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. 239 were held back this week; the 20 largest are listed here.

Commodity	Week start	Week end	Change	Why it is held back
Pale Huskfish	37 gold5 silver	20,000 gold	+53881.1%	On Sep 6 the median listing (20,000g) was 400 times the cheapest listing that day (50g), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available. The week-end level (20,000g) appears on Sep 6 only, with no other day in the week near it. The cheapest listing moved much less than the median (about 20g 99s over the first 3 days, 50g over the last 3), so most of the median's move came from listings far above the cheapest price.
Dawnweave	23 gold50 silver	1,000 gold42 silver	+4157.1%	On Sep 6 the median listing (1,000g 42s) was 200 times the cheapest listing that day (5g), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available. The cheapest listing did not move (about 10g 99s over the first 3 days, 15g over the last 3), so the median reflects a listing wall, not the market.
War-Scroll of Battle Shout	11 gold95 silver	500 gold	+4084.1%	On Aug 31 the median listing (11g 95s) was 12 times the cheapest listing that day (1g), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available. On Sep 6 the median listing (500g) was 105 times the cheapest listing that day (4g 78s), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available. The week-end level (500g) appears on Sep 6 only, with no other day in the week near it. The cheapest listing moved much less than the median (about 2g 60s over the first 3 days, 4g 78s over the last 3), so most of the median's move came from listings far above the cheapest price.
Forbidden Flounder	71 gold91 silver	2,999 gold99 silver	+4071.9%	On Sep 6 the median listing (2,999g 99s) was 100 times the cheapest listing that day (29g 98s), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available. The cheapest listing moved the other way (about 65g over the first 3 days, 30g over the last 3), so the median reflects a listing wall, not the market.
Enchant Helm - Hex of Leeching	23 gold59 silver	881 gold36 silver	+3636.2%	On Sep 6 the median listing (881g 36s) was 26 times the cheapest listing that day (34g 38s), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available.

The cheapest listing did not move (about 23g 11s over the first 3 days, 23g 11s over the last 3), so the median reflects a listing wall, not the market.
Jasper	17 gold62 silver	500 gold	+2737.7%	On Sep 6 the median listing (500g) was 99 times the cheapest listing that day (5g 6s), so most listed units sat far above where the item was available. The cheapest listing moved the other way (about 13g 98s over the first 3 days, 8g 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 1,497 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 2026-09-06: 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.
