Escape from Tarkov price alerts: watch an item without constant searches

A price alert turns a repeated search into a watchlist rule. Choose an exact item, the right game mode and a target that would change your purchase or sale plan.

Your next three steps

  1. Choose an exact item

    Open Price alerts from the Market toolbar and search for the item. Set an at-or-below target for a purchase opportunity or an at-or-above target for a value you want to notice. The rule records its own game mode.

  2. Set the target and direction

    Alerts evaluate refreshed flea quotes rather than every individual offer posted in the game. The price must be available and sufficiently recent. A notification is a prompt to check the current market, not a reservation or an automatic purchase.

  3. Review sound and enabled state

    Disable or delete rules when the plan changes. Price alerts work while the app is in the tray and follow notification sound settings. They rearm after the price leaves the target condition and use a notification cooldown to avoid repeated noise around the same price.

Define a useful condition

Open Price alerts from the Market toolbar and search for the item. Set an at-or-below target for a purchase opportunity or an at-or-above target for a value you want to notice. The rule records its own game mode.

Use a price that would make a practical difference rather than adding alerts for every item you might use someday. A short watchlist is easier to maintain and produces notifications that are more likely to be useful.
