Official APIs provide account items and Trading Post prices. The addon only organizes the data and makes recommendations; it does not read unstable game memory. English is the safe default, and Traditional Chinese is available only when the current Nexus font actually includes CJK glyphs.

01

Scan the whole account

Cover the account bank, shared inventory, every character's bags, and currently equipped items. Location groups characters and storage areas while keeping the active decision value highest first inside each group.

02

Compare three prices

See Instant sell, the lowest Listing, and Net listing after the 15% Trading Post fee side by side.

03

Avoid costly mistakes

Clearly mark unsalvageable items, upgrades without Trading Post prices, and infusions. Legendary equipment receives a Never salvage safety warning.

04

Keep the key local

The API key is encrypted with Windows DPAPI, and requests are sent only to ArenaNet's official API.

Decision Pipeline

Use Black Lion only
when the value earns it.

Set your own threshold and choose whether recommendations use Instant sell or Net listing. The addon provides information and guidance; the final salvage decision remains yours.
