Dear players, this guide is helpful for you in knowing the economy in World of Warcraft. This will enable you in learning the use of the mighty Auction House and making the best purchase and bargain. We will start with the subject of
Auction House and proceed with its working.
Even the mmorpgs players are envious of the WoW’s Auction House since it is the best solution ever made for the players. Auction Houses are also briefed as Ahs and they can be seen only in the capital cities as per the old map of Azeroth: Stormwind, Darnassus, Ironforge, and Exodar on the Aliance side and Undercity, Thunderbluff, Orgimmar, and Silvermoon City for the Horde side.
Use of the Auction House
After getting the AH you need to click on one of the Auctioneers. There are categories of items and goods on the left side that you can search through. The sub-categories make your search easier by clicking on the Weapons as an example. The upper frame shows a text box that displays Name, Level – Range and a drop down menu that reads All. By clicking the All tab, you could specify your search as poor, common, uncommon, epic or rare items depending on the quality of the item that you are searching for. Click on the Search button on the right side while searching through all by leaving it as it is. It is advisable not to search through all items, since there are chances of losing so many items on the AH. Type the exact name of the item that you know in the Name text box and click on Search. Then the AH will show the current list of all available items. You can go to the next page/pages by using the link given at the down side.
There is an option to see how an item would look on you i.e. armor and weapons. Hold CTRL key and left click on the item and you will be able to see it. This option is popularly called “the dressing room”. When buying an item you should make sure to check its price. The Buyout price is the maximum price and by selecting an item and clicking on the Buyout button located at the bottom of the AH window you will be able to purchase an item right away.
The first price that you see is the price that you can bid. You can bid by clicking on the Bid button also located in the bottom of the AH window. If you want to get an item for the cheaper price you should definitely bid but expect that other players will do the same so it can be a long chase. When you bid the amount of gold that you have bid with is taken from you but if somebody outbids you the same amount is returned to you via mail. If you manage to buy the item without being outbid the item will be sent to you also through mail when the time of that particular auction expires.
If you would like to sell an item, click on the Auctions tab on the left side at the bottom of the AH window. Place an item in the Auction item slot; fill in the Starting price and the Buyout price and the check the length of your Auction duration. You can put 12 hours for short, 24 hours for long and 48 hours for very long auction. It is advisable that you check the prices on the same item before you make your own auction, lower your price a bit and then put it on. If the item is sold you will get the gold on your email with a small percentage fee that the AH takes. If the item isn’t sold it will return to you when the auction expires.
You could always monitor your bids and auctions by clicking on the Bids and Auctions tabs.
