The Auction House is the player-to-player marketplace on Ancients. List items at a price you choose, and other players can buy them whenever they're online — even if you're not. Open it with /ah (also /auctionhouse or /auction).

Browsing and buying

/ah opens the marketplace. Identical items are grouped together so you can compare prices at a glance — click a group to see every individual listing inside it. You can also:

  • Sort listings: Newest First, Oldest First, Price: Low to High, or Price: High to Low.
  • Search by name with the search button, or directly with /ah search <query>.
  • Browse one seller with /ah view <player>.

When you buy a stack of items, you don't have to take the whole thing — you can choose a quantity and pay the per-item price for just the amount you want. A confirmation screen shows the final cost before anything is charged.

You must be in a safe zone to buy.

Selling

Hold the item you want to sell, then:

/ah sell <amount|all> <price per item> [energy|cash]
  • amount — how many to list, or all to list every matching item in your inventory. Unstackable items (like gear) are listed one at a time.
  • price per item — supports shorthand like 10k, 1m, 1b. The buyer pays this price for each item.
  • Currency — listings are priced in money by default; add energy to ask for Ancient Energy instead. (Ancient Energy itself can only be sold for money.)

A confirmation screen appears before the listing goes up — you can turn this off in /toggles if you prefer one-step listing.

There is no listing fee and no cut taken from sales — you receive the full sale price.

A few rules:

Rule Detail
Where You must be in a safe zone to list, buy, or cancel
Listing duration Listings stay up for 24 hours
Listing limit Scales with your rank — 12 active listings at Mortal, then 14 (Husk), 16 (Revenant), 18 (Phantom), 20 (Demigod), up to 25 at Ascendant

Getting paid

When something sells, you're notified with the buyer's name and price. The proceeds are delivered to you automatically the next time you're in a safe zone — money goes straight to your balance, and Ancient Energy is handed to you as energy. If you were offline, you'll get a reminder when you log in.

The collection bin

/ah collect opens your collection bin (also reachable from the main menu). Items land here when:

  • A listing expires unsold after 24 hours.
  • You cancel a listing.
  • You buy something with a full inventory (the overflow is held for you).

Claim items from the bin while in a safe zone. Don't leave things sitting there — bin items are held for 7 days before they're cleared out.

Sale history

The marketplace menu includes a recent-sales view, so you can check what items have actually been selling for before pricing your own.
