Installing the program is a multi-step process. Every time you /reload or log into a character, the most recent scan will be loaded into TSM. The feature we're interested in is its ability to query Blizzard every hour for Auction House information. The TradeSkillMaster application is something that you install on your PC that does a lot of things. Luckily, there's a way you can get up to date price information without ever having to scan the AH again. Even if the scans work perfectly on your realm, scanning is still an extra step that you have to do every time you want to update the prices before you queue up your crafting list.

In essence, the GetAll scan that's used to grab a dump of the AH in a few seconds can be incomplete if there are a lot of auctions.Īs far as I know, the traditional scans are immune to this, but they take a lot more time like 20 minutes instead of 20 seconds. Have you ever scanned the Auction House with TradeSkillMaster (the best auction management addon, well worth the trouble of learning) and not gotten a complete scan? Maybe you see an error message and your crafting window starts displaying unknown materials prices, even though you can see the prices right front of you when you search? This is a bug that affects anyone on a realm with a lot of auctions (more than 42554, according to the TSM error message).
