To sell enchanted books in SkyBlock, you primarily use the Auction House for most enchantments or the Bazaar specifically for Ultimate Enchantment Books. These methods allow you to reach a broad player base and get competitive prices for your items.
Selling Enchanted Books: Your SkyBlock Guide
Selling enchanted books efficiently in SkyBlock requires understanding the different trading platforms available and knowing when to use each for maximum profit.
The Auction House: For Most Enchanted Books
The Auction House (AH) is the primary marketplace for player-to-player trading in SkyBlock. It's ideal for selling most enchanted books, especially those that are rare, custom-made, or have high-tier enchantments.
How to Sell on the Auction House:
- Access the Auction House: You can find the Auction House NPC in the Hub island (usually near the Bank) or access it via the
/ahcommand. - Select Your Item: Open your inventory and click on the enchanted book you wish to sell. A confirmation menu will appear.
- Choose Sale Type:
- Auction: Players bid against each other for your item over a set period. This can sometimes lead to higher profits if demand is strong. You'll need to set a starting bid price.
- Buy It Now (BIN): You set a fixed price, and the first player to pay that price instantly buys your item. This is often preferred for a quicker, guaranteed sale.
- Set Price and Duration:
- For BIN, input your desired selling price.
- For Auctions, set a starting bid and optionally a "reserve price" (the minimum price you're willing to sell for).
- Choose an auction duration: 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, or 2 days. Longer durations mean more exposure but also a longer wait for your money.
- Confirm and List: Review your settings and confirm the listing. A small fee is typically applied.
- Claim Coins: Once your item sells (or the auction ends), you can claim your coins from the Auction House NPC or via the
/ahcommand.
Practical Tip: Research current prices for similar enchanted books using the /ah command or by browsing active auctions. This helps you price competitively and avoid underselling.
The Bazaar: Specializing in Ultimate Enchantments
The Bazaar is a market specifically designed for high-volume commodities and certain special items, including Ultimate Enchantment Books. This is where you can quickly buy and sell materials, and crucially, Ultimate Enchantment Books can be bought and sold on the Bazaar.
How to Sell on the Bazaar:
- Access the Bazaar: The Bazaar NPC is located in the Hub island, usually near the Bank, or can be accessed with the
/bzcommand. - Navigate to Enchanted Books: In the Bazaar menu, click on the "Enchanted Books" category.
- Select Your Ultimate Enchantment Book: Find and click on the specific Ultimate Enchantment Book you want to sell (e.g., Ultimate Wise V, Ultimate Jerezed, etc.).
- Choose Selling Method:
- Instant Sell: This option sells your book immediately to the highest active buy order. You'll receive coins instantly, but usually at a slightly lower price than creating a sell offer. This is ideal for quick cash.
- Create Sell Offer: You set a price at which you are willing to sell your book. Your offer will sit in the market until a player places a buy order that matches or exceeds your price. This often yields a higher profit but takes longer.
- Confirm Sale/Offer: Review the prices and quantities, then confirm your transaction.
- Claim Coins: For instant sales, coins are immediate. For sell offers, you'll be notified when your offer is fulfilled, and you can claim the coins from the Bazaar menu.
Practical Tip: The Bazaar is perfect for quickly liquidating Ultimate Enchantment Books or if you're trying to achieve a specific price point through a sell offer, especially for popular ultimates. Always check the current buy and sell prices before making a decision.
Direct NPC Sales: Least Profitable
While you can sell enchanted books to general NPCs, this is almost never recommended. NPCs offer a fixed, very low price for items, which is typically a fraction of what you'd get from other players on the Auction House or Bazaar. Only use this method if an enchanted book has absolutely no market value and you need to clear inventory space.
Maximizing Your Profits: Tips for Selling Enchanted Books
- Research Prices: Always check the current market value of your enchanted book on the Auction House or Bazaar before listing. Use
/ahor/bzand search for similar items. - Understand Demand: Highly sought-after enchantments (like Sharpness VII, Growth VII, Ultimate Wise V) will sell faster and for more money than niche or low-tier ones.
- Time Your Sales: Market prices can fluctuate. Selling during peak player activity or after major game updates (which might increase demand for certain enchantments) can be beneficial.
- Check Enchants and Lore: Ensure your book doesn't have any unwanted "recombobulated" tags or specific lore that might affect its value.
- Consider Bundling: For lower-tier, common enchantments, sometimes selling them in a stack of 64 or as part of a custom book (combining multiple enchantments) can yield more profit.
