How to Win Porto Marinada Auctions

Find the Minimum Winning Bid

During an auction, there will always be a minimum winning bid the player must reach if they want to win.

However, finding this minimum bid can be tricky because it only applies to the player. If one of the two NPC buyers bows out of the auction and the player hasn't made a bid yet, the other NPC will win.

If you lose the auction or pay too much for the item, we recommend save scumming so you can work out the minimum winning bid price and get the item as cheaply as possible.

Some bids start high

Several auctions will feature rare items that you won't be able to easily get in normal methods, and the bidding price will start high. For example, Apriballs are offered at the starting bid of ₽100,000.

Naturally, this can get even higher as other NPCs will vie to get the item, blowing up the bid. It is best toi prep you wallet if you are planning to participate at highly-priced auctions!

Always Make Other Buyers Bid Lower than Minimum Winning Bid

To get an auction item as cheaply as you can always make sure other buyers bid ₽500 or ₽1,000 lower than the minimum winning bid.

This entails a mix of bidding conservatively, and using the "I'll pass for now" option to make sure you don't end up raising the final winning bid price too much. Except at the start of an auction, you can increase your bid by ₽500 or ₽1,000, which can amp up the auction price very quickly if you're not careful.

Don't use the "I'll pass for now" option too much, however, as the items might go to an NPC instead.
