TradeSkillMaster_TDAutoVendoring
Managing a cluttered inventory in World of Warcraft can quickly eat into your playtime. Whether you are running legacy raids, farming old dungeons, or simply clearing your bags after a questing session, the constant need to manually sell grey items and low-value gear is a chore. TradeSkillMaster_TDAutoVendoring is a lightweight, powerful addon that automates this process, letting you focus on the fun parts of the game. Built on the robust TradeSkillMaster API, it intelligently decides what to vendor, disenchant, or even mail to your auction house alt, all with a single macro press.
How TradeSkillMaster_TDAutoVendoring Works
At its core, this addon is a smart vendoring assistant. It scans your bags and sells items that are junk (quality 0) or green/blue gear that falls below a certain item level and market value threshold. The magic lies in its integration with TradeSkillMaster’s pricing data, so it knows the real auction house value of an item before deciding to vendor it. You no longer risk selling a transmog piece worth thousands of gold to a vendor for a handful of silver. The addon also handles disenchanting, opening soulbound containers, and mailing auctionable items to a designated alt, making it a complete inventory management suite.
Key Features and Customization
TradeSkillMaster_TDAutoVendoring is not a one-size-fits-all tool. It offers a range of options you can tweak via simple macro commands to match your playstyle and server economy.
Smart Vendoring
The main vendoring function uses a macro like /run TDAutoVendor(). You can adjust parameters such as maxValue (maximum item value in copper to vendor, default 500g), maxIlvl (default 630), and priceSource (default 'DBGlobalSaleAvg'). A debug mode lets you preview what would be sold without actually vendoring anything, so you can test safely. This is perfect for players who want to ensure their rare drops are protected.
Disenchanting for Enchanters
If your character has the Enchanting profession, the addon can automatically disenchant items that are more valuable as materials than as vendor trash. Using the /click TDDisButton macro, you set a valueDiff (minimum price difference between vendor and disenchant value) to control what gets disenchanted. This feature alone can significantly increase your material stockpile without any extra effort.
Auto-Opening Containers
Many expansions introduce soulbound containers like Runic Pouches, Cache of Highmaul Treasures, or Baleful gear tokens. The addon can open these in bulk with the /click TDOpenButton macro. You can even add custom item IDs to the open list, making it adaptable to any content you farm. This is a huge time-saver when processing hundreds of containers from old raids.
Mailing to Auction House Alt
For items that are not soulbound and can be sold on the auction house, the TDAutoAH() function sends them directly to your designated bank alt. You simply specify the alt’s name and an optional exclude list. This keeps your main character’s bags clean and your gold-making pipeline flowing smoothly.
Installation and Setup
To get started, you first need to install TradeSkillMaster and its desktop application to ensure up-to-date pricing data. Once TSM is working and you see auction house prices on item tooltips, you can download TradeSkillMaster_TDAutoVendoring from your preferred addon source. The addon is not a standalone TSM module but a small library that hooks into the TSM API, so it requires no additional configuration inside TSM itself. After placing the addon folder in your WoW Interface/AddOns directory, simply create the macros described above and bind them to your action bars. For players who prefer a streamlined experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for TradeSkillMaster_TDAutoVendoring, automatically placing it in the correct folder and keeping it updated across all your World of Warcraft clients. The launcher’s addon catalog also ensures version compatibility, so you never have to hunt down fixes after a game patch.
Supported World of Warcraft Versions
TradeSkillMaster_TDAutoVendoring for World of Warcraft is designed to work across multiple game versions. It supports Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade Classic, Wrath of the Lich King Classic, Cataclysm Classic, and Mists of Pandaria Remix. Because it relies on the TradeSkillMaster API, as long as TSM is updated for your chosen expansion, this addon will function seamlessly. The macro-based approach means it does not depend on expansion-specific UI changes, making it one of the most versatile inventory tools available. Whether you are farming transmog in Retail or grinding dungeons in WotLK Classic, the addon adapts to the itemization and economy of that era.
