Auction House

The Auction House is Orelia’s marketplace for every player. List an item, log off for the night, and the next day your earnings are waiting in your mail. When you list, you decide whether people can buy instantly, bid, trade or make an offer.

The window

Talk to an NPC with the Auction House menu entry. The tabs at the top are:

On the right you see everything about the selected entry: the item (with its normal tooltip), seller, end time, prices, minimum bid and whether you are currently in the lead. Only the buttons that apply to that listing are shown.

Search and filters

On Browse and Wanted you can filter by name, category, level range, job, currency, type (Buy Now, auction, trade) and price range, and sort by ending soonest, newest, price or name.

Selling

While selling, the window shows the item’s price history: median, average, range and number of sales over the last 7 and 30 days, matched to the upgrade level.

A listing currently costs a 1,000 Penya fee, and currency earnings are taxed at 3 %. You can have up to 20 listings at a time. Equipped, bound, expired and quest items cannot be listed.

Buying, bidding, trading

• Buy Now: buy instantly at the fixed price, as long as the current bid is below it. Whoever was leading gets their money back.
• Bidding: at least the minimum bid shown. After the first bid it goes up by 5 %, or at least 1,000 Penya, 1 Perin or 1 Red Chip. If you are outbid, your money comes back right away.
• No last-second sniping: a bid in the final 5 minutes extends the auction to 5 minutes.
• Trade: Deliver exactly the requested item in the requested amount and the swap happens immediately. Any other item becomes an offer that the seller accepts or declines.

When an auction ends, the highest bid wins. With no bids, the item goes back to the seller. This happens even when nobody is online.

Making offers

On Buy Now and trade listings (not auctions) you get a Make offer button. Name a price – currently at least half the Buy Now price – and the money is held right away. The seller answers from their mailbox, even if they are offline right now. The back-and-forth is explained under Mail › Negotiating.

Wanted requests

Post Wanted lets you ask for an item: item, count, total price, currency and duration. The price is held immediately. When another player delivers exactly that item in exactly that count, they receive the price minus tax. Partial deliveries are not possible. A wanted request currently also costs 1,000 Penya, and you can have up to 10 at once.

Where do items and Penya go?

Everything you receive – bought and won items, sale earnings, refunds after being outbid, returned or expired items – arrives as a letter from “Auction House” in your mail (folder System). A chat line such as “Item sold – it is in your post” tells you about it, on any channel.

The old “Collect” tab is now called Post. Once nothing is left there, Open post takes you straight to your mailbox. The letter also shows the full history of that listing.
