They're inked.

inked or named? (do'h, they'd show up on named items pages if they were, they must have been inked)

Um I see what he's saying, Expired auction History for Halidon Familiars. I checked myself as you can see above and well you can see it is clean of anything else. Maybe is was just a fluke.

AdminShade February 20 2010 10:27 PM EST

I see it as well.

Expired auctions, listed by end time when searching on Halidon.

QBRanger February 20 2010 10:38 PM EST

Probably the search expired auctions keeps the item number in its history. And if it has been inked, liked others state, the program does not realize that. It only knows the number.

The past prices found via the wiki perhaps filters both by number and current type.

But you can avoid seeing the other types of familiars if you type in the EXACT name such as: A Halidon Familiar

This was an issue previously brought up about a year ago so I suspect it is not high on the "to do" list for the developers as it is not very important.

It's desirable to have a past auction search reveal items as they were at the time of the auction, and not as they are now. Otherwise, price histories would be useless.

QBRanger February 21 2010 11:16 AM EST

Then can we get the wiki link fixed to reflect the same as past auctions?

AdminNightStrike February 21 2010 5:37 PM EST

It's a wiki....

QBRanger February 21 2010 5:39 PM EST

AH,

I personally would have little expertise in fixing the wiki, perhaps someone else can.
