Held back from the rankings

These moves would have ranked above, but their own daily data does not support a market move: the median on the first or last day was a listing wall far above the cheapest listing, the new level shows up on a single day, the cheapest listing did not move with the median, or the item was barely listed on an endpoint day. They stay here, with their observed values, rather than headline the report. 226 were held back this week; the 20 largest are listed here.

Commodity	Week start	Week end	Change	Why it is held back
Two of Vivacity	11 gold50 silver	18,600 gold	+161639.1%	On Aug 16 the median listing (18,600g) was 3,720 times the cheapest listing that day (5g), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available.

The cheapest listing moved the other way (about 10g 10s over the first 3 days, 5g over the last 3), so the median reflects a listing wall, not the market.

How this report is built

Methodology: prices are US-region daily medians of commodity auction listings from Blizzard's official Auction House API, snapshotted hourly. Movers compare the first and last daily median inside the week. Candidates need a starting median of at least 10 gold and at least 50 live listings when the page is built. A move is only featured when its own days support it: rows whose first or last daily median was more than ten times that day's cheapest listing, whose new level appears on a single day, whose cheapest listing (the typical daily minimum over the first and last three days) did not move at least half as far as the median, or that were listed in fewer than half the hourly scans on an endpoint day are held back and listed separately. Verify prices in-game before trading.

Sample: the 1,502 US-region commodities that cleared the liquidity and price floors inside this window; the tables rank the largest movers among them, 10 in each direction. Prices are daily medians, measured through 2026-08-16: the baseline is the first daily median inside the week and the end is the last one; a daily median is the median of that day's hourly, quantity-weighted median asks, so it describes listings, not completed sales.

The same snapshots ship inside TheWoWDB Companion, the free in-game addon, so the prices in this report are the prices on your tooltips.
