Imminent Auctions!

Written by: Ictinus, the Architect

Addressed to: Everyone


About an hour from now at the howling, a round of auctions will be going live! In total there are 10 credit auctions, 5 iron coin auctions, and 5 gold auctions.

This round we have a bit of a focus on customisation along with some old favourites, a new combat-relevant item, and a slew of premium items for gold.

Some notes:

- The auctions will run for 10 real days.
- Any artifacts bought through auctions (including gold items) cannot be traded in or have their powers transferred.
- Credit auctions do not require you to have the credits on hand to bid.
- Gold auctions do require you to have the gold on hand to bid.
- When auctions end, we allow a week to gather the winning bid amount. Failure to meet the bid amount after this time will result in loss of character until the cost is settled.
- Bound credits CAN be used to pay for auctions.
- HELP AUCTIONS and HELP AUCTIONHOUSE both have additional details.

- Bids are final, and we will not reverse mistakes. If something is not clear about an item, you are welcome to ask me for more details prior to bidding. Please be absolutely sure before placing a bid.

Without further ado, here are the listings that will go live when the time comes. You will also now be able to see information on the lots using AUCTION INFO <auction> once they're up.

CREDITS
--------

A suit of silver dragonscale armour
- This armour will never decay and can be worn by any class.
- Its stats will adjust automatically based on the class wearing it.
- It comes with 10 armour resistance in the element of the owner's choice (chosen at the point of purchase).

An agnostic weapon token
- The winner of this auction will gain the ability to use a different weapon in a single class of their choice, subject to Keroc's approval.
- For example, a bastard instead of a polearm for Carnifex, or a shortsword instead of a dagger for Syssin.
- If the class uses two weapons, we'll allow this to double up but both weapons will have to be the same.
- The winner can choose both the class and the weapon.
- The weapon will inherit the stats of your current (at the time of purchase/setup) best weapon in that class. This cannot be updated or changed.
- The weapon does not necessarily need to already exist (e.g you may want to use a butter knife for your assassinations!), but it does have to make mechanical sense (i.e damage type, two hand vs one), be setting appropriate, and at least loosely fit to the class theme.
- If you have an exotic combo in mind, I recommend asking us before bidding.

A mote of Yvalamon's flame
- With this item in their inventory, the owner will be able to FOMENT MOTE to create a firewall across every exit.
- This does not have a cooldown but will incur a long equilibrium penalty.

Custom wings token
- A custom set of wings (or alternative worn item) with a custom command word, and a custom portal room.
- Portal room must be appropriate to Aetolia's lore and setting.
- Room exits are subject to approval and generally must be in normal locations, and cannot be in cities.
- Same restrictions on use as the wings or caves artifacts.

Libram of transience
- Ownership of the Libram entitles the owner to free transfers of artifact powers between any of their owned artifacts.

Village shop token
- Open a shop in an NPC village of your choice, subject to RP and administrative approval.
- Your taxes will be set to the village in question, and the shop will be repossessed if you default on your bills.

A binding lasso
- Allows a player to use the Assassination BIND ability.

Custom unity token
- This token allows the owner to alter the text of their marriage line.
- This is subject to approval and has to make sense.

Relic token
- Redeem this token and claim any fully completed relic of your choosing.
- Venom rags are not available!

Neverending anabiotic pill
- As the name suggests, this anabiotic pill will never deplete, no matter how many times you eat it.

IRON COINS
----------

Relic piece token
- Redeem this token for any relic piece
- Artifact moulds are not included in this as an option anymore

Minipet claim token
- Redeem this token and claim any minipet that has previously been available via promotions.

Custom style token
- The winner of this auction will be able to work with the admin team to design a custom style scroll for themselves.
- You will be able to print copies of this scroll for 25 credits with the STYLE SPAWN <style> command.
- These are subject to approval and must be setting / lore appropriate.

Custom vox token
- The winner of this auction will be able to work with the admin team to design a custom vox iterator for themselves.
- These are subject to approval and must be setting / lore appropriate.

Elemental globes bundle
- The winner of this auction will receive 10 globes of elemental energy.
- These can be sold to other players or used yourself.
- These globes will have an extended decay time of 100 real days.

GOLD
----

Housing bundle
- The winner of this auction will receive 300 room credits and their choice of any housing feature (see HELP CASTLE COMMANDS) for no extra cost!

Compendium page bundle
- The winner of this token can exchange it for 5 compendium pages for the area of their choice.
- Area must already be part of available compendium options.

Weaponry artifact package
- The winner of this auction will receive an artifact weaponbelt with the fastening power built in, as well as a level 3 weapon stat rune.

Artifact pet token
- Entitles the owner to a customised pet package as outlined in HELP PETS.
- This includes add-ons 1-4, and 10 reactions.

Cryptic chests bundle
- The winner of this auction can claim 10 cryptic chests. (These are the new chests with better odds, not old ones!)

Good luck!
