Examples

• dbmarket * 0.9 (90% of market value)
• max(dbminbuyout, 100g) (at least 100g)
• min(dbmarket, 250g) (cap at 250g)
• ifgt(dbminbuyout, 200g, dbminbuyout, dbmarket) (prefer min buyout if above 200g)

Notes:

• Sources return values only when their module has data (for example, no AuctionDB scan means empty values).
• Use DBMarket for stable pricing and DBMinBuyout for recent lows.

Testing

There is no automated test framework. Validate changes in-game by:

1. Logging in / reloading to verify module initialization.
2. Exercising the relevant UI workflows.
