Dark and Darker Marketplace and Trading Post Now Open

Trading is on

Early Access Season 11 opened on October 9 with a two-week Solo Self Found event: no trading, no Marketplace, no Trading Post — whatever you carried out of the dungeon, you found yourself. That window ended today, October 23, on the schedule IRONMACE set in its Season 11 announcement, and both the Marketplace and the Trading Post are now open for the rest of the season. Item and gold trading between players is possible for the first time this season, and every price in this game’s economy starts forming from today.

The season so far

Reclamation began with a full wipe and a dungeon overhaul built around the returning Dark Swarm, which light sources now protect you from. Solo, Duo and Trio queues were unified into one matchmaking pool with Gear Score brackets, entry requirements were removed, primary attributes came off item rarity, and classic mechanics returned — Fog of War, solo escape stairs and randomized layouts — alongside Custom Play modes and new Bard and Warlock perks, skills and spells. A Halloween event is running in-season, and Arena Season 4 begins October 30, when the Twitch Drops campaign also ends.

What it means for buyers

Two weeks of self-found gear now meets an open market, and the first days of that market are its least settled: early listings are guesses until real volume sets prices, and the sellers restocking gold today are working from two weeks of their own play. If you are buying Dark and Darker gold or items this week, expect prices to move daily, start with a small first order, and use the reviewed sellers on our Dark and Darker page rather than whoever lists cheapest on day one.

What it means for buyers

Dark and Darker gold and item prices for Season 11 start forming today. The first days of an open market are the most volatile — and the most scam-prone — so start small and use reviewed sellers.
