About Prospect Me
Prospect Me is a simple and lightweight addon that gathers and stores the statistical results of a user's prospecting and milling results and displays that info inside a tooltip. The addon is designed to complement the use of addons like Tekkub's Panda although it is fully functional on it's own. Prospect Me uses ItemID's to gather, store, and display results and so should be functional with any localization.
Most importantly - if a player has an auction addon installed (Auctionator, Auctioneer, etc - adding more soon!), Prospect Me will gather item values and display the current prospect/mill cost and expected average return. Prospect/Milling cost is determined by Orb/Herb cost per unit x5; Average Return is determined by aggregating the % chance of receiving any particular result and the current value of those items.
Of note: Prospect Me does NOT use a database (like Wowhead) to project results - it is based on your individual returns. I did this because to me, it's more interesting to see what my results were rather than a hypothetical. Because of this you will need to use prospecting or milling on an item before you see any results!
The 2.0 "Wishlist":
Add Database Browser
Create Prospect Button
Add User Configurable values
Add Disenchant support?!?!
v1.2.0
New - Reset the Database! Prospect Me now supports the ability to reset your results database without having to mess with your saved variables. Use "/pm reset" to reset the database or access it from the configuration GUI.
New - Per Session Statistics Prospect me will display per-session statistics when you hold the alt key. Per-session statistics are reset when you log out.
Updated the Add On for World of Warcraft client v5.0.4
v1.0.0
Version 1.0, woooot!
Fixed - Updated Toc to interface version 4.3
New - Configuration settings! Prospect Me will now let you configure what sort of detailed information is displayed in the tooltip. Open blizzards addon frame for a GUI or use /prospectme to configure.
New - Localization support. Just English for now, but if anyone wishes to contribute localization, the variables are available - see localization.lua in the Prospect Me folder.
Improved - Condensed the default tooltip to make it more space efficient.
Improved - Prospect me now shows you the estimated profit from milling/prospecting (Thanks KippG for the suggestion and code!)
v0.7.2
Long overdue maintenance release for client version 4.2: no longer "out of date" yay!
v0.7.1
Fixed - Prospect Me should now work properly with Enchantrix and any other addon that hooks the secure function "SpellTargetItem"
Fixed - Prospect Me should no longer spew any errors if your auction database is LoadOnDemand and not currently loaded.
Improved - Cleaned up and commented some more of my code.
v0.7.0
Improved - Prospect Me now has improved handling of some auction addons and will automagically support any auction addon now or in the future that uses Tekkub's standardized GetAuctionBuyout(); this is in addition to the auction addons already supported.
Fixed - fixed a bug with AuctionLite; AuctionLite's database should now be read correctly.
v0.6.1
Fixed - Prospect Me should no longer care about case-sensitivity in macros and will now treat "/cast prospecting" the same as "/cast Prospecting" the same as "/cast PrOSPectINg", etc.
v0.6.0
New - Prospect Me will now identify an item class and display the proper skill text in the tooltip: "Times Milled" vs "Times Prospected", etc
Improved - For items that have <10% chance of being prospected/milled, Prospect Me now displays the % rounded to one decimal place: "4.3%" vs "4%".
Improved - some minor improvements to code readability and optimizations.
Note - The change to % display has no effect on "Average Return" since that number has always been calculated without rounding!
v0.5.1
First Beta release of Prospect Me. Everything seems to be pretty stable - please report any odd behavior!
v0.5.0
First public release of Prospect Me

hey you addon has a small flaw....
when i am disenchanting items in my bag. the items i have crafted from jc necless and rings... anyways when i make mass of these and de them all the add on disenchantys the rings and necless that i am wearing. wtf i lot all my enchants on them items, please fix this or your add on is worthless to me.
again when de items in my bags (green items) when i get good drop it de`s my neckess and rings that i am wearing that r (blue items.) please fix this.
Hi Edwardrubio,
I can't see how this could be caused by Prospect Me. The addon does not interact with Disenchanting nor does it actually create any interactions with objects (it passively monitors for the player to cast prospecting and milling skills and then reads the results container).
You may wish to check your other addons (or any macros) you may be using. Without knowing what addons you are running it is impossible for me to suggest what may be the culprit (it could be something like Enchantrix, Panda, Trade Skill Master Enchanting, etc).
Good Luck!
Is there a way to exclude things like Sparkling Shard / minor gems from price calculations? Or just set them to vendor price? They're throwing my prices off by quite alot.
Also is the profit calculated? Where does it pull data from?
e/ I know you can choose to display certain quality items but this doesnt affect the price calculation because Sparkling Shard are a stupid price (cause no one buys them) it's saying I earn 500g per prospect...?
Hey br3tthadk3y,
There is currently no way to exclude specific items from being recorded or modify the price internally (although you can hide them from the tooltip).
The way prices are calculated is by first looking for an Auction DB (Auctioneer, Auctionator, etc) and then either using the AH price from that addon (if found) or the vendor price, whichcever is higher.
I am working on including a browseable database for a future release which will allow for editing of prices, but this is still a long ways off (pre-pre-alpha state right now
)
Depending on what AH addon you are using, you may be able to override the price stored in their database (I believe Auctioneer supports this, not sure about some of the others), in which case Prospect Me should show the modified value.
For your wishlist 2.0 -> It's already awesome in what it does but make it awesomer!!
The trick will be adding featires while maintaining usability and keeping the addon from getting bloated. :)
Those are my core tenants, The addon works (optinally) with zero-config and to has a minimal footprint.
So far, so good - we'll see how it goes as I continue to work on some of these new concepts :D
First of all, let me congratulate you as this is an excellent addon!!! I've been thinking about coding something like this myself, but stumbled upon this and it works flawlessly.
One suggestion, though. Can you add means to adjust prices on ore/gems manually instead of pulling them from auctioneer? Personally I don't bother with gems other than ruby/carnelian and AH prices on ore vary a lot to be reliable.

I've got a "wishlist" of features for v2 and I'll add this.
I can't promise it'll make it in, but we'll see :)
Does this prospect ore with a single button?
I have it directly opposite, im not playing games, im playing auction house, so silly inaccurate numbers are bullshit to me. Can you implement the option to display the correct numbers?
Wow Sintrix, that is an extremely rude thing to say and your a fool to think numbers from Prospect Me are inaccurate. Quite the opposite... they are more accurate because they are your numbers... not someone elses. I imagine your a fool for more than this comment. Just move on to another addon that will not provide accurate result for your prospecting... please.
Prospect Me works wonderfully. I use it everyday and it has been extremely usefull. Thanks Vynn for an awesome addon.
They're neither "silly inaccurate numbers" nor are they incorrect, they're just from your own database rather than someone elses. Prospect Me is a dynamic tool and it works quite well with a sample size of <50 total prospects.
Part of the reason for Prospect Me's dynamic nature is the addon will function for all future expansions without needing an update. New Expansion, New Ore? Just prospect a stack or two and Prospect Me will start giving you results - no wait, no fuss, no updates required.
If you'd like a static tool, there are several other addons and excel spreadsheets out there that work and I'd recommend you maybe give one of those a shot - it may be better suited to your needs.
Otherwise, give Prospect Me a try and see how you like it.
Can you also include disenchanting?
Br
Kaktus
The major issue is that there are like 20 different suffixes that items can have each of which would get stored individually in my database (Greatstaff of the bear != Greatstaff of the wolf) even though they have the same disenchanting probabilities and are really the same item. Once you factor the naming issue in, getting the auction values for all of the variations on named items could be complex.
Anyway, not saying it isn't possible, but there are a lot of things I'd like to accomplish with this first.
Hi Kaktus1911,
I use Auctonator which you can find here on Curse. It functions similarly to Auctioneer but it's a little more light weight and simpler to use (although not quite as full featured). Auctionator supports better bid/buy/sell functionality, saved searches, disenchanting information (values/outcomes) and stores pricing data for use by other addons (Prospect Me will even get it's pricing data from Auctionator if you have it installed).
There are other addons with the functionality as well, but that's the one I can speak for personally :)
