Enchanted gear goes to the highest bidder in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Finding the right enchanted weapon or piece of armor in Morrowind usually means searching shops, exploring ruins, or hoping the next piece of loot happens to suit your character. InigoCow's Auction adds a more competitive alternative. Five auction houses across Vvardenfell and Mournhold offer four enchanted items each week, complete with equipment statistics and enchantment details. You can inspect what's on offer and bid against other buyers rather than simply accepting a merchant's asking price.

The system gives established characters another reason to revisit familiar cities, while an optional Tamriel Rebuilt expansion brings auction houses to five mainland locations. This is specifically an OpenMW mod, requiring version 0.51 or newer and the game's expansions. It doesn't support the original Morrowind executable. For players who enjoy the game's economy as much as its dungeons, there's something appealing about letting a little market competition decide who walks away with the treasure.
