About
Accountant is a basic tool to track your gold income and expenses within WoW. It logs running totals by mode (session, day, week, total) of how much gold you have spent and earned from vendors / loot / repair / quests etc...
The money information will be saved for each realm. Each character on each realm will be tracked. You must log in to each character before it can be shown in Accountant.
The last selected tab and character is remembered.
Now Data Broker compliant. You need a Data Broker display add-on. The Data Broker 'button' shows the same net profit / loss selected in Accountant main window. The tooltip shows net details.
Usage
Either click the minimap button or use /acc to view your accountant log.
Known issue:
1) Gold put in wrong category. [Mail instead of AH]
- Open mail from the auction house and close but do not pull the gold out.
- Open the mail again the gold will go into the Mail category not auction house (AH).
- You will also see this when using the newer Auctioneer
I found this on a recent change to BeanCounter (Auctioneer). It opens mail to get info and leaves it as 'read'. Blizzard has no way to change mail state ('read' to 'unread' for example).
If someone has read this far and knows how to get info from read mail - please message me. :-)
As always please let me know of any other issues.
(See change log for details.)
Change Log - Accountant
History:
v3.4.01:
- Removed a debug statement that was appearing in chat.
v3.4.00:
- Fixed error popping up when opening Accountant.
- Now allow gold to transfer between characters via mail instead of ignoring
v3.3:
- Fixed a typo causing the Data Broker icon to not be shown.
v3.3:
- Now has a Lib Data Broker component. If you have a Data Broker display addon
it will display the net profit/loss of the session / day / week / total tabs.
Or the Total of all characters if the 'All Chars' tab is selected.
Note: This has been tested with Titan Panel only.
- The last tab and character(s) selected are now remembered, by character, across logins.
- Net loss (negative) is shown as gold with "()" around it. This is in line with
accounting practice.
- Data Broker button tooltip gives the break down (net) into categories
- If you use the Titan Accountant addon, it will display the same value as
the Data Broker component. This is redundant - the Titan Addon should be removed.
v3.2:
- Changes to allow to run in Lich King (Beta)
v3.1:
NOTE: You MUST (re)log into each character you want see in Accountant!
There is new data saved for each character that is needed by the recent changes.
The current data is NOT lost.
- New look and feel. The older UI was too hard to change and maintain for what I needed.
- Added the ability to choose all Alliance and / or all Horde.
- Added a character pull down to see a single character. (suggested by Inwe Anwame)
3.01:
- Removed realm name from all character tab. Long realm names can wrap to the next row making the tab messy to read
3.00:
- Updates; repair category now shows correctly
Prior to 3.0:
This was updated at the request of a friend. Accountant appears to be currently unsupported so a new version was required.
(that I can glean from posted versions)
Accountant By Sabaki, Shadow, and Rophy
Accountant Continued by Quel (this was the version I started with)
Accountant Classic by Arith
And likely many others that helped this addon
Originally posted by urnati You may have found a Blizzard bug. Accountant is not in the stack trace. Accountant only notes when the auction house window is opened and closed so the money events can be put in the AH category. It does not interact with the auction house window while open.
Looking at it now I think I overlooked the fact that it shows "Auctionator" (another add-on I'm running) in the trace stack, not Accountant. Thanks!

This just popped up while browsing in the AH, and I received a notification that a buyer was found on one of my auctions and this popped up in a debugger window:

good news - it is not an error.
The lines are a debug statement I accidentally left in the release. The release has been updated (3.4.01) to remove them.
I was trying to figure out a Blizzard 'feature' to better handle auction house mail.
I do not see the errors you are getting. Would you please send me more details?
Is it always when you use /acc or click a certain button? Or when you perform a certain action? Are you using an LDB (Lib Data Broker) display addon?
I have tried hard to minimize interactions with other addons but I could have missed something.
The way the old display was implemented was hard to maintain and modify so I did change the layout while staying to the spirit of the older versions.
I do not remember changing revenue / expense from the one I took over. There were at least 3 versions at the time. None of them had been changed in a long time. Sadly I no longer have the original to compare to. Sorry if it is more confusing.
Please feel free to send me a message via my profile.
Thank you for your patience. An updated Accountant is available to fix the error.
It took longer to fix then I like because it took several days to get the latest patch on my system successfully.
I have not been able to install the patch because of a hardware issue. I will look into this when I can. In case I can not reproduce would you please post or message me with any details you have.
Thanks
