Auction House

To List an Item

To put an item up for auction, first go to the Auction House in the City. If the item meets the prerequisite described in below section, it will be available to select in a drop down list, and can be selected to put into the listing.

There is no starting bid price, and there is no reserve price system in place.

Once an item is listed it cannot be cancelled or removed. The item will stay in the listing until expiry based on the selected duration.

Players may have a maximum of 5 listings at the same time.

Category

• Items being auctioned are now categorized based on types (as opposed to previously based on rarity):
  • Weapons
  • Armors
  • Items

• All advanced weapons and armor can now be added to the Auction House.

• For all other items, they must now be at least Rare (with a total circulation of 250 or less) in order to be listed.
  • At the time of the Auction House update some Uncommon and Limited items that were previously listed will remain in listing until their expiry.

Duration

The available auctioning duration have been changed to between 1 and 7 days. A player can select the duration from a drop-down list.

To Bid on Items

The game will automatically bid for you up until the maximum price you have set when you bid. This is to prevent bid sniping right at the end of the auction time. There is a live timer counting down to the end of each bid on the page, which can end at any time of the day.

• If you are outbid or your item sells, your money is returned in the form of a Cashier's Check. These can be redeemed at the city bank, or are returned automatically after 24 hours.

• After the item sells you get given 97% of what the final bid on the item was - with the other 3% being charged as Auction House fees.

• Auction timers reset to 1 min if there is less than one minute time remaining when the highest bid changes.

• Bids cannot be cancelled.

• The bidding is denied if you are on seller's Enemy List. Sellers can enable/disable this feature as they wish.

Historical Notes

• The prior Auction House was implemented 15th January 2013. Before it there was a slightly different system in place. The Auction House requires players to achieve Level 5. Prior to the 8/11/22 update, there Auction House was categorized based on item rarity:
  • Extremely Rare (99 or less in circulation)
  • Very Rare (100-499 in circulation)
  • Rare (500-999 in circulation)
  • Limited (1000-2499 in circulation)
  • Uncommon (2500-5000 in circulation)

• Previously to check if your item qualifies for one of these categories; hover over an item and click on eye symbol that appears (if you are looking on the Item Market) or click on the item (if it is in your Inventory), from there find where it states "Circulation" and then hover over the symbol that appears next to the amount of that item in circulation. Only these items can be added to the auction house, however they will stay in the same auction category if they go over a limit once already added. You choose a number of days between 3-30 for your item to go on the market.

• The prior Auction House has item listing duration of 3 to 30 days.

• Previously you may only list three items in the Auction House at any one time.
