TSM 2.0

When I first got back into the game all I updated was my button bars and unit frames, ignoring my Tradeskill addons.  My first goal was to start enjoying the questing experience of Pandaria before the next expansion was released.  While I was experiencing Pandaria on my Paladin I mined a lot of Ghost ore and leveled up his Jewel crafting.  I must say I really like how Blizzard handled recipe research in Mists of Pandaria.  This felt much more natural than running daily quests to get tokens to buy patterns. 
Once I got past my initial buzz from just playing WOW again I started to think about my gold making operation.  First was to update Tradeskill Master to TSM 2.0.  Updating the addon was easy as always, but setting up the groups and actions was a bit of challenge.  TSM 2.0 is a departure from the early version, allowing for more flexibility in creating actions.  Actions define how the addon will behave, such as Auctioning actions, mailing actions, shopping actions, crafting actions.    Think of them as controlled scripts for various crafting and auctioneering based events in game.  Of course nothing is automated as that would break the T&C. 

While setting up TSM I discovered the Underground Journal was shuttering.  I used to frequent the page daily, checking my standing amongst my rivals on the server.  I also used it to look for underpriced items that I could quickly snatch up.  And most importantly I used it as an external price comparison.  I now use WOWUction for that last function.  Using the TSM application to automatically export pricing data from WOWuction has streamlined my daily posting process and sped it up dramatically.
