Auction House Search Mini-Reference

I can never remember where certain items are listed on the World of Warcraft Auction House. It gets a little confusing when "Back" is listed under every type of Armor, but all the Cloak auctions are assigned to "Cloth" even if they're made of leather.

So here's my new reference on where to search for those items one might think to search for in different categories.

Cloaks - Armor - Cloth - Back
Librams - Recipe - Book
Non Armor Shirts/Dresses - Armor - Miscellaneous - Shirt or Chest
Off Hand Items - Armor - Miscellaneous - Held In Off-hand
Rings - Armor - Miscellaneous - Finger
Trinkets - Armor - Miscellaneous - Trinket

Auction House


I've been collecting some Auction house Posts. Here they are with some interesting or representative excerpts:

From worldofwarcraft.com
Auction House Basics

Deposit Fees. All auctions will be initially charged a deposit fee. The deposit fee is refunded upon the successful sale of the item. All successful sales are charged an auction consignment fee which is extracted directly from the final sale price. All fees are higher in Gadgetzan.

Auction House Tips

Sound. You can hit control-s to disable the sound effects if someone is making really annoying sounds in the auction house. Don't forget to re-enable them after you leave.

From wowwiki.com
Auction House Formulas
Don't lower your starting bid below 70% of the suggested amount. (70% in a factioned auction house, 79% in the neutral house.) Otherwise you risk getting less money for an item than a normal merchant would give you.

    Auction House Bomb Video

    Click to watch: World of Warcraft Auction House Bomb at Google Video. Only 30 seconds. No Sound, but soooo worth the last 5 seconds.

    "Baron Geddon one of the bosses in Molten Core instance has the ability to cast a spell on someone that after so many seconds goes off and does area of effect damage to everyone around that person. Before this was fixed a warlock had the effect casted onto his pet and dismissed the pet until he got to the Auction house in Ironforge where he summoned the pet and wrecked havok."

    Is it bad that I think this is so.... what's the word... satisfying?
