Auction May 16th, 2020

Post by +Colibri »

Here's what will be for sale at the auction this Saturday, May 16th at 20:00 shard time (that's 4pm US-eastern, 1pm US-pacific).

These items are also on display at the Auction Display Room (Towncenter -> Auction hall -> through the green gate). If you have any questions, please reply to this thread. Usually, we try to squeeze in some information and answers at the last moment, when everyone's already bidding on the item. But now that it's posted in advance, we can figure all this out in a much more relaxing way :)

Titan's hammer
Ethereal Centaur
Ethereal Dye Tub
Ethereal Mount De-etherializer tub

Deed for a sea serpent spawner at your house
Deed for a dolphin spawner at your house
Large BOD of your choice
Runic Tinker's Tools (500 uses)
Runic Smithy Hammer (500 uses)
Bracelet of Sha'am bonus slots (+10 capacity)

Flower Boat
Table With Cards
Creature Display Case
Casino Table South
Catapult East
Harvest Kill
Campsite
Bloody Bates Picture
Decorative Teleporter (variant #2)
Decorative Teleporter (variant #5)
Sitting Area 4
Bloody Sacrifice
Bloody Scarecrow

There's also a "mongbat on perch" on my todo list since the previous auction, if I manage to code it it will also be added.

The auction 1 week later is likely to take place as well (not yet confirmed, i'd say 80% likely). The next auction will have a water house, an ancient yumi... and I'm thinking it might be about time for another Instanced Housing Land (so far we've sold 2, there's some coding that needs to be done before I can safely make more).

What do the "decorative teleporters" do?

Also FYI all, a couple of items can be bought for pretty cheap prices on vendors. I have the bloody scarecrows at 200k on my vendor, Ive seen runic tools with 500 uses for only 400k or so on vendors too. Do your research before you bid people and save millions.

the decorative teleporters are just floor deco that can be placed over a house to house tile or a personal world teleporter

Some of the deco is actually really neat. I quite like flowerboat, campsite and bloody sacrifice.

*Plots to self* "Do I hedge on winning the water house in the next auction and go for both the dolphin and sea serpent...."

Decorative teleporters: just decorative, it's the teleporter designs you can see in Jhelom.

The ethereal mounts are 0 slot. Although this wasn't a rule until now, since all veteran ethies of 1+ year are zero-slot, these auction ones should be as well.

Thanks for the headsup on scarecrows. I don't yet have a cross-reference of where these items can be obtained, some of the stuff we sold at auctions initially we then made available elsewhere, but there's no record of it. If it doesnt sell for a million, we'll just sell it again at the end of the auction with a much smaller starting bid.

the old pre-patch vet reward 1+ year ethy mounts are all zero slot but the new ones that bind on use are not all zero slot. i dont have any of the new ones so if you did change them all to zero slot i wouldnt have noticed.

The Sphinx I got a couple of auctions ago is not 0 slot, should it be?

The ethies sold in previous auctions were sold as 1-slot and will remain unchanged. Ethies sold from now on will be 0 slot. If ethies from sold at previous auctions were zero slot as well, they would probably go for a higher price at the time - everyone at the auction were bidding on the item as it was, it cannot be retroactively changed.

It's always interesting to see people pay more for items at auction that they could buy off of vendors directly. Makes no sense.
