Once you have set up the custom price source, do a quick /reloadĪfter the reload, you can set up the actual sniper operation. Then TSM will be even more pessimistic when valuing items. You could even go a step further and add DBMarket and/or even DBMinBuyout to the string. This way TSM will hopefully not overvalue items. This will essentially compare DBHistorical, DBRegionMarketAvg and DBRegionHistorical and then use which ever of these price sources valued the item the lowest to assess the value of an item. Then click into the right column and copy this as the Custom Price Source value and then hit enter: max(min(DBHistorical, DBRegionMarketAvg, DBRegionHistorical), VendorSell) Change its name from 'custompricea' to 'minprice' and hit enter. Under TSM -> Settings -> Custom Sources, add a new custom price source. So as a first step, you'll need to add that price source: She showcases my 'old' string but also does a fantastic job of explaining how sniping works in TSM4 in general:įirst of all, both versions of my sniper string reference a custom price source named 'minprice'. I'd also highly recommend to watch Sheyrah's video on this topic. Any auction that that gets listed below your maximum auction price will then be presented to you, so you can buy it right away. Once you have started a Buyout Sniper scan, TSM will continuously check the last page of the auctionhouse that contains the 1-50 most recently posted auctions, and it will compare the buyout price of each auction to the maximum auction price you defined in the options of your sniper operation(s).

In TSM4 you simply open the auctionhouse, switch to the Shopping tab and then click the 'Run Buyout Sniper' button.

The term sniping refers to the act of monitoring what items get posted to the AH, as they get posted, to quickly buy auctions that get posted way too cheap. You can also find the new sniper string as well as some of my other work on my pastebin: In Today's post I'd like to share a new version of my sniper string and demonstrate how easy the string can be modified to better fit your personal preferences.

Over the years I have made some alterations to the sniper string to reflect changes int he economy as well as to make use of the new value sources that were added with TSM4. For those of you that don't know me: Several years ago I created a sniper string for TSM that has become quite popular thanks to youtubers like Sheyrah and others who have showcased it in their TSM sniper guides. Some of you might already be familiar with me and my work.
