cross-realm arbitrage
Arbitrage board
Items one realm sells for well under what they fetch elsewhere in the region — and that actually sell. Your gold and your items travel through the Warband bank, so a discount on another realm is a real trade: buy there, sell where it moves.
methodology
How this board is built
- What does this board show?
- For each item, the one realm currently selling it furthest under the region's reference price — what it fetches on an ordinary realm — ranked by how much gold a day the gap is worth, given how fast the item actually sells. Your gold and items travel between realms through the Warband bank, so the gap is a real trade, not just a number.
- Where do these numbers come from?
- Per-realm price snapshots feed a rollup. The reference is the 40th percentile of realm floor prices — the cheapest listing on each realm — over realms carrying at least two listings, so a handful of parking listings cannot drag it up. Demand is measured two ways: how many listings leave the auction house per day across the region, and how often the region's cheapest price actually moves.
- Why isn't an item listed here?
- An item only qualifies once at least 5 (KR/TW: 3) realms carry it with two or more listings each, its reference price is at least 1 gold, at least one listing leaves the auction house per day region-wide, its region-wide cheapest price has moved at least six times in the last two days, and the best realm is at least 25% under the reference. Commodities never appear here — they trade region-wide, so there is no realm-to-realm gap to measure.
- How fresh is this data?
- This board updates on the same ingest cycle as realm prices — roughly every 10 minutes.
