AH Prices

About the data

Plain answers about where the prices on AH Prices come from and what they mean.

What is AH Prices?

AH Prices (ahprices.com) is an independent price tracker for the auction houses of World of Warcraft®: Forever. It shows what items are listed for on every EU and NA auction house, hour by hour, with price history back to 6 November 2026. It isn't made by or affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment.

Where do the prices come from, and how often do they update?

From Blizzard's own auction data for World of Warcraft: Forever, which Blizzard publishes about once an hour for each auction house. AH Prices checks for a new copy every 10 minutes and stores each one, so a price is usually less than an hour old. The newest data when this page was made is from . Blizzard keeps no history and sometimes skips an hour, so a few hours have no prices; Data check shows every hour we have.

Are these sale prices?

No. They're the prices items are listed for, because Blizzard's data shows auctions that are up, not sales. Each price is the buyout price of one item. Lowest is the cheapest single item listed. Near-lowest is the price that 10% of the listed items are at or under, so one stray bargain doesn't move it. Item pages also show the median and how many are listed.

Which auction houses are covered?

All 24 auction houses of World of Warcraft: Forever in EU and NA: 4 rulesets (Normal, PvP, RP, RP-PvP), each with an Alliance, a Horde and a Blackwater house. Pick one to see its prices:

PvPEU · NAEU · NAEU · NA
RPEU · NAEU · NAEU · NA
RP-PvPEU · NAEU · NAEU · NA

A page opened without a house shows NA PvP Horde.

What is the Blackwater auction house, and which houses can my character use?

Blackwater is the neutral auction house that Alliance and Horde characters share, one for each ruleset. A character can use its own faction's auction house and Blackwater, but not the other faction's house. Every item page compares the price on all of them.

How do you know which house is which?

Blizzard's data doesn't say which ruleset a house serves, so the names are inferred. They agree with BootyBayBroker's market labels and an in-game scan, but so far we've only confirmed EU PvP Alliance in game ourselves.

How far back does the history go?

To 6 November 2026. Recent weeks are kept hour by hour, and older prices as one average a day, so the chart on an item page shows both.

What do c, s and g mean?

Copper, silver and gold: 100 copper (c) make 1 silver (s), and 100 silver make 1 gold (g). So 1g 25s 50c is 12,550 copper.

How do I link to a price?

Copy the address of an item page: it always names the house it shows, like https://ahprices.com/forever/item/2589-linen-cloth?house=eu-pvp-horde. A link shared in a chat app shows the item's price on that house and a chart of its last week. When you quote a price, give the update time shown on the page with it.
