FAQ About World of Warcraft

The Auction House in World of Warcraft (WoW) is a centralized marketplace where players can buy and sell a wide range of items, including gear, crafting materials, pets, and more. It serves as a key player-driven economy feature in the game. Here's how the Auction House works:

1. Locating the Auction House:

• In major cities and some smaller towns, you'll find Auction Houses marked on your map. These locations typically have an Auctioneer NPC.

2. Accessing the Auction House:

• Approach the Auctioneer NPC and right-click to interact with them.
• You'll be presented with the Auction House interface.

3. Browsing the Auction House:

• The Auction House interface allows you to browse items by category, such as weapons, armor, consumables, and more.
• You can also search for specific items by name.

4. Listing Items for Auction (Selling):

• To sell an item, click the "Create Auction" button.
• Select the item you want to sell from your inventory.
• Set a duration for your auction (e.g., 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours).
• Set a starting bid price and a buyout price. Buyers can choose to bid or purchase the item at the buyout price immediately.
• Optionally, you can add a deposit fee to list the item. This fee is returned if the item sells, but it's lost if the auction expires.

5. Purchasing Items (Buying):

• To buy an item, search for it in the Auction House interface.
• Review the available listings, including the current bid and buyout prices.
• Click on the listing you want to purchase.
• Choose whether to place a bid or buy the item at the buyout price.
• If you win a bid, the item will be sent to your mailbox. If you buy the item outright, it's instantly delivered to you.

6. Mailbox:

• Items you win from auctions or purchase through the Auction House are sent to your in-game mailbox. Visit a mailbox to retrieve your items.

7. Auction House Fees:

• The Auction House charges a small fee for each successful sale. This fee is a percentage of the final sale price.
• The fee is deducted automatically when the auction concludes and the item is sold.

8. Auction House Add-ons:

• Many players use add-ons to enhance their Auction House experience. These add-ons provide additional features, including pricing information, market statistics, and more.
