Why not just have an Auction house exclusive currency? Doubloons or something?
It would fix all of the problems of Galleon inflation.
Maybe have it earnable via one-time quests?
That would eventually end up like galleons sadly. Even with one time quests as long as new accounts can take those quests the amount of that currency is still unlimited like galleons.
holy shit this would be my dream
idc if it costs 50k galleons for an explosive scroll i just don’t wanna keep getting fucking ardent 9 times in a row after hours of dark seaing

It would also make galleons feel even more useless, as people would think they can use them for auction, but then see only a new special currency can be used.
I don’t think we need to worry about galleon inflation
To be fair with how the ship prices are increasing by the time the last few ship types are being created they could cost around 2 million galleons. This is going off the average price multiplier from one ship to the next (sailboat to caravel, caravel to ketch etc).
So unless chests start giving more galleons per open (increasing galleon inflation) or something like the auction house is implemented soon to curve the volume of galleons in circulation we could eventually get to a stage where galleons literally dont matter when you buy something, as they’re either completely worthless or items in shops cost ungodly amounts of galleons.

Thats true, I mean even I completely ignore if someone is paying me galleons or not when they send me a trade. The only use they have rn is for npc shops or buying the ships.
That’s another thing that would help: Default npc shops that are actually worthwhile.
Food npcs need to sell more island/place specific foods, scaling up to really valuable things. Redwake should sell sharks at its highest level, frostmill should sell some fish, Ravenna should sell Wheat & Tomatos.
Clothing shops should sell large sets of accessories then 1-2 preset clothings sets. Armorers need things like this too. Make the Cirrius Armorer sell wizard gear, make the Ravenna armorers sell Ravenna armor.
Something that could REALLY do a lot is having Alchemists sell potions. People would buy those like no tomorrow.
You can see SOME of this in game (Cirrius selling sky apples), but not enough.
Shops in general are just worthless after a certain point. Only Alchemists or forgers see any use really- and its sparse at best. After you max out your build, you have 0 use for any of the islands shops.

cant wait to put sunken for 1 galleon
Don’t give me idea
auction house is an online marketplace without the need of discussing price or time to meet
(there better be a search function)
I stg whenever it gets put in if auction house doesnt have the ability to search for items or specific sellers, or has certain items be unable to be sold imma lose it.
Imo if vetex does decide to add auction house, he better make a website to see all prices like the runescape grand exchange tracker
ive been wanting to add it for ages but its up to headless to make the back end stuff for it so idk when itll be added rip
when its done i would just throw it in with whatever major update im working on

“Sorry, I’m not quite ready for customers yet…”
Yeah! This is more an appreciation post for just how awesome it will be to have something like this in the game, but because it’s more on Headless’ end, can’t really bug you to check when it’ll be ready. Just have to be patient.
It will be kind of nice though, just a surprise addition to any update that the Auction House is ready and done. Fingers crossed it’ll be done around Full Release.
That’ll probably be something for the community to do. Though I’m not sure if it would be that easy. It is Roblox after all.

When this gets added I’ll be OSRS-Style flipping like crazy; overall net positive.
For once, I agree that an added feature like this only really has positives. Things like brewing and jewels have upsides and downsides, but unless the auction house ends up a scam site for rich traders to steal from some poor kid who got a lucky drop, it’ll be very helpful for AO’s economy.
They would do that because there would be other items on the auction house that would be purchased using Galleons.
