We've also seen questions regarding what, if any, changes are being made to the AH in 1.0.4. While we've already talked about many of the updates we have planned, we know some players may have missed those discussions. So, rather than make you wait for the patch notes, we've put together a list of everything that's changing in 1.0.4 for you below.
Take a look:
General Improvements:
Search Improvements:
UI Improvements:
In addition to these improvements, we're also fixing several bugs with the auction house UI and functionality (many of which you reported on these forums).
Bug Fixes:
Take a look:
General Improvements:
- Players can now cancel their auctions at any point so long they do not have any active bids on them (it will still take five minutes for a listed auction to become searchable, however).
- We've increased the maximum stack size of gold per listing from 100,000 to 1,000,000. The current minimum listing price will remain the same per stack.
- We've added description text to several error messages. We've also improved several existing descriptions so that they more clearly describe why you've encountered an error.
Search Improvements:
- We're upping the allowed number of "Preferred Stats" per search from 3 to 6.
- We're upping the number of digits you can enter in the "Min Value" field for equipment searches from 3 to 5 (i.e. you can now search for values > 999).
- We've replaced “Minimum Damage” with “Average Damage” as a searchable stat, which can be calculated as follows: (Min Damage + Max Damage) / 2. So, for example, searching for an Average Damage of 12 will find an item with 10-14 damage, 12 Minimum damage, or 24 Maximum damage.
- Stat increases which come from slotted gems will no longer be factored in when searching for equipment. Instead, your search criteria will only take into account the base stat values for an item.
- Armor, DPS, Buyout, and Time Left columns are now sortable columns in the Search tab.
UI Improvements:
- The Auctions tab and Completed tab will now refresh whenever one of your items has been purchased.
- Whenever an auction expires or is cancelled, the listing price of that item will now display in the Completed tab.
- Tooltips have been added for items in the Completed tab (which means you'll be able to see the stats of the items you've purchased or sold, as well as items which failed to sell or were cancelled).
- Tooltips have been added for commodities.
- Item Compare tooltips have been added to the Recommended Items page.
In addition to these improvements, we're also fixing several bugs with the auction house UI and functionality (many of which you reported on these forums).
Bug Fixes:
- Auction house filters are no longer case-sensitive.
- Players can now search for stats on Legendary items! Yay!
- The Recommended Items page will now display quivers for demon hunters even if you have a two-handed ranged weapon equipped.
- Witch doctor's Corpse Spider bonus is now listed when searching for mojos.
- And, last but not least, we've fixed several issues with affixes not displaying correctly or being unavailable for equipment searches:
- "Attack Speed" is now a searchable affix for quivers
- Items with the "Level Requirement Reduced" affix will now properly appear in search results when specifying the level range
- Searches will now properly filter results according to the set Minimum and Maximum values for"Life per Spirit Spent"
what does an AH update have to do with paragon levels being in or not in the patch?

Not sure if I understand this correctly... does that mean 1mil = 0,25€?
6 prop search = god send for barbarians.
Barb? Monk had it the worst, IMHO.
That's the way I read it too. Guess we will find out tomorrow.
I just hope its not how it seems that would ruin both AHs really badly
Most likely.
Last week of August, which this patch is slated for, is next week. So most likely we'll find out in 8 days.
But this is still ok. I don't really ever search for socketed items with the intent of wanting a gem in it anyway.
Don't think so.
Now it's 0,25€ min for 100k gold, although you can price even 10€. And tbh it's close to impossible to sell such overpriced gold (it sells for 0,25$ in NA). With the change, you can sell 1m for 0,25€, or something like 2€, what I think, is the closest price of 1m gold.
all gold prices would go 10times higher? doesnt make any sense
if thats true, I dont want to see this patch live anymore :/
Like Kripp said, just think of the huge amount of man hours wasted on people just searching through crap on the AH.
For the people complaining about gem stats, have you ever tried searching for a helm with magic find? You pretty much have to search for helms with like +40% magic find, and then almost all of the results you get are people who spend hours searching for good helms just to stick a gem in them and then relist them for crazy amounts. This is gonna make searching for weapons, pants, chests, and helms SOOO much easier. I personally have sat and looked at the AH sometimes for hours searching for upgrades and very rarely find something.
About the price of gold, sweet. You know blizz was probably sitting there looking at gold prices on black market sites, and then looking at their spreadsheets and how gold sales through AH has dropped and they took the only logical solution. Keep bots around, still make money off them, blizz is like the house in casinos. They always win eventually.
