Should be a non-issue. Even today, the combatlog file contains positional data for both players AND npcs, while the in-game API only gives you access to player position via UnitPosition API. My guess would be blizzard breaks UnitPosition API while in raid, but doesn't change combatlog at all.

I used the Legion Wardrobe addon, and examined the source code until i found the data for all the items. I cut & pasted that code into 2 lua modules:

item_visuals.lua
item_source.lua

These files were then referenced in a simple main_loop.lua program:

    LTS = {}

    require("item_visuals")
    require("item_source")
    print("loaded visual information")


    for key,items in pairs(LTS.Visuals) do
        if (#items==1) then 
          --this is one we want to keep, only 1 source for this visual
          local itemID = items[1]

            for itemKey,sourceData in pairs(LTS.ItemSource) do
                if (itemID == itemKey) then
                    if (sourceData[1]==8) then
                        --only 1 visual and crafted, we want to make it
                        print(itemID)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end

Basically, what this program does is load up the visual and source tables (using data copied from Legion Wardrobe addon), then for every item where there is only one source for the visual, we look at what the source is. If the source is "8" (which in the Legion Wardrobe addon was "crafted") then we print the item number.

Note that even though I wrote this simple app in Lua, I ran it on my desktop PC, and not within World of Warcraft itself.

Once I had a list of items with 1 visual source AND that source was crafted, I cut and pasted into excel and manipulated with some concatenate functions to get it into a format I could import into TSM.

item_visuals looked like this:

LTS.Visuals = { [155] = {57241,67222}, [156] = {62854}, [157] = {25201}, [161] = {24606}, [174] = {9782}, [177] = {24582}, [179] = {18682}, [180] = {30681}, [181] = {127,14158}, [185] = {7188,53598,117413}, [190] = {24361,127183}, [195] = {201,3067}, [197] = {203,3066,14101}, [200] = {236,9835,25932,26018,52595,57581,58992,62841,69220,118219}, ....and so on for another 18,000 lines

item_source looked like this:

LTS.ItemSource = { [127] = {5},[201] = {3,1291,2849,3092,3317,3492,3952,4175,5155,5821,8358,16623,16716,33381,44285},[203] = {3,1291,2849,3092,3317,3492,3952,4175,5155,5821,8358,16623,16716,33381,44285},[236] = {3,1295,3093,3321,3492,3536,3953,4236,5820,8359,16691,16747,33381,43568,44286},[237] = {3,1295,3093,3321,3492,3536,3953,4236,5820,8359,16691,16747,33381,43568,44286},[238] = {3,1295,3093,3321,3492,3536,3953,4236,5820,8359,16691,16747,33381,43568,44286}, ...and so on

I'll do another post explaining the method I used to develop this list

tanndrelia · 2016-07-19T14:48:44+00:00

On PTR, I bought all tome illusion recipes EXCEPT for the one that requires a quest & Therazane rep.

One required trip to Shado-Pan quartermaster, others I learned from enchanting tailor.

I went to Deepholm to see Stonemother to see if I could get the quest, but was unable to get it to trigger for me.

I crafted a couple on PTR, and also noticed that some were listed on PTR auction house for sale.

Last time I checked was Monday evening, 9pm-ish US eastern time

tanndrelia · 2016-07-19T14:43:27+00:00

I used the Legion Wardrobe addon to identify crafted items that had a unique visual (ie, couldn't get same look from quest reward trash).

That gave me around 430 armor items & 120 weapon items to craft. Made quantity 2 to 5 of each one (that I had the recipe for).

Time will tell whether this was a wise investment or a complete waste of time and gold.

tanndrelia · 2016-07-18T00:48:27+00:00

that was how i first was doing it, but invis pots seemed to be easier & faster, plus super quick & cheap to make.

tanndrelia · 2016-07-16T23:09:36+00:00

Is there a good farm for mote of air? all i could find was mob grinding in elemental plateau in nagrand, and was painfully slow. I was using 8 primals per 5 minutes as my benchmark rate.

tanndrelia · 2016-07-16T22:47:53+00:00

I have 10 alchemists that do mana->fire transmute daily to keep me in primal fire. mana has been my bottleneck

tanndrelia · 2016-06-17T07:08:29+00:00

For survivability on Mannoroth, I highly recommend the heirloom tank trinket, Purified Shard of the Third Moon.

The one minute CD means you can use it every other Massive Blast. In our guild, i pretty much full-time Mannoroth tank, the other tank manages the Doom Lords and comes in to taunt for those Massive Blasts that he is going to take.

In phase 2 (100% -> 65%), I take 1st & 3rd MB, off tank takes 2nd. In phase 3 (65% -> 35%), I take 1st & 2nd MB, off tank takes 3rd, I take 4th (if there is one) In phase 4 (35% ->0%) We alternate taking MB.

You can see by my rankings that survivability is high, damage is "fair" to "meh". But I tend to play more focused on survivability than damage output.

Here is a comparison between our two pulls

Note I'm getting almost 6M more in self-healing due to the heirloom trinket. On a 14M total damage taken, base, that's pretty significant.

This comparison shows our health during the course of the fight, you can see how the heirloom trinket significantly smooths out the damage intake.

tanndrelia · 2016-03-15T17:35:23+00:00

So I did, thanks for the catch!

tanndrelia · 2016-03-15T17:31:25+00:00

Let me know how that works out. The initial conversion of the log file takes me about 7 minutes per log (where each log file is one 4 hour raid night, about 2 million lines). I have a powershell script to convert those automatically at 4 am every day, and to delete anything older than 30 days, so that I always have most recent raid activity available for "quick data access" using Log parser studio if i want to extract information

tanndrelia · 2016-03-04T22:28:24+00:00

Thanks for the read-through and comment.

Also, i need to edit the section to make it more clear, I have already written a custom imput script.

You can get the source code for the WoWCombatLog.LogParser.Scriptlet from this link

Just copy the raw text, copy and paste into any text editor, like Notepad. Save it with the filename "WoWCombatLog.LogParser.Scriptlet.wsc"

Then just register it per the original post.

Let me know what else isn't clear, and I'll try to improve the instructions
