Despite the repository name, aux currently has no hard ClassicAPI dependency. ShaguTweaks remains optional and is only used as a vendor-value fallback when available.

🔌 Requirements

World of Warcraft 1.12.1 / Turtle WoW
Do not load another copy of aux at the same time
ShaguTweaks — optional

📦 Installation

Download or clone the repository.
Rename the addon folder to aux-addon.
Copy it to:

World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\aux-addon

Restart the game.

The folder name must be aux-addon so it matches aux-addon.toc.

✨ Main changes

This fork keeps aux's original behaviour and focuses on targeted low-risk improvements:

Bounded WDB item-cache scanning to avoid large synchronous warm-cache bursts.
Merchant bag-value refresh changed from permanent polling to one-shot deferred updates.
Reduced listener and scheduler bookkeeping overhead.
Daily Auction House minimum cache to avoid repeated SavedVariables parsing.
Reduced allocations in historical-value calculations.
Search, Auctions and Bids validation throttled to 10 Hz instead of every frame.
Post-tab heavy UI work only runs when something actually changes.
Autopricing reuses historical, vendor-charge and disenchant calculations.
Reduced tooltip scans and temporary table creation.
Auction-listing rendering stops once all visible rows are filled.
Selection lookup returns immediately once the selected auction is found.
LFT price-sharing handler rejects unrelated traffic earlier and reuses cached daily minimums.
Disenchant tooltip calculations are skipped when both disenchant tooltip options are disabled.

aux keeps the native Auction House query flow and waits for CanSendAuctionQuery() before requesting the next page. Optional client-side tools such as AuctionQueryThrottle can reduce the vanilla 5-second client-side query delay on compatible servers. Server-side rate limits still apply. Embedded ChatThrottleLib remains unchanged for safe LFT price sharing.

📊 Price History

aux stores market information using two separate values:

Today — the lowest unit buyout known for the current day
Value — the long-term historical reference calculated from daily values

The daily minimum can come from your own Auction House scans or from compatible AuxData messages received through LFT when sharing is enabled.

At daily rollover, the minimum becomes a historical data point. aux keeps up to 11 daily values and calculates an age-weighted median to keep the result stable without allowing repeated same-day scans to dominate the history.

Enable both tooltip values with:

/aux tooltip value
/aux tooltip daily

Price sharing is enabled by default.

Toggle it with:

/aux sharing

Messages use the format:

AuxData,<item_key>,<unit_buyout_price>

Only a lower daily minimum is stored. Searches of 15 pages or more are not broadcast to reduce LFT channel traffic.

🎨 Themes

aux includes two interface styles:

Blizzard — default Blizzard-like theme

⚙️ Compatibility

World of Warcraft 1.12.1
Turtle WoW-style Auction House behaviour
Turtle WoW custom-item cache / autocompletion support
Optional ShaguTweaks vendor-value fallback
Optional AuctionQueryThrottle support for faster client-side paging on compatible servers
Existing aux SavedVariables format preserved
Existing LFT AuxData message format preserved

⚠️ Notes

aux follows the normal CanSendAuctionQuery() flow. AuctionQueryThrottle can remove the vanilla client-side 5-second floor on compatible servers, but server-side throttles still apply.
Today is the lowest price seen today, not simply the most recently scanned listing.
Turtle WoW deposit costs can differ from the locally displayed estimate.
ChatThrottleLib is kept intact for safe chat-rate handling.
