Curated Auction House

The previous bot that stocked every auctionable item has been replaced by an allow-list of 88 ordinary essentials. The bot maintains five single items and five stacks where stacking is supported, producing a verified target of 440 singles and 340 stacks.

Stock categories:

  • crystals and ordinary crafting materials
  • basic medicine and food
  • common low-level spell scrolls
  • ninja tools
  • ordinary arrows, bolts, and bullets

Rare drops, endgame gear, named-monster rewards, and custom progression rewards remain player-driven.

Price policy

Catalog rows contain a price source and note. Seed prices are based on FFXIAH-derived retail reference data, with a small set of live Asura samples dated 2026-08-06. Retail values vary by world and date, so these are starting references rather than a claim of one universal retail price.

At each hourly refresh, the bot applies a minimum sale price of:

  • twice the NPC buyback value for singles
  • twice the buyback value of a full stack for stacks

This prevents an Auction House purchase from becoming an immediate vendor-profit loop. The bot never deletes player listings or completed sale history.

The next hourly refresh picks up those changes.

The listing screen uses dynamic six-item pages. It reports the real number of pages, wraps safely when listings change, and returns a retry response instead of dereferencing a failed database result.
