Antiques Dealer

Forge of Empires Antiques Dealer Watcher

The Antiques Dealer rotates six slots and runs an auction beside them, and the thing you wanted was usually there yesterday. Defiant watches both, tells you the moment a watched item turns up, and keeps a record of every offer so you can see the pattern instead of guessing at it.

Screenshot coming soon The Antiques Dealer window with today's six shop slots, the live auction, and the watchlist.

Today's shop in full

All six slots with name, type, rarity flag, cost, and how many remain.

The auction, live

Current top bid, who placed it, and how long until the auction transitions.

A watchlist that matches loosely

One term can catch fragments, kits, and the full item, so you do not need a separate entry for each form.

Search the server catalog

Watch items before you have ever owned or seen one locally, by searching the server-backed Antiques catalog.

Cache you can refresh

The server catalog cache keeps searches quick, and can be pulled fresh when you want the newest item list.

Alerts you can act on

A watched item appearing raises an alert with the row highlighted in the shop; alerts can be ignored for 24 hours or removed from the alert window itself.

Works with the panel closed

Background alerts fire on every shop refresh the game pulls, whether or not you are looking at the panel.

A record that builds itself

Every item the dealer has ever offered is recorded automatically, so patterns come from what you have actually seen.

Off when it does not apply

Disables itself automatically when the Antiques Dealer is not unlocked on the current world or account.

How it works

  1. Open the Antiques Dealer in Forge of Empires so today's shop and the current auction are loaded.
  2. Add watch terms by hand, from the server catalog search, or straight from an item in Inventory Insight.
  3. Leave the panel to it — background alerts fire on every shop refresh the game pulls.
  4. When an alert arrives, the matching row is highlighted in the shop so you can see what triggered it.
  5. Ignore an alert for 24 hours, or remove the watch entirely, directly from the alert window.

Questions

Does it buy anything for me?
No. It watches and alerts. Bidding and buying stay your decision.
Can I watch an item I have never seen?
Yes. The server-backed Antiques catalog can be searched directly, so a watch does not depend on the item having passed through your own shop first.
Do alerts work when the panel is closed?
Yes. Background alerts are checked on every shop refresh the game pulls, not only while the Antiques window is open.
What if the dealer is not unlocked on my world?
The watcher disables itself automatically rather than reporting errors against a feature that is not there.
Where do the exchange values come from?
From cached dealer prices. Inventory Insight shows the two-hour exchange value for an item when a price has been seen for it, and shows nothing when one has not.
