I have put a lot of time and effort into making this TSM Guide, but more so with getting the whole export ready,
and keeping that upto date…
It’s completely FREE! Therefore, I ask you of one thing, respect the owner of this content and do NOT share this
anywhere else, without permission!
I have seen a few people sharing this on YouTube, sharing it in YouTube comments and most annoyingly, other
discord servers!
Please refrain from doing this, it will simply result in a permanent ban from Studen’s discord and I’ll simply
change the links to the TSM guide and my Github profile. It’s an annoyance for me, so please just respect me and
the content I have made.
Introduction to TSM
What is TSM?
TradeSkillMaster (Mostly known and called “TSM”) is a World of Warcraft
addon that is designed around the idea of Gold Farming. It can group items
together and assign operations to those groups to Restock on Crafted
Transmog, Post and Cancel items on the Auction House and Snipe items for
you to flip (AND A LOAD MORE!)
It’s simply one of the best add-ons that has ever existed for World of Warcraft,
this is especially true when paired with Auctioneer OR Auctionator.

Additionally, you may want to pair TSM with one other Auction House
Addon, Pick ONE!
- Auctioneer (I Prefer)
- Auctionator (StudenAlbatroz Prefers)
How to Set-up
Simply Install the TSM Desktop App and Sign In
Click “Settings” and then “Setup Realm” As shown in the Image with the
Numbers and Coloured Boxes.
Your Realm Next, Sign into TSM on the Website it’ll load (The TSM Website), then follow
on the TSM Desktop the below picture, Select your Region, Select your Realm and then finally,
Click “Add Realm”!
App Now simply wait for the info to come through the TSM Desktop App!
Basic Price Sources
DBMinBuyout ( AuctionDB - Min Buyout)
This is the lowest price of an item on your Auction House, based on the latest Blizzard AH API Scan.
What is an Operation?
An operation contains the settings for your Group of which it would post at.
An operation is like a price tag, which can be attached to the box, which tells
the box how much each item should be worth, with How much to list an item
as a Maximum Price, Normal Price and a Minimum Price.
How to Add Items
This is IMPORTANT! READ THIS!
to Groups!
With my export, there will be a VERY FEW items that
are not added yet, so it’s important that you know how
to add items to the group! Image for guidance is on
the left!
TSM i)White) As shown, you can see the Item Name (What is currently in my bags)
and also on the right, the group that the item is assigned to!
Type in /macro
Drag the new macro to your bar
Click the macro once, now click it a second time.
Drag the macro off the bar.
RELOAD THE GAME ( /reload )
Note: If the macro does not work, Drag the macro to your bar again and click
it ONCE, reload the game and try at the AH again, do it once more if it
doesn’t work. It SHOULD work!
Everytime you go to Cancel / Post, Hold the Modifies and use your Scroll
Wheel! Much faster than clicking post every single time!
Setting up Groups
Setting up the
Type /tsm (Or click the Mini-Map Icon)

Giant Dinosaur Bone
Limited Stacks (10)
Pet Stuff
● Stackables
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also make separate Encrypted Twilight Text and Giant Dinosaur Bone
groups as TSM4 allows you to sell in stacks of 999 now! Encrypted Twilight
Text stacks up to 250, Giant Dinosaur Bones stack up to 999, so therefore 2
additional groups are required (Unless you want to post in the normal 20 /
200)
Setting up
Finally, with Patterns & Plans, Click the “ + ” Twice! Name the Sub-Groups
the following,
● Looted / Quest
Sub-Groups! ● Vendor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is it, you are done with the Groups! They SHOULD look like this!
Setting up Operations
Settings up
Click “Add” in the Auctioning tab, rename this operation to “Sell Armor &
weapon | Enchant”
Now, Click “Posting” on the “Sell Armor & Weapon | Enchant” Operation.
Operations! Set the Duration) 12H / 24H / 48H (Pick ANY, 12H / 24H is recommended)
Set Post Cap) Set this to 200, this sets the maximum quantity you want on the
AH, just set it to 200 and forget about it!
Set Post Stack Size) Leave this at 1, Enchants are best sold in stacks of 1!
Set Minimum Price) Set “When Below Min” to “Post at Normal Price”,
Then come back to the Min Price and put it as the following,
“ 35% min(DBMarket, DBRegionMarketAvg) ”
Set Max Price) Set “When Above Max” to “Post at Maximum Price”, Then
come back to the Max Price and put it as the following,
“ 200% AVG(DBRegionMarketAvg, DBRegionMinBuyoutAvg, DBRegionSaleAvg) ”
Repost Higher Threshold) Turn this off, simply set the number to “ 0c ”
You have completed your first operation! Now this is where the fast part
comes in, you can duplicate operations and simply just change the posting
settings based on this guide! You’ve done the hardest part!
Learning to
Duplicate
TSM4 has a button which you can click to Duplicate an Operation!
Operations! This will duplicate the exact settings and create another operation, but it’ll put
a number after it. (As you can see in Image3). The idea here, is using the
operation from “Sell Armor & Weapons | Enchant”, which you just made. We
will be duplicating this, and simply changing the name of the operation and
the Min, Normal and Max price in each to suit the group!
This makes setting up TSM4 extremely easy, as you’ll be able to skip most
stuff from what you did the first operation.
So, Click the Duplicate button on the “Sell Armor & Weapons | Enchant”
Operation, you’ll end up with “Sell Armor & Weapons | Enchant 1”, now click
this operation and rename the Operation to, (or Copy and Paste)
“ Sell Armor & Weapons | Gem ”
So once you have duplicated the operation, duplicate it again and name the
next operation “Sell Armor & Weapons | Xmog”.
Settings up
Now you have made the “Sell Armor & Weapon | Xmog” operation, you can
see there are a few changes. Simply adjust them as shown in the image, or as
said below!
Operations! Set Post Cap) Set the post cap to “ 2 ”, this is because you only want 2 of one
Xmog item to be on the auction house, one for when there is a buyer, and the
second one to be posted for if there is another buyer after the first one has
been bought, posting 3 at once is fine, but it’s a little excessive, so I’d suggest
setting the post cap to 2 for Xmog.
Operations! Set Post Cap) I set this to 3 for Battle Pets, they tend to sell faster than Xmog
and therefore having 3 on the auction house is acceptable, although you can
have 2 as your post cap for this operation if you really wish.
Operations! The only difference here, is the prices, so here they are!
Settings up
(ETC) easier to understand!
Operations!
Now we are moving onto the BfA Material Operations, it is extremely
important that you get this correct, so focus!
Duplicate the “Sell Battle Pet | L25” Operation, change the name to this
“ Sell Material (1) ”
Operations!
“ Sell Material (100)”. Notice in the image (Marked in red), that the Stack
Size has changed from “1” to “100”. The idea here, is you match the stack
size WITH the name of the operation! This is ALL that changes for the
Materials, you’ve setup the price in the first Material operation, so just dupe
the previous Material operation and change the stack size!
So, Sell Material (200) should have a posted stack size of 200.
Sell Sell Material (5) should have a posted stack size of 5.
Sell Material (100) should have a posted stack size of 100.
Operations! (With the numbers in the name and Stack Sizes, so just change what is below
and then duplicate them based on the name/numbers given!
Now, Duplicate the operation multiple times and rename them to the
following (And change the stack size!).
● Sell Consumable (1) ----> You just did this one!
● Sell Consumable (10)
● Sell Consumable (15)
● Sell Consumable (20)
● Sell Consumable (5)
Settings up
Now for the Giant Dinosaur Bones! For this, Duplicate “Sell Consumable 1”.
Name the duplicated operation “Sell Giant Dinosaur Bones (1)”
Operations! The only changes here are the prices, change the prices to as shown below,
Minimum Price) Set this to the following,
“ 60% min(DBMarket, DBRegionMarketAvg) ”
Now, just like the materials, duplicate this new operation and change the name
and stack size to the number in the name!
● Sell Giant Dinosaur Bones (1) ---> You Just did this one!
● Sell Giant Dinosaur Bones (200)
● Sell Giant Dinosaur Bones (5)
● Sell Giant Dinosaur Bones (50)
● Sell Giant Dinosaur Bones (999)
Settings up
Now for Miscellaneous Operations, simply duplicate the “Sell Material (1)”
operation and rename it to “Sell Miscellaneous (1)”. Now we just need to
change the pricing a little to suit Miscellaneous Items!
Just like previous groups, duplicate this exact operation which you just made
for the next Miscellaneous operations, and just change the name and stack!
● Sell Miscellaneous (1) ----> You just did this one!
● Sell Miscellaneous (10)
● Sell Miscellaneous (15)
● Sell Miscellaneous (20)
● Sell Miscellaneous (5)
Settings up
Time for Mounts! Although there are two sub-groups for Mounts (Common
and Rare), you only need one operation as the pricing of this operation is
perfect for both sub-groups.
Operations! Set Post Cap) I set this to 200 because of certain items in the group (in my
export), you can put this to 2 or 3, but Darkmoon Faire Artifacts (Quest Items)
are in this group, which is ideal to post more than this, as they sell extremely
fast!
Operations! Set Post Cap) Pattern & Plans group should be 2 or 3, This is fine for toys
(Pick 2 or 3)
Operations! Set Post Cap) Keep Post Cap at 200 (If it isn’t already, set it to 200)
Now, just like materials Create operations based off of this one operation,
duplicate it and name the new ones as follows (change post size too).
● Sell Twilight Text (1) -----> You Just did this one!
● Sell Twilight Text (20)
● Sell Twilight Text (250)
● Sell Twilight Text (5)
● Sell Twilight Text (50)
Settings up Finally, you want to Duplicate the “Sell Mount” operation and name it,
Auctioning Set Post Cap) I have this set to 5, this is ideal for Arrows, but also others!
Now, we just need to set-up ONE crafting operation, and we can attach all the
operations to our groups, ready for importing!
Setting up a Crafting Operation
(For Xmog / Gear)
Note: There is no Lockbox operation, it’s just a group to keep it
neat! (I had a load of questions about this…)
Settings up a
CRAFTING
Now, Go to “Crafting” on the Operation Page and click “Add” as shown by
the white box.
Maximum Restock Quantity) Change this to 2 (As our Xmog post cap is 2)
Price Settings) Enable this, as shown in the image. Then set the Craft Value,
“First(DBMinBuyout, DBMarket, DBRegionMinBuyoutAvg)”
You are DONE, Now time to apply these operations to our Groups! You are
nearly done with this TSM Guide!
Applying your Operations to the
Groups, to make TSM Work!
Assigning Groups Click on the group “Armor & Weapons | Enchant”
Now you know how to assign operations, I will provide a basic summary of
each group and the operations applied with screenshots for guidance!
Assigning Groups Click on the group “Armor & Weapons | Gem”
Now, Click “Group Operations” and under “Crafting”, check the box for
“override parent operations” and select the crafting operation we made earlier.
Note: If you want to add your own Auctioning operation for Crafting, feel
free to do so, but I personally feel that the normal Auctioning operation works
perfectly fine, with no extra operations needed for selling crafted stuff.
Assigning Groups
For Battle Pets, Assign the “Sell Battle Pet” to the main Group!
the Operations
Then, Under “Battle Pet | L1” assign the operation “Sell Battle Pet | L1”
Finally, under “Battle Pet | L25” assign the operation “Sell Battle Pet | L25”
the Operations ●
●
Sell Consumable (20)
Sell Consumable (15)
● Sell Consumable (10)
● Sell Consumable (5)
● Sell Consumable (1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, go to Consumables > Explosives & Devices > Non-Stakables and check
the “Override parent operations” and simply just apply the one operation
named “Sell Consumable (1)”, as shown below.
Do the same for, Consumable > Other > Non-Stackable
Also, do the same for, Consumable > Follower Equipment
Assigning Groups
For Materials, apply the following operations in THIS order to the MAIN
group!
the Operations ●
●
Sell Material (200)
Sell Material (100)
● Sell Material (20)
● Sell Material (5)
● Sell Material (1)
the Operations
● Sell Miscellaneous (15)
● Sell Miscellaneous (10)
● Sell Miscellaneous (5)
● Sell Miscellaneous (1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Operations
Lastly, go to the “Unobtainable” Group, click Group Operations and apply
the last operation, named “Sell Unobtainable”!
Finalising TSM & My Export
Operation
Management!
In each Category of the “Operations” there is a “#Default” operation.
Over the past few days, I’ve had people complaining that if they kept
#Default, it was interacting with the Groups and listing them under #Default
instead, I HIGHLY recommend that you delete the operations named
#Default
#Default to prevent this from happening!
Before Proceeding with my Export, please read the next slide for a full
explanation and then a Step by Step guide on how to use my Export!
TSM Guide
When using my Export, you essentially need to treat a File as a Sub-Group
and a .txt file as the end Group.
Final Stage
As you can see, “Armor & Weapons | Enchant” has no Sub-Groups, it’s just
one group, therefore it’s a .txt file!
However, “Armor & Weapons - Xmog & Gear” is a Group that contains
Sub-Groups, therefore it’s a file. So, if we click “Armor & Weapons | Xmog &
Gear”, we will see this (Bottom left). Now, you can see “Darkmoon Faire”,
“Looted & Quest” and also the “Vendor” Sub-Groups. As shown below!
What you’re basically doing, is matching the .txt file with the Groups in your
TSM! So, what do you do with these .txt files? (Find out on the next slide!)
TSM Guide
On Github for Export
Step 1) Locate the Correct File vs Group
Final Stage
Step 2) Click Multiple Times to Highlight all the text, Copy this text by doing
Ctrl + C
In-Game
Step 1) Locate “Import/Export”
Step 2) Ensure you’re on Import
Step 3) Locate the Correct Group for the File you’re in! (Shown in
Screenshot, it’s highlighted in yellow (in the background))
Now, do this for every group in the TSM Profile, once you’ve done this, do a
reload and YOU ARE DONE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
