General Info

• The Auction House is unlocked for characters that have completed the tutorial up to the first rebirth and is at least cumulative level 20.

    • Alternately, players with VIP Premium Service can unlock this extra slot by having a Homestead with an active Homestead House.

• Slots are used for any item the player is currently bidding on, needs to re-bid on, is listing for auction, has succeeded/failed to purchase and has sold/not sold.
  • In effect, everything uses an auction house slot. Players should be careful not to fill their slots up in case they need to buy or sell a time-sensitive item.
• Items found on the Auction House are separated into general categories found on the left side of the "Auction House" tab.
  • Each general category has its own drop-down list which separates the selected category into specific item categories.
• Items that are being sold for over 100 million gold will have their prices marked in red.

Searching

• To search for an item on the Auction House, type in the case-sensitive name of the item followed by a space at the end of each word.
  • The search feature defaults to "Regular" and not "All" or "Bid" searches. As a result players must select one of the other two choices, located next to the search bar, if they wish to see items that they can bid on in addition to items they can outright purchase.
• If the whole name of the item is typed in case-sensitive, it can be searched by clicking "Search" or by pressing "Enter" on the keyboard.
  • Searches will offer average and sale price data to the player for specific items, even if the item is not currently on the Auction House.
• To search for a different item on the Auction House, click "Reset Search" which will reset the Auction House menu to its original state.
• Some items, like the Fixed Dye Ampoule, have different variations (i.e. the different colors of Fixed Dyes). These items are all considered the same by the Auction House.

  • It is possible to search for individual dye colors by using the Advanced Search feature of the Auction House.
