Auction House Mechanics
- One-sided market — WoW Auction Houses have buyouts only, no standing buy orders. Prices shown are the lowest active buyout.
- 5% AH cut taken on successful sales (faction-controlled AH: 6%).
- Prices are per-realm — switch realms via the selector in the top nav.
About the World of Warcraft Auction House
Commodities vs gear pricing
Commodities are priced identically for all players in your region (US/EU/KR). Gear, mounts, and recipes are per-connected-realm-cluster. AuricDB shows both — when you select a realm, commodity prices route to the region-wide pool automatically.
Cross-realm trading
WoW retail has connected-realm clusters — multiple realms that share an AH. AuricDB lists the cluster name (e.g. "Aegwynn") and shows member realms as a sub-list. Search the realm picker by any cluster or member realm name.
