After the group's first visit to Treno, return to
the King's Mansion and to the auction. You may want
to do this side quest as it holds many important
items, Key Items, and certain items that lead to
an extremely rare and valuable weapon.
When you enter the mansion, the auctioneer will
list the items for sale on that day, if an item
pleases you, stay and bid for it, if not, exit and
re-enter for a refreshed list of items up for bid.
When you are ready, walk up to the front of the
auctioneer and a ? symbol will be apparent over
your head. If you click X to bid for an item, you
will automatically raise 100 Gil on the last bid
on that item, if others don't battle you over the
item, the auctioneer will perform the countdown
and you will receive the item.
A few tips to the trade. Let the nobles have their
little bidding war before you put your bid on the
item you want. Most times if you keep clicking X
to get the item, nobles will throw in fake bids
to jack up the price as they know you'll outbid
them anyway. Wait for them to stop bidding and right
before the auctioneer sells the item, put your bid
in. You will save money and profit from resale value
this way.
Here is a list of rare items and Key Items you can
acquire at the auction: Mini-Cid, Griffin's Heart,
Doga's Artifact, Une's Mirror, the Magical Fingertip,
and the Rat Tail. Some of these items have appeared
in earlier FF titles and have very strange uses
in FFIX. You can also resell some of these items
to nobles roaming Treno for profit if you put your
bids down like a pro.
Auction Items Resale
Some nobles roaming the streets of Treno and even
some scholars in shops will take interest in some
items you can acquire at the auction. You can sell
these items to them if you see no point in keeping
them. Most of these people will jack up their offers
for the item. Just keep in mind, the Adventurer
won't buy the Rats Tail until you sell him the Griffin's
Heart and the Scholar won't raise his offer of 10,000
Gil for the Doga's Artifact. Below is the list:
