Auction House DataBase (AHDB) - WoW Forever edition
AHDB scans the whole auction house, keeps a price history per item that you can see as a graph (Alt-click any item),shows vendor and AH prices in item tooltips and warns you before you list something for less than a vendor would pay.Your characters on other accounts can share their prices, and one parked at the AH can look up current prices for you.Anyone in your guild or group can ask for a price with !ahdb <item> in chat.
The Classic / Mists / retail versions (and their MoLib based code) are on thelegacy branch.
Price history graph
Alt-click any item (bags, bank, chat links, AH lists, merchant...) or use /ahdb price <item> (or/ahdb graph <item> for just the window; a link, itemID, name or part of a name like wool cloth) to see its pricehistory, even away from the AH:

- Each bar goes from the lowest to the median unit price: per scan for the recent scans (side by side, a line marks thehours without scans), per day for the last 30 or 180 days. Hover for the values.
- The quantity listed is under the graph, the vendor price is the green line.
- 7 and 30 day median prices and the lowest price seen, for each auction house (Alliance, Horde, Neutral).
- Drag the bottom right corner to make the window bigger, it keeps its size and place.
- Each auction house's last 30 scans are kept (whole days, up to 7 days), then one summary per day for 180 days, so thesaved data stays small even when scanning every 15 minutes.
Sharing prices between your accounts
Saved data is per WoW account. To use the prices one account scanned on another one's characters (e.g. onecharacter parked at the AH, another one out in the world):
/ahdb trust <First Last>(or target the character and/ahdb trust) on both sides, then:- Item tooltips tell when an online trusted character has newer prices ("AH price 3h old, Alt: ask Wa"): hold Altto get them. The price window gets them by itself. They're added to your price history.
- Live button of the price window (or
/ahdb live <item>): a trusted character at an open AH searches the itemright now (fresher than its last scan) and sends its current min / median price and quantity listed; bothcharacters show it in chat and add it to their price history. - Only between characters of the same faction (whispers don't cross factions): each faction has its own trustedcharacters.
/ahdb trustlists who's trusted and online. - Out of the game, ahdbmergemerges the price history of all the accounts of a WoW install, and keeps it in sync between your computers.
What does it do?
- Opening the auction house starts a full scan (Blizzard allows one every 15 minutes per game session; hold Shift toskip it). The "AHDB Scan" button above the AH shows when the next scan is possible. Away from the AH, a chatmessage tells when it's possible again, and the minimap button's tooltip (or
/ahdb next) shows the time left(right-click the button for the options, drag it to move it). - Prices are kept separately for the Alliance, Horde and neutral (goblin) auction houses.
- Item tooltips show the vendor price per unit (the game's own line is for the whole stack) and the last scan'sAH min and median price, how many are listed, and the 30 day min - median. Also installBVP(BetterVendorPrice) for full stack and stack size vendor prices: BVP then shows the vendor lines and AHDB the AHones, no duplicates.
- On the AH sell page, the price turns red with a warning when, after the AH cut, you'd get less than a vendor pays.
- Items vendors refuse even though they have a sell price are learned and get no vendor price (
/ahdb unsellable). - Price history graph of any item: Alt-click it or
/ahdb price <item>(see above). - Prices shared with your characters on other accounts, and live AH prices from one parked at the AH (see above).
!ahdb <item>(link, itemID or name) in guild, party or raid chat, from anyone: AHDB answers there with the item'slast AH prices, its 30 day min - median and its vendor price (AHDB users see it with colors and coins). With severalAHDB users around, one answers: the one with the most recent scan.Part of a name (!ahdb cloth) gets the list of the matching items to pick from. When nobody has a price, the onewith the most recent scan says so.- Optionally ("Record full scans" in the options) it also keeps every auction of the last scans, whichAHDBapp can load into a database for your own analysis of the economy.
/ahdb bugshows a copyable log for bug reports./ahdblists all commands.
