Welcome to my guide on how to use this WONDERFUL auction house bot, Salesman! You have unlocked the power to make millions and millions of gold by buying this botbase, and it's my job to teach you how to do it! In this guide I'll have pictures and text detailing how to download, set up salesman, create a list, etc.
The first thing you want to do after purchasing salesman is to go to your products @ Log in - botHaven - and then find Salesman and select the beta version:
Easy enough right? Now what you want to do is open up your bothaven Manager plugin in HB and click salesman, it will download the bot and then you want to restart. You will now see Salesman 3 on your botbases list!
Click "Bot Config" with Salesman 3 selected as your bot. You will be greeted with this screen (except for "Sell to AH" and "Cancel Auctions" up top.)
Now up top click Add Mod, Sell to AH.
To remove items (for future reference) from the top list of tasks, just click it and press "del" on your keyboard.
Then click Add Mod, Cancel Auctions. Congrats! You have what is in the picture above
I don't mess around with the individual settings of each. This setup is also intended to not be left afk for hours on end, it's a cycle or 2 and then I log off to another toon. If you want it to be auctioning for hours you need to then "Add Task - Wait" and at a MINIMUM keep the values of 10-15. Sell on AH should Get Mail, Deposit Items and Withdraw Items, while Cancel Auctions only should Get Mail, not Deposit all Items.
Now click "General" and it's time to set up the WoWu and TUJ Pricing sourcing. Go to both WoWuction.com and Theunderminejournal.com and register. You need to in order to get your API token/key. Then just copy and paste as followed:
Go to Data Export and make sure your correct faction and region is selected on your serv.
On TUJ, go to the top left "Controls for XXXX" and then scroll down until you find this:
Then just fix up salesman how it should be. I set them both to download AUTOMATICALLY every 1 HOUR. I live in the US (not EU) and left the primary and secondary price default, WoWu Ah Market Price and WoWu Today's Projected Market Price. Not the best source in the world but it suffices for now, I'm sure more will be added in the future. Deposit money I also keep at 0c 0c, I have no need for that.
Now click the "Salesman" tab and here's the fun part. Before we add our items lets configure the settings. Click Settings on the bottom left and change the settings outlined in RED to what I have set them to:
My markets, Gems, Glyphs, and Enchants are all very competitive. I set my price thresholds to allow a lot of market volatility (which is why I'd like crafting cost implemented as a minimum price). My minimum price is 45% lower than the chosen pricing source, in our case, the WoWu Auction House Market Price. If there is nobody else posting a certain item that YOU have, though, it posts at the fallback. Default is 5% or something which is ridiculous, I set it to +50% because if a glyph isn't on the AH, the average price is 200g, I want to start with a post of 600g and get undercut from THERE instead of 200g and get undercut from there, you want to go as high as you can! (600g is the cap for me, i've found in my experience. Most players won't pay much more for a glyph unless it's extremely rare/awesome)
I also change the undercut type from a percentage (1%) to a value, of 1c. All auction house addons undercut the competition by 1c, 20g is undercut to 19g99s99c. We don't need to undercut an ENTIRE PERCENT! If we were selling something that is on the AH for 100g, we want to put it on not for 99g but for 99g99s99c. the extra gold adds up and you really just want to maximize your profits and undercut by a copper. Done with settings. Exit that window and click save in Salesman.
Now for the item list. This is the LAST PART DUDE!
Salesman comes with some nifty presets. Glyphs and Gems to be exact. Doesn't come with enchants yet so I have to add those manually. But I'm not going to teach you every single step of adding items, it's rather intuitive. To begin click Presets on the bottom left, I'll show you one more screenshot
I first clicked Glyphs, then all, then I set it to 3 stacks of 1 for 12 hours. Cool.
Now I check Gems. I select all of the blue rarity gems, set it to 3 stacks of 1 for 12 hours. Done.
Now here's the part that's a pain...Select "EXCUDE IF ALREADY ADDED" and "BAGS" "BANK" and "GUILD BANK" - Make sure you're standing at your gbank if you want to use it. This will load up a list of your items that are NOT YET in your salesman list, that are either in your bag, bank, or gbank. Add them as you wish. Tip: you can click the check box for an item and use the arrow keys to navigate to the next items as well as using the space bar to "check" or"uncheck" the box.
And that's it. Have fun testing and running salesman 3. Setup is the same for salesman 2. This is a beta version and there are bugs. Please leave a response if you found this guide helpful as it took me 3 hours to create. I may also make a video if this is popular!
Please experiment with Salesman and don't follow this guide like a bible. Everybody makes gold differently and this is just my guide on how I use salesman, I did not elaborate on my jewelcrafting, transmuting, enchanting, etc - that is not part of this bot and thus not part of this guide. Enjoy
