Shen's Auction

Shen's Auction is a Location under the Auction House, where certain items are auctioned.

Mechanics

Every SkyBlock Year, a new auction will start. Players can bid on items that are being auctioned on Shen's Auction and Shen's Special. The top bidders on items can claim the items after the auction has ended. Not all items will always appear.

Diaz elected with the Volume Trading perk doubles the quantity of all items available to buy on both Shen's Auction and Shen's Special.
♲ Ironman players have 50% of the normal stock available. Additionally, ♲ Ironman players bid separately from Classic profiles. All items claimed from Ironman Shen's Auction are automatically Co-op Soulbound.
Ⓑ Bingo players are blocked from this feature.
☀ Stranded players do not have access to this feature.
