Available Items in the Market

Every month, the Aventurer's Market has a list of items available for sale. Some of these items will only be available for the current month, while other items may be available for longer. All items will be shown with a "leaving the market" tag if they're meant to expire.

The typical items that you will see in the Adventurer's Market will be that of cosmetic, vanity, mount-related and other items that are meant to be fun rather than giving a player an edge over anyone.

Some items in the market may have level restrictions above 75 or item levels. These items cannot be equipped and worn normally, but they are able to be style locked and used entirely as vanity pieces.

All items made available will always be exclusive to the buyer with only a few exceptions.
