Key points
- NC re-enabled the Auction House, offers purchasable with Lucent or Loyalty Points, and server transfers on Wednesday, November 12 at 6:00 PM PT (November 13, 2:00 AM UTC), after confirming service stability following the handover from Amazon Games.
- That is six days ahead of the November 18 date in the phased-resumption schedule, which had said the Auction House “may open earlier” if servers stayed stable — and it did.
- One restriction remains: Archboss Weapons stay untradeable until the next scheduled maintenance on November 17 PT / November 18 UTC.
- The full Special Shop — Lucent items, cash items, and platform stores — is still set for Wednesday, November 18 (KST).
- The free Character Boost Ticket (claim November 11–December 16) takes a character to level 60, per the official Steam notes — not 75, as some press reported.
- This supersedes our November 11 story, which said the Auction House stayed closed with no reopening date — that story has been updated.
Open again, six days early
The Auction House is open again — sooner than NC’s own schedule said. NC re-enabled the Auction House, offers purchasable with Lucent or Loyalty Points, and server transfers on Wednesday, November 12 at 6:00 PM PT (November 13, 2:00 AM UTC), after confirming service stability following the handover from Amazon Games. That is six days ahead of the November 18 date in the phased-resumption schedule, which had said the Auction House “may open earlier” if servers stayed stable — and it did.
What is still shut, and for how long
One restriction remains: Archboss Weapons stay untradeable until the next scheduled maintenance on November 17 PT / November 18 UTC. The full Special Shop — Lucent items, cash items, and platform stores — is still set for Wednesday, November 18 (KST). Asia and Oceania server consolidations are planned for December, with the maintenance window on December 16.
The boost is 60, not 75
The free Character Boost Ticket (claim November 11–December 16) and the Nix’s Converging Border 35-day login event continue as before. One figure is now settled: per the official Steam update notes, the ticket advances a character to level 60 at about 9,000 Combat Power. Some press coverage said 75 — that was wrong, and 60 is the figure this story uses.
What it means for buyers
Trading is open again, so listings that need the Auction House to settle can settle — but Archboss Weapons stay frozen until the November 17 PT / November 18 UTC maintenance, so do not pay for one expecting to trade it this week. The free boost to level 60 costs nothing and works on an existing character, so there is no reason to pay anyone for a leveled account to get it. See the Throne and Liberty page for the verified sellers listed there.
