Crafting.gg published an interesting blog post on the impact of region-wide Auction House commodities in Patch 9.2.7 and calculated that almost 98% of Auction House volume are commodity items.
In Patch 9.2.7, all commodity items (herbs, flasks, gems, ores…) will be combined for the whole region.
Crafting.gg looked at the data and listed the average volume of items on the Auction House that are commodities and non-commodities over the past week.
Before we dive into it, just a quick note that a stack of 200 herbs counts as 200 toward the total volume of items. Below is the full data for the Auction Houses in the US/EU regions.
