New profile for World of Warcraft: The War Within! (Patreon)

I've just released a new profile for WoW Retail, BilisRetailTWW(v1.0) for all T3 "TSM Profiles + Early Access" patrons.

All T2 "TSM Profiles" patrons will also gain access to this profile in time for the launch of the new The War Within expansion (unless there are any unexpected major issues).

Edit: The profile is available to all T2 "TSM Profiles" patrons now.

This is a continuation of the retail DF profile, but thanks to some of the amazing new TSM 4.14 features it is more of an overhaul.

How to get the new profile:

As usual, as a T3 "TSM Profiles + Early Access" patron, you just need to send your TradeSkillMaster.lua file that is located in your World of Warcraft/_retail_/WTF/Account/<YourAccount>/SavedVariables/ folder to the @BilisOnyxia Bot#1288 via DM. The bot will add the new profile to your file and return the file to you.

Keep in mind that while this will not override any of your existing profiles, it will override all of the "bilis" custom sources and reset them to their default values. If you have made changes to these custom sources, you might want to note them down or take a screenshot, so that you can easily reapply those changes after the update.

Changelog BilisRetailTWW(v1.0)

•  Added new TWW items (currently only the base item versions are grouped, for some items I will add the ItemLevel versions as well in the future).

• Moved DF items into the appropriate Old Content groups.

• Simplified the groups (there is no need for sub-groups based on the exact stack size thanks to the new MaxStack value source).

• Added sniper operations.

• Reworked almost all operations:

    • Reduced the overall number of operations.

    • Vendoring operations now allow you to purchase/restock items to flip.

    • Auctioning, shopping and sniping operations all account for VendorBuy, ensuring that you sell your vendor items at a profit and that you don't buy/snipe vendor items that you could just buy from a vendor for cheaper (this only works for items that you have seen at a vendor)

    • Increased the maximum prices of auctioning operations to better handle heavily fluctuating prices, especially early on in TWW.

• Moved pretty much all items that can be bought from vendors into "Vendor" sub groups. These items aren't treated any differently (aside from vendor transmog and recipes), but you will be able to see if an item could be bought from a Vendor in your tooltip, allowing for more educated purchasing decisions, especially if you do not have any VendorBuy data yet.

• Added a new custom source bilisminshoppingvalue to exclude items below a certain value from shopping and sniper scans, as well as when buying vendor items.

• Adjusted the default values of some custom sources to utilize the new MaxStack value source. This source enables us to use different rules for non-stackable and stackable items with one and the same custom source.

• Added many old content items that were missing from the profile.

• Added a "DELETE" group. As the name suggests, you can simply delete this group if you want. It has no operations assigned. I use it when I am updating the profile.

Warning:

As most DF gear will no longer be relevant in terms of actually equipping characters, this new profile only has the Base Item versions of DF BoEs grouped, along with any other "transmog" items. This means that TSM will no longer differentiate between your higher ilvl versions and other versions of the item, so it might post your items at a cheaper price than what you expect.

If you'd prefer to still differentiate between the different item level versions for these items, make sure to add the "Item Level" versions to your groups.

Also, as a general word of caution: Pricing data for new items won't be very reliable (if it's even available) for a little while. You shouldn't necessarily trust TSM's pricing data while prices are really volatile early on. It usually takes a little while for prices to settle and for pricing data to catch on.

This is not to say that you cannot use TSM or my profile early on, but you'll want to be a bit more cautious than usual and might have to manually purchase and post items at times, if the operations don't handle things quite right just yet.
