The Market Board is a system replacing the old Market Wards. It functions like a traditional Auction House, though items are put for sale using Retainers.

Market Board Locations

At least Two Market Boards(always across from each other) can be found in each of the three major City-States, and are always located near the largest group of merchants, as well as beside the Retainer Vocate/Summoning Bell. See below list for specific locations.

  • Ul'dah
    • Sapphire Avenue Exchange (13,9)
  • Old Gridania
    • Ebony Stalls (14,8)
    • Shaded Bower (14,9)
    • Rosewood Stalls (14,10)

Buying Items

Players can buy items from the Market board by using the search window. All items posted on the Market are from real life players who are using their Retainers. Items commonly purchased from merchants(as well as obtained through loot) can be listed on the Market.

Searching for Items

Once a player has activated the Market Board they will be shown this search window. Players can type in part, or whole names of a specific desired item in the top, or choose a category for which to search a multitude of items.














Search Results

After a player has confirmed their search, they will be shown the Search Result window. This window is where the player can choose which item(s) to buy based on those posted by other players via their Retainer(s). Each item shown also has a yellow, red, or black symbol beside it, those each represent Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, and Ul'dah respectively. Players using a Market Board NOT located in the same city as the symbol shown will be charged the tax of that city when buying the item displayed. The current taxed rates can be viewed at a Retainer Vocate in all three of the major City-States.



History/Advanced Search

From the Search Results window the player may also choose either the 'History' or 'Advanced Search' options










  • History
    This will show successfully sold items the same as the players search results. Including the date, time, who purchased, how many and for how much. This can also be used when listing items to sell on the market via your Retainer.
  • Advanced Search
    This will allow the player to toggle 'Display only HQ items.' on or off, as well as the 'Materia Filter' on or off, with specifics to one - five materia affixed.
