DealScryer
Making gold on the Auction House has always been a game of information. The players who know which markets are healthy, which items are underpriced, and which listings are traps are the ones who walk away richer. DealScryer is a standalone Auction House scanner for World of Warcraft that was built to close that information gap, giving you a fast, readable overview of where the real flipping opportunities are hiding.
Created by Burn, DealScryer does not require TradeSkillMaster or Auctionator to function. It reads Blizzard Auction House data directly, and it can also pull in Undermine Exchange market data through Oribos Exchange for a second opinion on whether a deal is actually as good as it looks.
What DealScryer Actually Does
At its core, DealScryer is a decision-support tool. You open the Auction House, run a scan, and the addon crunches the numbers for you: profit margins, return on investment, discount versus historical pricing, and a suggested target price for each item. Everything is presented in a clean, sortable interface rather than a wall of raw numbers.
Each result gets an opportunity score from 0 to 100, color-coded with the rarity palette every WoW player already recognizes:
- White: 0 to 49
- Green: 50 to 64
- Blue: 65 to 79
- Purple: 80 to 89
- Orange: 90 to 100
- Red exclamation mark: suspicious or unscored markets
That big red warning marker is one of the addon's most useful touches. When a market looks manipulated or wildly inconsistent with its history, DealScryer flags it instead of quietly recommending a bad buy. If you have ever bought into a spike right before it collapsed, you understand why that matters.
Undermine Exchange and Oribos Exchange Integration
DealScryer can connect with Oribos Exchange to display realm and region market values, including a compact four-day trend graph. This data acts as a safety reference rather than a guarantee. When the current market diverges sharply from historical medians, DealScryer becomes more cautious about calling something a deal. Keep in mind that Undermine Exchange reflects listing-price history and market medians, not confirmed completed sales.

Version Compatibility for World of Warcraft
DealScryer is built primarily around the modern Auction House on Retail, where region-wide commodity markets and the current AH interface make scanning especially valuable. If you play on other clients, compatibility can vary, so always check the addon page for the latest supported builds across Retail, Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP before you commit to a farming routine around it.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install path for DealScryer, keeping it current with each client version so your scanner never falls behind a patch.
How to Install DealScryer
- Download DealScryer from your preferred addon source.
- Install Oribos Exchange alongside it for the extra market data.
- Place both folders in your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory.
- Launch the game and open the Auction House.
- Open DealScryer with the slash command /ds, the minimap button, or the icon inside the Auction House.
- Run a Full Scan and review the Deals, Candidates, and suspicious items.
Once the scan finishes, sort by opportunity score, filter out anything flagged with the red marker, and focus your gold on the markets that actually make sense for your server.
A Word of Caution
DealScryer is a decision-support addon, not a money printer. Auction House prices shift constantly and can be manipulated by other players, and no profit or resale price is ever guaranteed. You are responsible for every purchase and sale you make using the addon's suggestions. Treat the scores as guidance, not gospel, and double-check big purchases before committing your gold.
Final Thoughts
For players who want a lightweight, standalone way to find flips without stacking three other addons, DealScryer delivers a focused experience: fast scans, clear scoring, sensible warnings, and useful historical context through Oribos Exchange. Whether you are a casual gold-maker or a dedicated Auction House goblin, it deserves a spot in your addon folder.
