Market Browser window showing the item list with seller and buyer counts, a Favorites pane and an item details pane with active sell orders

The Market Browser is a docked window that streams live buy/sell listings from gwmarket.net over a websocket connection, so you can search for items, compare prices across currencies, and whisper sellers without alt-tabbing out of Guild Wars.

It’s a read-only view of the gwmarket.net order book today — posting your own orders happens on the website (the in-game “My Shop” panel exists in source but is gated behind a build flag).

A status row at the top of the window shows the connection state:

  • Connected (green) — receiving live updates.
  • Connecting… (yellow) — handshake in progress.
  • Disconnected (red) — websocket dropped; click Refresh to try again.

Three radio buttons filter the item list by order direction:

  • All — show every item with active orders.
  • WTS — show only items with active sell orders (Want to Sell).
  • WTB — show only items with active buy orders (Want to Buy).

A Search box just below the filters narrows the item list by name. Matching is substring-based, case-insensitive.

Layout

The body is split into three panes:

  • Item list (top-left) — every item with active listings, with badges showing how many buyers and sellers are quoting it. Click an item to load its order book in the details pane.
  • Favorites (bottom-left) — items you’ve starred. Persisted to GWToolbox.ini under [Market Browser] so they survive restarts.
  • Item details (right) — the order book for whichever item you’ve selected.

A small footer button reads “Powered by gwmarket.net” — clicking it opens the site in your browser via the Toolbox URL handler.

Item details pane

When you click an item, the right pane fills with:

  • A header showing the item name plus two dropdowns:
    • Sort mode — Most Recent (newest orders first) or Currency (cheapest first).
    • View currency — show All currencies, or filter to one of Plat, Ecto, Zkeys, Arms.
  • A ★ Favorite / Unfavorite button to toggle the item in your Favorites pane.
  • A gwmarket.net button to open the item’s page in the website.
  • A Guild Wars Wiki button to open the item’s wiki page.
  • Two grouped lists below: SELL ORDERS (green) and BUY ORDERS (orange). Each row shows the seller name, when it was posted, the quoted quantity, the asking price, the per-unit price and a Whisper button that opens an in-game whisper pre-filled with that player’s name.

Settings

The window has its own settings panel (open from Settings → Market Browser):

  • Auto-refresh — when on, polls the market every N seconds.
  • Interval (sec) — slider, 30 to 300 seconds. Only shown when Auto-refresh is enabled.
  • Refresh — manual one-shot refresh; only enabled while the websocket is connected.

Tips

  • The browser only shows active orders. If a listing’s TTL has expired on the gwmarket side, it disappears from the in-game view automatically.
  • Currencies are converted by gwmarket — when the Currency sort is selected, items priced in different currencies are sorted within their currency bucket, not against each other.
  • Your favourites list is stored under your Toolbox configuration, not on gwmarket.net, so it’s per-installation rather than per-account.
