The Grand Auction [12/18/2016] has come--and gone-- on this relatively freezing day, and here are some of the more interesting highlights I witnessed while in attendance.

   It began with hosts Domino and Zoe, dressed in fitting holiday attire, and a brief appearance by Expo-- who disappeared somewhere soon after. Then, Zoe began the auction by reading, aloud, the auction rules, and then explaining that Domino was handling all exchanges for the day. Zoe then reminded us all that the display pedestal would change colors, and what each colored represented when it came down to the type of currency being used to bid with. Finally, with the room as silent as a mouse, the first item up for bid was brought out. It happened to be a shiny, newly minted--by Santa's elves--, tool kit/key.

   Needless to say, 100 Evo coins-- bid by me-- was not enough to secure the tool kit, but it was all in good fun in the end. You see, this was my first Auction in almost 2 years, and I must say it was a thrill. Things haven't changed much in that amount of time though. There are a lot of awesome items up for grabs, of course, but some of the bids are pure madness. As it is not my place to question the communities sanity on the matter, I will not share any further thoughts I held while the auction unfolded before my eyes.

   I will, however, give you a list of some of the more interesting things I saw today. Included will be the currency type and the final--winning-- bid amount. All names are kept off record of course, but if you were there then you know who the high rollers were.

*Tool Kit/Key = more then 100+ (I forgot to write the final bid down, but it was the first item up for bid so it is mentioned here)

*Butchers Hook = 2450  (which left me speechless to say the least) 

*ASH Box = 3.5mil  (holds all of your ancient smithing hammer needs)


*100 ED's = 10mil

*Everlasting Band-aid: Enhanced Edition --- 10% Heal Bonus = 178mil

*Dark Fathers Robe =195mil

*Santa's Everlasting Present = 160mil  (a new auction item, which grants a gift on the 25th of every month)

*Enchanted Candy Cane = 121mil    [also new] (a 5 slot augmentation with +10 animal taming & +10 animal lore)

*Bag of Fishing Augmentations (3) = 500

*Bag of Bushido Augmentations (3) = 2k

*Battle-Worn Legs of Vecna = 5k  (this was the auctions high, and low, point (miss bid) but in the end it was resolved smoothly) 

*Glacial Ice = 800  (4 slot augmentation with +25% area cold increase, +5% chance to gain Pit points, and it changes the weapon to ice)

*+300 Luck Deed = 700

*20 Captured Essences = 60


   In addition to what I've listed above there were plenty of decorations up for bid at the auction; a lot of which went for tokens. I fail to mention these items on purpose. Call me lazy, if you must, but I had to draw the line somewhere, and it is--in my opinion-- hard to accurately account for a decoration deeds value. The auction did end with some 'Mystery Boxes' which all went for around 3 to 4.5k ED's. What was inside of each, was anyone's guess. I do, however, have it on good authority that the items inside were valued at around 3k ED or more. Hope you enjoyed this Grand Auction Review, and I'd like to use the final words of my post to thank the Staff for being awesome, as always.

Thank you for the re-cap Sturger.  I missed the smooth resolution on the Battle-Worn Vecna Legs, were they sold and now in-game, or were they *poofed*?


We added a pair to the raffle stone!

  Another Grand Auction [01/15/2017] has been delivered on this relatively, chill, wet day in the early days of 2017.

  I am sorry to say I was no in attendance, this Sunday. Instead I was off spending much needed quality time with my wife. You might wonder where I gained all the knowledge I've presented below, and I would smile at you and say, "an editor must always have a source to rely one."

 This fact is true, and I will take the time now to thank my friend for her efforts on the 15th. She has done an admirable job, which I must admit, made this write up easy peezy.

"If you get a piece of the [Uisneach's Alchemy Garb].. between 10-20, will be the maximum stage  the item can be leveled up to"

"You have even chances for any of the [Uisneach's Alchemy Garb] piece to drop-- or 1 of the two deeds--(Jump to Next Stage //or// Max Stage Increase)--to drop from the [Uisneach's Alchemy Garb] mystery chest."

"The [Uisneach's Alchemy Garb]--Jump to Next Stage-- deed, could be worth 1,000's of leprechaun gold if applied to a piece of alchemy garb at a higher stage level."

"The [Uisneach's Alchemy Garb]--Max Stage Increase-- deed, can get you to those time consuming, hard to reach, higher alchemy garb stages faster."
