Market Price
The live Jita price on every item page: the current price, the 30-day trend and a sparkline, pulled straight from ESI.
What you'll find here
The live market price, on every item page. Where a type is actually trading at Jita — the busiest market in New Eden — is shown as the current price in ISK, the change over the last 30 days, and a small sparkline of that trend. It is pulled straight from the public ESI market feed, so it reflects real prices rather than the static base value from the game data.
How to use it
-
1
Open any item. Browse the market or search for a type and open its page.
-
2
Read the market panel. The "Market (Jita)" panel in the sidebar — and the price chip in the page header — show the current price in ISK.
-
3
Check the trend. The 30-day change is shown as a percentage — green when the price is up, red when it is down — alongside a sparkline of the last 30 days, the period low and high, and the date the figures were last refreshed.
EVE context
Every item page carries the static base value from the game data, but that number is a list price, not a market price. What a type actually sells for is set by supply and demand, and it moves — a surge in demand for a mining ore, a new ship that uses a particular module, a market flooded after a large drop. Knowing the live price is the difference between a good trade and a bad one.
Jita is used as the reference market because it is the largest and most liquid in New Eden, so its price is the best single number for "what is this worth right now." The figures come from the public ESI market API and are refreshed on a short cache, so they track the live market without hammering the API on every page view.
If an item has no Jita market data the panel is simply hidden — not every type is traded, and a missing price is more honest than a guess.
