Want to know if Diablo 4 has an auction house?
In a dungeon crawler that thrives on builds and item combinations, it makes sense that players would want to trade items. Diablo 4 has some limited trading options and ‘account bound’ legendary or unique items are off the table. As for an auction house, like the one that was temporarily in Diablo 3, here’s what you need to know.
With the Diablo 4 Season 3 release date approaching, check out how to use the Seneschal companion.
Does Diablo 4 have an auction house
No, Diablo 4 does not have an auction house. While Diablo 3 had one with both in-game and real-life currencies, it was discontinued after backlash from players. It made the loot system irrelevant by making items easy to obtain. In Diablo 4, players can still trade regular items as well as Gold, Gems, and Elixirs.
While gamers looking to trade might be disappointed by this, it means that your legendary and unique items are even more valuable. They’re proof of the amount of time you’ve invested into the game. Merely knowing that your item cannot be traded makes it feel like a rare occurrence.
You can still trade items with players
You can still trade with the random Diablo 4 players you meet in a server. But at higher levels, you’ll be on the lookout for legendary and unique gear. These cannot be traded.
That covers the lack of an auction house in the game. Check out the Diablo 4 battle pass rewards to know what Season 3 brings to the table. If trade isn’t an option, you can still earn some slick new armor sets by clearing challenges in the battle pass. Blizzard Entertainment ensured that the loot system remained a core part of the Diablo experience by disabling the auction house. And that decision has been carried over to Diablo 4.
