Market fees

Market fees reduce the amount a seller keeps. Count ingredients, station costs, any Seat tithe and courier charges as well as the advertised sale price.

Route	What the seller keeps	Main limit
Court writ	The displayed silver reward; no Market listing or sale fee	3 deliveries per account per UTC day, shared by Mining, Logging and Herbalism
Crafting writ	The displayed silver reward; subtract ingredients and station fees	3 per account per UTC day, shared by Smithing and Provisioning
Fill an existing buy order	Price less the 5% sale tax and any courier charge; no seller listing fee or separate sale tithe	The order must still need your goods; compare delivery costs and eligible origins
List for silver	Price less a 1% listing fee rounded up, minimum 1 silver; 5% sale tax; and any tithe	Listing lasts 72 hours; the listing fee is lost on cancellation or expiry
Player commission or guild writ	The posted payment less 5% tax	A real buyer or guild budget must fund it; fill the exact request
NPC sale	The shop offer in gold, less your gold costs	Crafting quality's random bonuses do not increase the counter offer

These examples exclude tithe and courier charges:

Sale method	Gross sale (silver)	Net return (silver)
Market listing	100	94
Fill a buy order	100	95
Market listing at the minimum fee	1	0

Sell low-value materials in batches. Check Orders and History before setting a price: the seven-day median records past sales, while an unsold listing does not establish a selling price. Include courier charges when buying from another region.

Currency and material costs

Compare a finished item’s proceeds with what its materials could earn sold raw. Keep silver purchases and gold costs separate.

Rule	Fee charged per
Refining	Batch of up to 100 units of work
Finished item	Each craft

Use full refining batches when there is demand for the output.

Silver converts to 8 gold each, up to 300 silver per day; gold cannot buy silver. This cash-out conversion cannot be reversed for restocking. A first-time recipe bonus is XP, not cash, and a 1,000-silver perk change needs enough extra earnings to recover its cost.

Gold-bought or looted inputs and finished goods can have different trading restrictions. Check the station and Market's eligibility messages before planning a silver sale. Crafting writs accept eligible goods you actually made from gathered, looted or gold-bought ingredients; buying a finished product does not make it your craft.

Favourable daily draws can total 380 silver across three crafting writs:

Example account	Potion request (silver)	Feast request (silver)	Third request	Third reward (silver)	Total (silver)
At least one character has smithed	140	120	Repair Kits	120	380
No character has smithed	140 (Purification)	120	Invisibility	120	380

The ceiling is not guaranteed daily. Requests depend on the draw, and higher-rank goods can cost more to make. Inspect ingredients before accepting. Each profession’s Making money section explains its routes.

Gold listings and direct trades

Route	When the 1% fee is paid	Sale tax	Seat tithe	Where proceeds go
Silver Market listing	When posted; minimum 1 silver	5%	If applicable	Silver balance
Gold Market listing	From each sale; minimum 1 gold	5%	None	Collect into the bank for the Notice Board region
Hired trader	From each sale; minimum 1 gold	5%	None	Collect into the bank for the Notice Board region
Direct player trade	No Market fee	No Market tax	No Market tithe	The agreed items and carried gold

For one complete sale with no courier charge, the following gold returns subtract both deductions. The 1% fee rounds up; the 5% tax rounds down.

Asking price (gold)	Sale fee (gold)	Tax (gold)	Seller receives (gold)
1	1	0	0
30	1	1	28
100	1	5	94
1000	10	50	940

Partial sales can apply the minimum fee more than once. Gold sales need a realm character; ordinary pack loot can list for gold in Goods. See Market for origin rules and delivery, and Trading with players for direct-trade limits.
