If you want to buy items from the Boutique but do not wish to use real money, you can use your gold coins to buy Gold. You may also wish to turn your newly bought Gold into gold coins. You can buy or sell Gold at any Auctioneer using the Gold Trading option.

Buying and Selling Gold From the Auction House[]

At the Auctioneer NPC in any major city, start dialogue and choose Gold Trade. A new window will automatically open. The Buy button lets you buy Gold, the Sell button lets you sell gold, and the password button allows you to set and change the account password.

The rest of the window can be divided into four basic sections: the Set Price window, the Available Funds window, the Price Listings, and the bottom area.

The Set Price Window[]

This area in the upper left of the window, is where you set your prices for buying and selling. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, the layout is the same. The price box is where you set the amount of money in gold coins. This is how much you want to spend for buying, and your price for selling. This needs to be in a value that is divisible by 100. The amount box is the amount of gold you want to buy or sell, and must be less than 100. Input the amount you wish to use for each. For buying prices, it will take the lowest price under whatever value you set first. For example, if I placed the value of 1,600,000 in price, and 10 in amount, it would take the gold from the next lowest (1,599,900) first.

The value next to Total is the amount of money you will spend or make, again depending on whether you're buying or selling. The Fee is an additional cost that goes to the NPC, paid in gold coins for buying, and gold or silver for selling. This fee is 2% of the total for everything. Using the example above, the fee paid would be 319,980 gold coins. This is the same regardless of how much you actually spend.

The Available Funds Window[]

This is located just under the Set Price window, and lists how much gold and gold coins you have available to use. It is not how much of each you have in total, but just what can be used for gold trading. To use gold and gold coins here, you must first deposit them by clicking on the Deposit button.

Type in the amount of gold coins and gold you want to use for trading into the appropriate box, and hit done. You can put all your gold coins or gold in, if you wish, by hitting max, and then done. This will make the gold coins and gold usable in your trading account. However, you can't use this money in other places in the game unless you withdraw it from the account. This is done in the exact same way as depositing, but click on the Withdraw button instead. This will make the funds usable in other places, but remove it from the gold trading account.

The Buy and Sell Window[]

Found to the right of the screen, this lists all the prices for currently available gold. When you sell gold, the prices will be listed in the upper window in yellow. For buying gold, the prices you wish to buy at will be found at the bottom in green.

This means that should a person buying gold list a lower price than what is found in the upper, yellow section, it will be placed in the lower green section.

The Bottom of the Window[]

This area contains other sources of information. The Players Funds area on the right shows how much is available outside the gold trading account. On the left, the refresh button simply updates all windows to reflect changes made by all players using the gold trading. Clicking on Listings will bring up a new window.

This shows all current transactions, similar to the Auction House. The buy and sell prices listed here go into more depth than the opening window, and show a wider listing. The left section of this window shows transactions currently in progress, as well as those that have already been completed in the past. If you wish to buy gold for a lower price than is listed in the yellow sell window, then it will show up in this area, as well as the green buy window.
