Auction House
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, orallto list every matching item in your inventory. Unstackable items (like gear) are listed one at a time.price per item— supports shorthand like10k,1m,1b. The buyer pays this price for each item.- Currency — listings are priced in money by default; add
energyto 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 |

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.
