Official: Q4 Auction Details

[SashaFierce]

Here is (most of) the long-awaited information on the Q4 Auction.

Dates and Time

We are still working out the details of the dates. December 17th and 18th are still the dates that the auction will occur. But a schedule will be available closer to the auction. There are two possible scenarios where plans may change here. We may run Prime on the 17th and Platinum on the 18th. This will only occur if we can get through the auction in a single day. If we cannot, then both instances will run at the same time on both the 17th and 18th.

Location

We will announce the location of the auction as we get closer to the dates.

Participation

We will have two tents, one for Premium subscribers and one for all paid subscribers. Premium (and Platinum) can go into either tent, but Prime (Basic) can only go into the tent for all paid subscribers. F2P will need to upgrade to a paid subscription to participate.

We will not be holding this specific auction in Shattered, but the items will be made available through another venue.

Character Creation and Premium Subscription

There will be a cut off to character creation and Premium subscription to enter the auction. Character creation will encompass rerolling/starting over. The exact date for both of these will not be supplied, but there is time as of this post to get things straightened out. I'd not wait too long.

Bidding

You will need all the silver and/or notes on your person at the time of BIDing. The bidding mechanics validate the silvers on your character at the time you type BID [amount]. Coin hands, pouches, banks, gambling kits, and any other silver storing item do not get accounted for when checking your silver amounts.

Limitations

Each account will be limited to one win.

Passed Items

Items that do not receive any bids will not be returning for another round of bidding during the Q4 auctions.

Item Details: Pre-Auction

The items we post about are teasers. We will not be giving detailed listings of items before the event.

Item Details: In-Auction

We will give you as much information as we can about the items -- our goal is not to trick you. Some items may have properties that have a bit of discovery though, so everything may not be spelled out. An item list will be available in the auction rooms.

Item Details: Post-Auction

You are welcome to post about your auction item soon after you pick up your newfound treasure. You can post questions about your item, if you're having trouble, but try to discover the properties of an item as best as you can before seeking answers from the creators.

>>The premium vs regular tent - is there different items that go up for sale or just to split people up a bit more but bid on the same items?

The items will be split between the two tents. The nature of this auction has a lot of unique one-of-a-kind items for sale, so each tent will be seeing items that are "one and done."

>>If we can't make it to the first half of the auction, is it okay to show up late?

Yes. You can come and go as you please. We'll have a loose schedule posted closer to the auction dates.

>>Do you have a current ballpark estimate for total number of items?

Yes, but I'm waiting for QC to wrap up before talking about this. Unfortunately, QC has until December 15th, so the numbers won't really be revealed until auction time.

>>I'd like to ask for a split Sat/Sun auction if at all possible.

Scheduling is going to boil down to auctioneers availability and getting the auction mechanics time down a little better.

That tanto seems meh.

[Narthsin]

That tanto seems meh.

Nice try.

[drauz]

Nice try.

I don't even have an active account at the moment, but ok.

[Fallen]

I think the tanto is neat. 6x ECW and essentially has an extra 15 points of weighting on one creature every 30 mins. Great for bounties. Double swing flares too. Almost missed that it can store health/stamina as well.

[Androidpk]

If you're ambushing eyes with a dagger how much does crit weighting actually help?

[drauz]

I still think its waste on a dagger. First you probably aren't needing to swing a second time because you are ambushing with a dagger. Crit weighting from ambushing alone generally gives you more than enough crit to kill. The health and stamina regen are the high points to me, but even those are meh in my opinion on a dagger. This would be amazing on a THW or basically any weapon that isn't a dagger or rapier.

I'm sure theres something I'm missing, but on a dagger it just seems meh.

Re-reading the post it looks like the ECW may not be a permanent +15 and only available once every 30 minutes when waved.

[chalion]

Re-reading the post it looks like the ECW may not be a permanent +15 and only available once every 30 minutes when waved.

You would be wrong

The wave ability removes 15 points of padding from the target. The weighting on the tanto itself is perm.

[Warriorbird]

That tanto is badass. I'd want it if I liked GS daggers.

[Donquix]

Breakdown of item types, i just threw all the non-weapons/armor down as other because I'm not motivated enough to count all of those.
If the count is off I grabbed the list from the google doc, it's missing a couple random things :D

tl;dr - that's a lot of god damn runestaves (12% of the entire auction was runestaves, ~36% of the weapons, ~30% the armor/weapon/shield items)


armor|13
weapon|58
shield|1
other |89

medium|1

I counted the bastard swords for both the OHE/THW.
Counted xbows/bows and quivers for ranged (including ronan's kiss)
Weapon certificates counted correctly.
Bandos are counted as thrown
Didn't count the Neptune harpoon as thrown, could have maybe.

edit: neptune harpoon not staff

[Roblar]

Didn't count the Neptune staff as thrown, could have maybe.

Do you mean the harpoon polearm/thrown? May have affected number counts if you put it down as a staff.

[SashaFierce]

I changed the list order to show most expensive to least expensive.

[Mogonis]

krodera|0

[allen]

Now for getting the stats on everything..

[Donquix]

Do you mean the harpoon polearm/thrown? May have affected number counts if you put it down as a staff.

Sorry yeah, meant neptune spear. I counted it as a pole.

Edit: Derp, I didn't see it was already on page 1. Sorry.
