Auction Tracker Updating
For someone not familiar with the process, how does the auction tracker get updated for each item in the wiki?

I believe it simply parses log files

The auction tracker was for BLUE and even that was outdated a bit and missing some things. There is not an auction tracker for Green or Teal, but you could make one if you have the skills and time to dig into it.

here are the resources i have been using. they aren't perfect but have been useful for me in determining prices. actual prices on teal have generally been higher than the averages shown on the unixgeek site (maybe because it combines wtb and wts?). anyway, its not much data to work with but it helps. kudos to the creators.

This is all great, but the correct answer to:
Quote:
http://wiki.project1999.com/Special:AuctionTracker (Log files can be found by character name in the Logs folder of your EverQuest directory.) The wiki will then look at people's "WTS" messages in those logs, and add pricing entries to its database based on them. The more people upload logs, the better/more accurate the pricing info will get ... although it will always be a little more skewed towards sellers, as it goes by the WTS price and not the final sale price.

Thanks for the feedback. This validates my initial thoughts.

It's not perfect, and people put in non-standard lines in weird formats with extraneous numeric data. With teal/green being up a while now, I can start culling out the stuff that's just wildly outside the "normal" ranges for an item.

It's with these contributions that the auction prices get updated on the wiki.
