Impact of Region-Wide Auction House Commodities
Last Updated: 2022-07-18
TL;DR: About 98% of Auction House volume are commodity items. There is a big disparity between big and small Realm’s Auction House volume.
Starting in 9.2.7 Auction House listings for commodity items like herbs, flask, gems, etc. will be combined for the entire region.
Below is the full data for the Auction Houses in US/EU regions. Listed is the average volume of items that our commodities and non-commodities over the past week. Note that this is just volume of items, so a stack of 200 herbs counts as 200 toward the total volume.
This is going to have two major impacts on realms. First, the vast majority of items on the auction house will shared with the region. About 98% of the volume of items on the auction house are commodities. Second, there is a big gap between realms with high Auction House volume and realms with low Auction House volume. In the US region the highest volume Realm (Stormrage) has about 25x the volume of the lowest volume Realm (Gallywix).
Since the demand for items won’t change because of the Auction House merge and supply will, we’ll likely see price drops across the lower volume realms.
Full data for US and EU realms below. For Connected Realms there is only one listing for all the connected Realms.
