In World of Warcraft, there is also a new Black Market Auction House in Warlords of Draenor, and it is only 45 seconds away from your Garrison.
One might think that the first rule of the Black Market Auction House in World of Warcraft is: “You do not talk about the Black Market Auction House.” While it was still a popular destination for the rich gold goblins in Mists of Pandaria, it is considerably less visited in Warlords of Draenor.
Reason: There is no flying in Draenor and the Black Market Auction House is located far from the main area in northern Nagrand amidst a group of ogres.
The walk there is long, but there is a trick on how to save yourself the journey and reach it in 45 seconds from your own Garrison. In this video, you can see how it works.
Aviana’s Feather, which you see in action in the video, is a reward for a quest from your inn in the Garrison. You need to complete “Aviana’s Request” in the Heroic Dungeon “The Sky Pillar.” It’s no big deal; many of you will likely have the feather lying around anyway.
The Black Market Auction House is technically a “Gold Sink,” where players bid against each other for particularly valuable or rare items. Here, “Best-in-Slot” items can appear (yes, including mythic ones that are otherwise only available in raids) or rare vanity items like the Arcanite Ripper or raid mounts from times past such as Mimiron’s Head. Each server has its own BM-AH, and the offers change. Just like in Mists of Pandaria, where everyone was crazy about the Black Market Auction House.
No reason for it to disappear this time into the fog of silence, just because the path is a bit inconvenient. A bit mean, however: This time there is no mailbox nearby.
