About - FFXIAH.com

FFXIAH.com was originally created with the goal of allowing players of Final Fantasy XI to view in-game auction house information on all 32 virtual worlds from their browser window. The permanent nature of the data recording allows the transaction database to track economic status and estimate item prices automatically. We are continually expanding our database and website with increasingly powerful tools and social features for registered users.
