Info

TradeSkillMaster Sniper allows for 'sniping' items from the Auction House as quickly as possible. A Sniper Operations functionality is different for Retail and Classic WoW.

In Retail, Sniper Operations are essentially Shopping Operations but the search is repeated until stopped. There is a 30 second delay between each search.

In Classic, Sniper Operations will repeatedly search the last page of the Auction House until stopped. The last page of the Auction House contains items that have just been posted.

More information on the difference between Retail and Classic Auction House can be found on our blog post from patch 8.3.


In the General Options section, the primary sniper option is available:

  • Maximum price. The maximum price of an auction to be included in the sniper results. This field accepts custom strings.
    • The default maximum price is a custom string that is explained in detail here: Coming SoonTM.

In the Management Options section, there are two mechanisms available to ignore the Operation:

  • Ignore operation on faction-realms. When using the same Profile on multiple realms and factions, adding a realm or faction from this drop down will prevent TSM from running this Operation on the chosen faction or realm.
  • Ignore operation on characters. When using the same Profile on multiple characters on the same faction and realm, adding a character from this drop down will prevent TSM from running this Operation on the chosen character(s).

In the Group Management section, you can add the operation to available Groups, or remove the operation from any Groups that it is already applied to.

Clicking the Group tree 'hierarchy' icon (1) beside any Group name listed in the Group Management section will navigate you to that Group in the Groups tab of the TSM window.

Note

Sniper Operation does not function on the Base Group in Retail. Sniper Operation DOES function on the Base Group in Classic.

At the top of the Operation settings, an option to Rename and Reset the Operation is available.

  • Rename will highlight the name of the Operation and allow for editing.

  • Reset will offer a prompt to confirm resetting all fields and values to default.
