• Compare auction gear with currently equipped gear
• Restock consumables
• Find useful talismans
• Check market prices
• Spot good deals
• Sell items with better price context

This is currently a beta release. The addon is already usable and functional, but it is still being improved. I would really appreciate feedback, bug reports and edge cases from different careers, ranks and playstyles.

==============================

Main features

Cleaner Auction House interface
Emporium uses a custom AH window with dedicated sections for Search, Shop, Consumables, Talismans, Sell and Saved searches.

Search and browsing
Search the Auction House with clearer result rows, sorting, buyout values and price per unit display.

Market price context
Emporium tracks market prices locally from the searches you perform. Over time, it builds useful price context such as typical price, cheapest seen price and sample count.

vs Market verdicts
Auction listings can show market-based labels such as Great Deal, Fair, Overpriced, Suspicious Low or Thin Market.

Buy confirmation
Buying uses a confirmation step to help prevent accidental purchases.

Gear Assistant
The Shop section can read your equipped gear and help search for possible upgrades by slot.

Gear comparison
Auction gear can be compared against your currently equipped item, with stat differences shown directly in the results.

Consumable recommendations
Emporium includes role and career-aware consumable suggestions to help you restock useful items faster.

Talisman recommendations
The Talismans section helps search and rank useful talismans based on role, stat, value and usability.

Saved searches
You can save useful searches and load them again later.

Sell helper
Select items from your bags, check competing prices and get suggested pricing based on current market listings.

Advanced selling tools
Emporium includes early beta support for pricing strategies, saved sell rules, stack splitting, batch posting, restock and undercut management.

My listings
View your active auctions, check if they are undercut and cancel selected or undercut listings.

==============================

Beta status

Emporium is already usable, but it is still in active development.

The current version focuses on:

• Better AH navigation
• Cleaner buying experience
• Market price context
• Gear upgrade discovery
• Talismans
• Consumables
• Manual and advanced selling assistance

Some advanced selling features are still considered beta and need more testing, especially batch posting, restock, undercut management and saved sell rules.

==============================

Known limitations

• Market data is local and builds over time from your own AH searches.
• Gear comparison focuses mainly on stat bonuses and may not evaluate every special item effect perfectly.
• Talisman ranking is still being refined.
• Some item categories, slots or career-specific cases may need adjustment.
• Advanced selling tools are functional but still need wider testing.
• A full settings panel is planned for a future version.

Thanks to anyone willing to test it.

The goal is to make the Auction House easier to use, easier to understand and more helpful for actual player decisions, instead of just adding more filters to an already messy system.

[guessgap]

thank you for this contribution, sounds great. i will try it out later!

[guessgap]

played around with it a bit and my first impression is really positive.
im honestly surprised theres not more people commenting here or downloading and trying it, especially bc i feel the normal auction house and addon alternatives are lacking a bit.

great that the addon is class-sensitive and gives me template options that suit my class.
also very nice to see the market averages/typicals (if i may ask: how are they measured?).

heres a few things id like to add from my testing:
-i cant see my fourth jewelry slot in the shop tab (also cant see a way to scroll down)
-i only get gear alternatives in the shop tab for some gear slots, eg only jewelry slot 1 offers me gear alternatives. i thought its maybe bc of the jewelry, so i switched my jewelry slot 1 and 2, but again: only got a gear alternative offered for jewelry slot 1
-i tested we class and dok class: both didnt show an armor talisman option. im no gearing expert, but i feel like dok class can make good use of an armor talisman
-in the sell section id like to see an option to quickly look at all sellers offers not just the cheapest one

tldr:
great work so far with clean interface and easy to navigate. makes using auction house more comfortable (for me) and gives me some valuable extra information.
good luck and i hope this will get a full release after the mandatory early access phase

This addon is wild. A+++. Makes my life so much easier for the AH and is so much better than shinies at the moment.

Thank you!!!!

dude this is great

Thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciate it.

About the market prices: Emporium builds its market data locally from the AH searches you do. So it does not start with a global database, but it learns over time as you browse/search the Auction House. It stores price-per-unit samples and uses them to show things like typical price, cheapest seen price and general market context.

The points about the Shop / Gear Assistant are very useful. I will do a tighter polish pass there, especially around jewelry slots, slot detection and the way gear alternatives are searched. The Gear Assistant is one of the main features of Emporium, so I want that section to feel reliable and clear.

Good point as well about talismans and career/build differences. Some recommendations may need more tuning, especially for edge cases or builds that do not fit perfectly into a simple role category.

For the Sell section, showing more competing offers instead of only focusing on the cheapest one makes sense. That would give a better view of the market before listing an item, so I will add that to the improvement list.

Thanks again for testing it and for the detailed notes. Please keep posting bugs, strange item behavior, wrong suggestions or Lua errors if you find them. This kind of feedback is exactly what helps improve the beta.

My only issue so far is you cannot see what the posted sales are when you put an item up for sale. It shows the current lowest price on the market, but that doesn't tell you if the current lowest price is some vastly undercut price and the rest of them are selling for the right price. Needs to be able to see the last few for sale instead of the current lowest price like Shinies does.

Not sure if I like the list of items instead of dragging and dropping.

Edit: I see you already mentioned adding more than just the last price, sorry

[TheRealRunkleDunkle]

I'll be giving it a good workout. I can already see some good value here and I feel pretty optimistic.

I've used it to price a few dozen items. It needs a manual option for prices since some of the market items are overpriced and pulled the average price above the real value of the items.

Also your program seems to know that I'm actually targeting flippers with my sales by marking them all as "suspicious" thats pretty funny
