I updated the code to make it compatible with the latest wow 5.0.5 now.

I also named the bot Hermes which is the name of god of business

I've tested on eu realms but not us realms. please let me know your experience of using. If you meet problems on us realms. Just leave a message here and if you can borrow me your account for a while for test purpose that would be brilliant.

Cheers guys.

Many thanks for your support again.

for product like Embersilk Bag

this bag is not stackable which means you can only sell one item at a time, so you can configure

Id: 54443
Name: Embersilk Bag
Stack Size: 1
Total Stacks: 1 to 20
Duration: don't change
Cost: 2000000 ---> this means 200g for each item, just so you know this means 200g00s00c, so you put there
Below the cost, the auction will not be created.

Start Price: 3000000 ---->this means when there's no similar items on ah, auction will start at this price which is 300g, you can set whatever you like

Please note, item name is case sensitive, for Embersilk Bag, you can't do embersilk bag

As you know new patch is coming, I will need to test the functionalities after my game client updated.
then pass you to test. Also if you send me private message, please make sure your inbox is not full cos i can't send you back if they're full.

Now new functions are added.
1. items are configurable
2. you can set up a cost for auction item, below the cost auctions will not be created.
3. you can set up how often you want to check against server to create the auctions.

Features under development,

Report and Notification system

My idea is from once the bot starts, the sales and cancel/create auctions will be recorded, when you finish selling one product, email will be sent to you to remind you to make more. Also the competitors will be recorded, you will need to add them as your friend in game and investigate their activity. When the bot finishes working, the report will be generated. I hope by doing this, people will understand the bot more and can have different sale strategies for different products. Also if you have any ideas about it, please let me know.


many thanks.

first of all, many thanks for your help to do the test for me, special thanks to

berryman13 - he was with me for almost 4 hours and the bot is working in us server now
Maleth(robbie) - he was with me for almost 5 hours to help me resolve a bug in the bot.

here're one of the rules for remote ah bot and to what you need to understand before you decide to help me with the test

1. you can't use this bot while you're playing the game
2. you can't have blizzard authenticator
3. you can't just say, Larry, I want to do the test and then go to raid and leave me alone
4. you might need to download a remote customer service software which is teamviewer and I might need to remote in your desktop to find out what is the problem
5. I'll ask you several questions before start
5.1 are you from eu or us?
5.2 are you alliance or horde
5.3 what items you want to sell, up to three.
5.4 do you have blizzard authenticator
5.5 how many items in total in your auction house? you can find out by searching nothing in auction house.
6. your patience and time. around 1 hour or 2.

many thanks again.

This morning I received an email from Blizzard saying that remote auction house is free for all wow subscribers.

This is really a good news for me as I've finished writing a remote ah bot.

Currently all the code is hard coded and I want to make a library out of it.

This bot is working like an enhanced version of TSM auctioner which will help me do things(cancel auction, create auction, price cutting below automatically.

1. Auto login game, you don't have to start game client
2. Load auction list which is a dictionary of itemId and itemName
such as 77101,Glyph of Shadow
3. Start the auction
Lets say I have a list of 10 items which I want to sell

every 10 secs, the bot will go to check the ah automatically to find out if the lowest price on ah is from me, if it is not, it will cancel my previous auctions and recreate this auction by undercut the lowest price by 1 copper. If yes, it will do nothing.

It is a simple auction bot and you just need to wait and claim the gold after. I've been testing it myself for a week now, so far so good. But only enemy is the limitation of remote ah usage time which is 200 atm. Through my test, its more than enough for doing auctions in gems but not glyphs(in my realm, there're 25k items in alliance auction house and 15k items in horde auction house. If you have several accounts then you will rock in glyph market by using this bot.

Myself is a c# programmer, I know assembly, C and C++ but not as much as c#. My bot uses Http Get / Http Post to communicate with blizzard server.

I'll post the bot in action this evening after work, any1 interested in having some fun and do some tests for me?

Also another questions I read the book list thread which is
http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...ookthread.html

and I'm wondering are there any c# books for that? or I must learn c++ in depth.

I always want to be a game developer but still now miserably working as a stupid application developer. Any suggestions for me to apply a job in some game company. what should I learn? Where shall I start?

Cool idea. But couldn't you lose a lot of money for this type of thing? Don't you lose a deposit or something for early cancelation?

Good question, every day in alliance, I canceled around 70 times for my gems.

which is around 40 gold

but comparing to what the sell value its nothing

my cost of each gem is 50 gold.

as i was typing, sold two more gems..

there is/was a remote ah bot I used it with great success

[berryman13]

I'd love to test it, just got into the remote AH myself and was hoping another bot would come around. I take it the bot is a windows application that we log into and it doesn't utilize the game client?

you're right. it doesn't require game client. Many thanks for your help to do the test, I've send you private message including my skype. Cheers mate.

All I can say is wow.

Program is really early in development (lacks gui and all, uses the command prompt as an output window) That being said it is very awesome. We started small, with it cycling and posting the 3 inferno ruby cuts - bold/delicate/brilliant. I bought out all of the bold and reset the price at 250g (way too high). It was cut down quickly to 80g (more than I bought them for anyways) and then 50 or so sold. That's a lot at the time I had it running.

The most important aspect of this experience is that my rubies were at the top the ENTIRE time. I use Honorbuddy and many auction house addons, and let me just say -- this program cancels and posts faster than you can believe. It not having WoW open and just using the remote AH is so freakin' fast.

I can see this going far. Development seems to be continuing and I have given the dev some suggestions such as snatch lists

Now its sleep time for me...
