26:16 – Going into detail about what all of this is doing
*20/01/21 Update: I have updated the strings in the herbs/ore groups as they were using previously customised strings. If you’ve already imported them, make sure to re-import/modify the strings in the crafting operations!
This video will show you how to set up your TSM crafting for Jewelcrafting & Inscription. We’ll go over setting up proper mass mill & mass prospect values, accurate crafting costs for gems/essences/pigments, and how you can quickly tell which ore or herb to destroy to get your materials in the cheapest way. You will need to use the companion spreadsheets below:

The crafting cost section of this video was inspired by this post – Bilis Onyxia’s post on crafting values for pigments: https://www.reddit.com/r/woweconomy/comments/9bdnsz/inscription_a_way_to_value_your_bfa_pigments/

Shout out to Holyhellian for showing me the tooltip method, and Hikons for helping me test this:

I have updated the spreadsheets since making the video. I fixed up the ore group, and ensured the macros for essences only include ores that you can prospect for them.
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to let me know.

Thankyou so much for going into depth about the thinking behind everything.
I just tried this out and I want to commend you for how easy you made the whole process! My mill amounts were off by at least several hundred gold, so thanks 😀
This is so awesome
Great Video! But how do I get the essences set as a crafting material without having the recipe for it? I cant find an option to import things into the materials tab under reports.
Can something similar be done for the older herbs, to craft glyphs? Or this is not necessary for it?
thank you for the video
amazing, but i cant make my essences show at my materials tab. what it can be?
Great video, Koya! Very easy to setup with your guide and spreadsheets!
One thing that I couldn't understand is: how can I know the number of items that I need to buy to prospect/mill?
I will give you an example of what I'm doing and you can tell me if I misunderstanding something:
1 – Run Luminous Pigment Macro
2 – Compare the lowest result of the macro with the pigment in AH (in this case death blossom is the lower one)
3 – Buy X amount of death blossom and mill then
4 – Crafting process
Is that right?
I couldn't figure out how Can I determine X. Can I trust the quantity that TSM sets to me in a gathering search for example?
Liked and Subbed. Hope to see more in depth content like this in the future!
Thanks so much for the vid! I can't seem to get the mass mill profit values to show up, even after a screen refresh (and relogging). Any idea what else I could try to get it to work?
Hi there, thank you for the awesome work!
I had one question if that's okay. After following the tutorial and setting everything up as you did, TSM now thinks I'm able to craft materials for my restock operations. For example, it seems to think it can craft laestrite ore in batches of 20 based off the mass-milling price. Is there something I've missed to solve this problem?
Thanks again for the hard work, keep it up! 🙂
Hey – great video thanks for this. I followed it to a T and am getting some odd return values. It's telling me that the cheapest way to make just luminous pigment, for example, is to mass mill nightshade. It says the cost of each luminous pigment, when done this way, is 28g. I tried calculating what the luminous pigment cost (if i were to sell back all other pigments from the mill) and still ended up with a value almost twice that. So, just trying to figure out how exactly those custom mills are working and how it's getting this 28g cost for luminous pigment. Thanks again for the content!
Awesome Guide, nice Spreadsheet, Thank you very much for taking your time to share this with us.
amazing watch. honestly great work.
Hi I was wondering if there was a way to sync these custom sources with all my accounts so i don't have to manually do this every time. Thanks!
Thank you for the work you've put into this, it's really great
This is the only video I've ever commented on on Youtube. Thanks for the really helpful information.
Well done video m8. Gz on your first video really making a difference for alot of us. Even hit that follow button.. usually dont do that. But you seem like a nice guy 🙂
Ive been getting into TSM alot lately and this stuff is invaluable. I really appreciate you laying it out for some of us that need all the help we can get, lol. Ty.
Hi, thanks for the video! I didn't realize tsm was improperly handling the mass mill profits.
That being said, the macro part of the video confuses me. For inscription, I'm not sure why it makes sense to plug the dbmarket value of pigments into the mill string. It seems like the mill string only should work when you apply it to the herb itself.
If the goal of the macro is to calculate how much one should spend on herbs to obtain on average a single pigment, wouldn't the macro calculation simply be the dbmarket value of the herb divided by the pigment drop rate?
I guess I'm not sure what purpose the macro is supposed to be used for as the input into the mill string doesn't seem to make sense.
