Lost Ark Auction Calculator: Fair Bid Price for Raid Loot
Lost Ark Auction Calculator
When an auctioned item drops in a Lost Ark Legion Commander Raid or Abyss Dungeon, this tool instantly calculates the bid that keeps the loot fair for all party members.
How the Calculation Works
Fair-split bid formula:
Bid price = (Market price after 5% fee) × (Party size − 1) ÷ Party size
Max-gain bid formula:
Bid price = Fair-split bid ÷ 1.1
The 5% marketplace fee is automatically deducted from the market price.
Term Reference
Fair-split bid: The price at which the winner and all non-winners end up with equal gold value. Use this when the party’s primary goal is equity.
Max-gain bid: The price that maximizes the winner’s gold gain while still being below the fair-split amount. Only use this with prior party agreement. It will be lower than the fair-split bid.
Example
Market price: 100,000 gold, 4-person party:
- Marketplace fee (5%): 5,000 gold
- Distributable amount: 95,000 gold
- Fair-split bid: 71,250 gold (all 4 members gain ~23,750 gold equally)
- Max-gain bid: 64,772 gold (winner maximizes gold profit)
