ESO Master Merchant Tutorial: Pulling Data

How to Manually Pull Guild History / Sales Data for Master Merchant / LibHistorie

WHAT HAPPENED: 
In 2019, ZOS severely limited how quickly addons like MM can pull data from the Guild History.
Lemme put it this way:  unless you’re strapped into your workstation with your Heavy Duty Gaming Diaper snugly equipped and playing ESO around the clock, you probably aren’t getting 100% of the sales data from your guild(s), especially if you are in high volume trading guild(s).

This guide will cover how to keep your Guild History data updated plus tricks to load in all data for the first time or after a long absence.

MANUALLY PULLING GUILD HISTORY DATA

TO LOAD DATA:

  • Press “G” to open the Guild Window
  • Choose a Guild (top left of Guild Window)
    Pro tips:  You can also change guilds using your 1-5 keys, or change guilds or categories by clicking on them in the LibHistorie window.
  • Start by clicking the “Roster” category.
  • If the bar is not green, click the right arrow until you see a “Loading” message. Once the “loading message” goes away, repeat this process, pausing on each loading batch.   Continue to click and load batches until the bar turns green.  You’ll also need to click “Show More” whenever it appears at the bottom right.
  • Repeat this process for each category from Roster to Alliance War
  • Repeat the above steps for each guild you’d like to update data for.  Most go pretty quick except for trader history.  The longer it’s been since you last updated, the longer it will take to click through and load history.  The game holds 30 days of Trader History, which can mean hundreds of pages to load in if it’s been a long time.

WARNING:
Pressing the “Load More” or arrow keys too frequently could result in you getting booted for spamming and you having to start all over again.

Your goal is to get all boxes on the left green!

Once you all your boxes are green, relog, reloadUI or port to a different place to ensure that the data files have been saved to your local machine.

 

TIPS & TRICKS

How Often You Should Manually Pull Data:
I’d recommend manually updating your history the first time you log in for the day.  If you’re doing this daily / a few times a week, it is quick and easy to to.

For fresh installs:
You may find it helpful to temporarily turn off all addons, pull in all of the guild history data from the Guild History screen and *then* turn your addons back on and let Libhistorie/MM suck all the data in at once.

Lost Data:
Even if you religiously update your Libhistorie and keep the bars green, data can still get lost occassionally.  This probably won’t have a big impact on pricing data, but it could affect your personal sales totals and Guild sales totals.  If you feel you are missing data, go to:

Settings > Addons > LibGuildStore and click the button to “Refresh Libhistorie”.
The system will scan for missing info and then do a reloadUI automatically to update.
Caution:  Do NOT confuse this with the RED “Delete cache” button in the Libhistorie addon settings.  That’s a very different function!

The only real way to know if you’re missing data is to compare notes with other guildies that say well-updated (GMs tend to stay very updated).  I compare notes with another Trade Guild GM.  Consider the “higher” number the right one.  So, if my numbers are lower than theirs, I run the refresh to try to catch up.

It can also take running that Refresh process several times (and logging out in between runs) to get it to actually grab all the missing data.
