Deed for extra 20 spending points on a levelable weapon.

Just a question on this. If my weapon already lvl 100, can I still apply this deed to get 20 more spending points?

Yep, even if it's already at level 100. You get 20 extra points which you can apply to whatever bonus you'd like.

I ran an interesting quick statistic when we started. I pulled the usernames of all people in the room, and I just cross-referenced that with the gold wealth of every player. The gold-wealth calculating code is a bit old and might not be completely reliable, but it basically counts all gold in bank/pack/exex, also the value of all houses. But let's say, most people who came to the auction were carrying lots of gold, so this is the firepower at everyone's disposal:
10,185,721,345 gold.

On a related note, there were 4 billionaires, and 75 players with over 100mil at their disposal. After the auction, there are now 2 billionaires and 76 players with more than 100mil.

Wil: You have the double "Change Weapon Specials" in your list, the first 190mil one was undone.

"psych!" (pronounced like "sike") is slang used to indicate that whatever the person speaking just said was done so purely to mess with the listener's mind, to 'psych' them out

Howdy,

Will the auction items be posted before the auction? I'd like to know where the shore house is.

Regards,

Thanks for the lists Wil, very useful.

Thanks for the auction +C. Apologies for the salty comments re the timing and notice. You put a lot of time into these, know it's appreciated. This was also by far the most amazing list of items at a grand auction.

That change hit X to Y deed is something I've been dreaming of for years, I never thought it would get made due to its power level, it's basically a build your own ancient+ weapon. Thanks +C for applying it promptly and putting it in the auction! Was amazed to snag it for only 250m. Used it to change the HLA to Energy AoE on my 7x60 dread sword.

Yes thank you +C for both of these auctions over the weekend. Was pleased to be able to attend my second auction in almost 6 years here (always fall when I have been working as a rule).

Also agree with Mr Warren - Thanks Wil for providing the results data. Very useful for future reference for $$ needed to be able to compete for items

Merry Xmas & New Years to all. Play/Live safe & have fun!!
