Ebon Gate Wheel and Deal

[BriarFox]

In the tradition of the CCF thread, people might use this one to post what they're looking for and what they'll pay or trade for it.

Personally, I'm not going to the auction (who the heck put it on Halloween?), but I'd buy or trade for these pieces below. If you win them at the auction, just let me know. We'll work something out.

I want a set of the Tonis gloves and boots. Everything else is secondary.

I have for trade:
2. 8x spiked/acid flaring scripted hauberk, 14lbs
8. 7x dcw short sword that morphs into a cane
9. 7x studded leathers
10. 7x fulls
15. A lot of coins, and other random stuff

[Androidpk]

I'm not going either but I'm damn interested in the GoS lance. The TD boosting half plate as well :)

[Onar]

For the moment, I am just going to stick to Ebon's Gate.

I'd like the Cloak of Shadows. If you win it, I'd be willing to buy it directly from you. I am also willing to work out a deal -- within reason -- where I can try to win an item in the Silver auction for you.

[Senglent]

With this many great items I can see a lot of deals going on to try to secure things.

Great idea Briar to have a thread on who is looking for what. If you want x or someone else does... Hell they could toss you xxxx item or xxxx coins so you could get it and get xxxx handling fee.

Kinda leaves it to who you can trust in some situations but most know who is trustworthy from experience by now... or at least I hope so.

[Durgrimst]

I just got done moving cross country and I will be attending on a friends account probably but....

I will pay/trade stupidly well for the following items:

a black rolaren war hammer, Guardians of the Sunfist weapon
an ethereal string (if this is the item to make a weapon a returner)
a forest green soft leather pouch, pet

I have to offer:

6x sanct returning handaxe
4x lightning flaring handaxe bandolier
And lots of cash/coins, I am more than willing to work out any deals necessary!!!!!!

[WRoss]

Meureuii!

[Lucos]

Looking at the Cloak of Shadows myself.

[Shimeria]

I'm interested in silvers, cash or combo of both...if you PM me how much an item is worth to you and it's a token item I can toss mine in, hope I'm lucky and sell it to you...if it's a silver auction item, lets talk and see what you feel comfortable doing.

[kookiegod]

Obviously values will vary on both sides, but willing to work out deals! :) Other gear possibly available, never know unless you ask!

[Lumi]

Out of curiosity, who is actually intending to (try to) acquire the mobile properties?

Interested in:

Tonis boots
GoS Lance
Mist Harbor cottage
Thurfel's Ward cloak
fixstat potion
GoS runestaff

I don't have much in the way of toys. In theory, I might part with my altered FGB, but mostly I've just got coin (and perhaps whatever I manage to win) to trade.

[Archigeek]

Wanting:

The string
Tonis gloves and boots
Self-knowledge heroism ring
Encumberance reducing glove.

Offering:

3x/3x AS/DS zelnorn metal breastplate of goodness (why settle for spell knowledge or an enhancer when you can have +15 to AS without all the fuss?)
9700 premium points
+18 long bow with +14 ranged bonus and +2 intuition bonus
5x Ilthorn greatshield with +10 shield use
Coins

PS: Also wanting the ilthorn leg greaves that are +12 thrown/+12 shield use. Not part of this auction, but just sayin...

[WRoss]

wanted

permabless slot
tonis gloves
blink battle axe

silvers

I'll run through the list again and add items

[Inspire]

Wanted:

Everything.

Trades

Unlimited teleport cloak.

[thefarmer]

I kind of want one of the properties so I can turn it into a farm.

Haven't had much time to look at the list too closely though.

[Ardwen]

I imagine the insane minimums are limiting interest in the mobiles severely, as in less then 5 people are now interested in them. Most of whom arent reading these boards apparently.

[Moonwitch]

Did you see the plow for sale off the shelf in plat at EG Farmer?

[Originate]

I am really hoping more than anything I win the coraesine handaxe. But since it bonds to the winner, there is nothing I trade. I just hope I am one of a few..

[Widgets]

As much as I like my flamberge, I really don't see a huge "Wow" factor with most coraesine weapons. Granted it would likely be better for someone who swings alot in the open, a berserker and such....I just don't really see how people like them as much as they do.

Hell, I hardly use the special features of mine, and would probably easily trade it for a different THW if I could.

[Originate]

I am willing to change from a ranger using ranged,to OHE. I think hunting the rift would be fun with it. Especially now that you can hide.

[Lord Orbstar]

I would like to get my hands on any of the shadowdeath weapons.
also would like a pair of the wings
also would like the ... a lot of other shit.

====

have +40 reinforced myklian scale armor (DCP, temp HCP)
+20 perfect forged short sword with acid and cold flares (switchable)
a couple other things.

There's a SD dagger for sale over at GSAuctions too. I think around 35mil last I saw, but I could be wrong

[Khariz]

I'll probably be interesting in buying any of the twohanders that people end up not wanting. I'd like to get the lightning sword a try for giggles.

[Androidpk]

Do you know what it does?

[AKOE!]

I'm not going to the auction either but these are a few things I would want if I did....

a pair of thick linen hand-wraps
- +5 brawling bonus, +5 dodge bonus, +5 constitution bonus

a sturdy woven reed basket
- Lassaran/Sylvan dyes

a forest green soft leather pouch
- pet

a scaled knife
- whittling knife

bottomless quiver

--offering--
some spiked vultite leg greaves - disintegration and spike flares
a blood red ruby ring - self charging heal 1 ring -
lots of other stuff
coins

[Khariz]

Do you know what it does?

Nope, that's why I want it. I'll do research and crunch numbers.

[Androidpk]

Maybe something awesome like flare CoL on every swing :D

[Lumi]

I have my eye on the Tonis boots now that we have more info on those items.

[Androidpk]

I was a little interested in the trollslayer bastard sword until I found out it doesn't work against grimswarm. :(

[Lumi]

I was a little interested in the trollslayer bastard sword until I found out it doesn't work against grimswarm. :(

Which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Grim trolls act like trolls in every other sense (fire vulnerability, regen). So do the orcs and giants. Is there seriously no "type" field for monsters that the weapon could reference?

[crb]

tonis boots
1750 tome
dauntless tattoo
entwined wand
spirit gloves maybe (sorry evarin, but not alot of good magical stuff)
song of mirrors gorget from 2006
mystic focus runestaff
permanent stat bonus item if it is to bonus, and not stat, and if it is aura or dex, if it is just 8 to stat (4 to bonus) fuck it, treasure system enhancives are better, ya, they're not "permanent" But they're cheap to recharge.
heroism ring (I guarantee I do not want it as bad as others do, like probably rimalon, so...)
1612 runestaff
firestorm bangle
encumberance glove
maybe "spectacles of something" if they do something cool
fixstat potion (I would buy it off the winner for the right price, ain't bidding)
spellup runestaff maybe

stuff I have:

Coins
whatever I win at the auction
anything else I own I'm keeping or it is already for sale.

[Drunken Durfin]

heroism ring (I guarantee I do not want it as bad as others do, like probably rimalon, so...)

Durfin = one of the others.

[Androidpk]

What happens to items they create if they get passed on, release them at a later date?

[thefarmer]

Sometimes nothing. Other times they get recycled into the next auction.

Heck sometimes they recycle other items to put into the auction. Belnia and I have an item that was released three times last year at an event and now it's in the auction. When we got them they were supposed to be limited to just the event.

Which one's that?

[Rimalon]

I'm out of the running for the heroism ring. Fuck that thing, after realizing that it's going to cost hundreds of thousands of BPs to recharge.

[Drunken Durfin]

One down!

[crb]

I'm out of the running for the heroism ring. Fuck that thing, after realizing that it's going to cost hundreds of thousands of BPs to recharge.

I'm not sure if casting the spell while wearing it influences charge depletion, but, if so, a solution would be to cast heroism from a scroll or item, then wear the ring only prior to entering the rift, merely as spell strip protection.

I personally never plan to hunt the rift again (1999-2002 was enough thank you), I've invested way too much into wearing outside spells for me to go somewhere that disallows it. So, I know the heroism item isn't as valuable to me as it is to others.

Plus, I get a bitching duration when invoking it, far better than duration from self knowledge, funny how that works.

[AKOE!]

hehe. I'm glad most of the stuff I want isn't very sought after

Hmm, good point, I might ease back on the MIU and AS now that I'm at the rift permanently.

[Widgets]

I found what I want.

Greater Shadowdeath Vambraces.

I will gladly over-pay to get these off of whoever buys them, or will pay someone to buy these for me.

That is all.

[Androidpk]

Sold for 7500 silvers in plat. :(

[Widgets]

Sold for 7500 silvers in plat. :(

Yea, Cross Realms isn't that appealing there.

I just like the Shadow Room you can transport to.....But word is alot of people are gunning for these, and hopefully one of them will sell me their Lesser set if I can't buy these off someone :)

[Durgrimst]

I just got done moving cross country and I will be attending on a friends account probably but....

I will pay/trade stupidly well for the following items:

a forest green soft leather pouch, pet
an ethereal string (if this is the item to make a weapon a returner)
a black rolaren war hammer, Guardians of the Sunfist weapon

I have to offer:

6x sanct returning handaxe
4x lightning flaring handaxe bandolier
And lots of cash/coins, I am more than willing to work out any deals necessary!!!!!!

Bumping this to put it out there, it is now in order of how badly I want it, for the pet I will overpay out the ass, and then for the next 2 I am willing to negotiate pretty much any deal.

[Androidpk]

I'd be interested in making a deal for the shadowdeath battleaxe and the veil iron half plate if anyone gets either of those :)

[Sean of the Thread]

I will be interested in all trades possible.

Email: Zimzum@pwned.com with details.

[Senglent]

I got the "TrollSlayer" Gladius in plat. I want to do 2 more test runs with it at some point today but pm me Andriodpk if you want a little more info on them. It appears they are diffrent from the one Eugenides has.

Actually I'll be doing the test run in about an hour when I have a break.

[Jace Solo]

I'd just like some scripted feathered wings. Self scripts are better..typed scripts are fine...both are hella awesome.
Don't care too much about mechanicals for it. Wouldn't mind it being part of the characters appearance vs inventory.

I'll negotiate whatever with whoever...*shrug*

[m444w]

I'm looking to acquire:
The black wings (darkness and some other spell) or the flame ones
Tonis Boots/gloves
any of the small blades
the trap card
rapture cloak
greater SD vambraces

[Morph]

I'd want any of the DB items :P

[Belnia]

lol brielus

[GS4-Brimzstone]

I honestly don't want anything ...
I'm just going to bid in the token room for resale purposes..

So if anyone wants to work out a deal that isn't conflicting with what I have with other people and items already. Shoot me a PM.

Although I do want to win the bottomless arrow quiver in the token room just to tease Belnia with ....

[Sablemane]

My 2 bits:

Wanted:

bottomless quiver (whichever that duplicates BOLTS)
Cloak of shadows

Have to trade:

5x fire-flaring returner chakram
6x greater black ora falchion
6x HCP max-lightened, altered, spiked brig
9.5x HCP lightened to 17, altered hauberk
5x knockout flare maul

[BigWorm]

the trap card

I love that the GMs made an auction-quality item out of an inside joke at Simucon.

[Senglent]

Wanted:
Heron-hilted Rolaraen Longsword (RR history item)

I should have some coins left after EG or we could work out a trade, so who ever gets that let me know. Very interested in that.

[BriarFox]

In the tradition of the CCF thread, people might use this one to post what they're looking for and what they'll pay or trade for it.

Personally, I'm not going to the auction (who the heck put it on Halloween?), but I'd buy or trade for these pieces below. If you win them at the auction, just let me know. We'll work something out.

I want:

1. Witchwood quiver or gold-riveted light mithril quiver
2. The Tonis boots
3. Trueshot quiver
4.The spore mushroom
5.The cast-iron skillet
6. A scaled knife (whittling knife)
7. One of the wings with E-Wave - doesn't matter which

I have for trade:
1. 7x/2x spiked shell hauberk, 15lbs
2. 8x spiked/acid flaring scripted hauberk, 14lbs
3. Feature-concealing cloak, 4/90
4. Spiked/disintegrate-flaring rolaren leg greaves with unique EZ-script
5. Fireleaf runestaff, +9 Spell Aiming bonus, +4 max health
6. Orase runestaff, +10 WIS stat, +3 Spell Aiming ranks
7. Deringo runestaff, +8 defender, +5 Dex bonus, +5 Logic bonus
8. 7x dcw short sword that morphs into a cane
9. 7x studded leathers
10. 7x fulls
11. Full armor concealer
12. +6 mithril claid
13. 4x perfect maul
14. Perm HCP armor accessories set
15. Coins, and other random stuff

Updated my list. I'll pay particularly well for the witchwood quiver, but the mithril one would work as well. Also, I very much want the Tonis boots, so let me know if you want to work out a deal for them.

[Jarvan]

Two Boots, at least 20 semi high to high rollers looking for them.

Those boots are going to be hard as hell to get.

[crb]

it cracks me up that the tonis boots, which arguably were made for a rogue or semi, are the most attractive thing I could see on the list for my sorcerer. Especially for silver room things.

[Androidpk]

Any class would be crazy not to want to wear both the gloves and boots.

[Inspire]

Anyone going for properties and want to commit to them?

[Jarvan]

Well, To be honest, I'd love the boots for my bard, and the gloves two. TWC bard and all.

But I also realize the boots alone is worth a small fortune, both together.. yeah right.

[Androidpk]

The haste effect would be useless for me but I would love that squall proc and +20 to dodge.

[BriarFox]

Yeah, if I acquire the boots, I'd look to acquire the gloves, too. The boots are more useful to me, though.

[That Jay]

Within 24 hours of the auction, each set of boots and gloves were together in Platinum. I got one set. Somebody else got another.

[BriarFox]

Hm. After revising my list, I think it's a bit too scattered. Let's do this instead:

I have one goal for the EG auction, and that's to get a set of the Tonis gloves and boots. I'm not going myself, which means that I'm looking for people to bid on or acquire the boots and gloves for me. If you're willing and my list of items for offer seems intriguing to you, shoot me a PM and we'll work some stuff out. I'll acquire them in the aftermarket if I can't do it in the primary one.

Be prepared to spend ALOT.

[Ardwen]

Whats a property? I deny any knowledge of such things. The Tonis sets are goig to like cost whoever gets them in the hundreds of million range at this points. Fairly sure they have climbed to the tops of almost everyones list, except for people with one specific item in mine for a particular character. A few such items, quivers, in this auction.

Revised and updated.

My base offer is 25 million silvers each or a set of 8x spiked/acid-flaring hauberk max lightened to 14lbs with Anfelt scripts. Let's go from there.

IMO tonis boots are worth at least 50m, at a minimum. More likely closer to 100m. Anything over 100m is dodgy and gets into novelty territory because, mechanically, they're not better than a 10x db (on the other hand, if you already have a 10x db, it isn't as if you could buy another one to stack).

The real kicker is that they go out in the silver room on Saturday, but the token room on Sunday. So, like the pea soup at Mendi's, it is a gamble.

That is, of course, just the boots.

[Belnia]

Here is what I want (in order of importance):

1. Bottomless 4x blessed arrow quiver
2. Transference Tattoo
3. Leatherworker's toolkit
4. Language earcuff set for Elven
5. Dual Dispel entwined wand
6. Whittling Knife
7. Alteration box
8. Spikethorn Tattoo
9. The Blue Lotus set

(No interest in the Spikethorn tattoo if I get Transference, was just thinking it would be nice for finishing up hunts since I've got the ranger ranks already.)

[BriarFox]

That is, of course, just the boots.

Like I said, we'll see where it goes. I threw out a base offer. I'll negotiate something to make the winners happy. It's not like I'm hurting for items.

[Moonwitch]

I find nothing on the list that I absolutely positively would give my teeth for. That being said....I find way too many things on the list that I would be happy with. Trying to narrow it down to a few items I'll wait for (the first day of course, by the second I get a little nervous I might end up with a swim tunic or flower press).

[Moonwitch]

3. Leatherworker's toolkit

Did I miss this someplace I didn't see it on the list.

[Belnia]

a crafter’s kit
- leathermaking kit
- Selfonia says, “This particular kit will allow you to make belts, armbands, pouches, and headbands from pelts and skins or other leather goods.”
- show: Rolled up tight and tied with a canvas strap, the crafter’s kit looks like a wrapped up leather bundle at this point.

[crb]

What is not mentioned is that everything it makes will weigh 10 pounds.

[BriarFox]

Like I said, we'll see where it goes. I threw out a base offer. I'll negotiate something to make the winners happy. It's not like I'm hurting for items.

And on the note of the Tonis gloves and boots, if you can get the set and trade it to me, which makes my life easier, I'll be very negotiable. I may even offer up my +35 DS/+10 TD, 15lb, spiked shell hauberk for the set (which I value at 110m).

Beat that! :-P

[ElvenFury]

a crafter’s kit
- leathermaking kit
- Selfonia says, “This particular kit will allow you to make belts, armbands, pouches, and headbands from pelts and skins or other leather goods.”
- show: Rolled up tight and tied with a canvas strap, the crafter’s kit looks like a wrapped up leather bundle at this point.

Why is this an auction item and not an artisan skill?

[BriarFox]

From Rep: "Are you retarded? You were just trying to sell that at 95 for a month and couldn't get a buyer. And the set is worth 300+."

1. I had several offers on the armor, and chose not to sell it. I didn't want silvers for it - the 95 was a range.

2. The value increased when the new Rift area opened, for a variety of reasons: you can use the armor to avoid crawler burrows after they dive on you; the TD helps significantly when uphunting; you can hide out from a swarm of anything no matter where you are; and so on.

3. You're presumptuous, and retarded yourself if you put the Tonis set at 300+. Someone is more than welcome to pay that, but I find it highly unlikely.

Edited to add: While the Tonis set is very useful, with 10% outright evasion and haste chances, and once per hour haste and call wind, along with +20 pickpocketing and dodging, it's not the end-all, be-all. I'd probably let the enhancives die on, at least on the gloves, myself. The boots are dodging ranks according to Nilandia's site and so will cost a ludicrous price to recharge. You can decide the value of those properties yourselves, but it's not 300m by any sane estimation.

[waywardgs]

10% outright evasion with the tonis set would be pretty nice to someone tripled in dodge and mastered in evasion already. Wonder how high you can get your percentage of outright AS check avoidance to go.

[crb]

plus 10% of the time when swung at your next attack gets automatic 5 second haste, old school haste.

[Ardwen]

Pending cost of the item I actually wind up buying, put me down as wanting Tonis items too, as I said earlier they arent going to go cheap, and the token winner is out to make themselves a nice fortune.

[septus]

I'd estimate the boots at ~100-125mil, but what do I know. Gloves will go for less, but I'm unsure how much since if you have the boots you gotta go for the gloves..which will drive the price up. (I'd like a +20 Pick Pocket item and the haste effect is really nifty..but no way I'd afford that)

I'm not going, but I'd like to acquire that nice silver box of magic cards.

I see a few items that will end up being worth sub 20mil on the list, but there's a lot of items about to be dumped on the market that are worth a lot more than that.. Going to be interesting to see just what gets resold in the open. I don't recall that many items from the last Ebons Gate being sold on the open market.

[Widgets]

The gloves would be worth a bit more if pickpocketing was actually useful in this game like before...Now, it's just not worth the TPs at all.

[Askip]

<< by the second I get a little nervous I might end up with a swim tunic or flower press >>

That reminds me, has anyone posted the list of consolation prizes?

:D

[Ardwen]

a swimming tunic is the consolation prize I think

[Fallen]

A lot of the things I like are unfortunately on the list of people who have a lot of silver. Hopefully one or two items will go out first and drain a few big time merchants of their silver. Even if most have multiple tickets, you can only draw from 1 pool of silver.

[Shimeria]

What does everyone think will be the top 10 sought after items and an estimate of what they might be worth when resold?

[Ardwen]

havent seen one person mention the item I want, not that I am surprised. quivers and tonis items seem to be the top iterms this time around so far.

[Beguiler]

a swimming tunic is the consolation prize I think

::le sob:: if this is true...what a crock.

Boots, Gloves, Tattoo's (Non-spikethorn), Airships, Vambraces, Property, pet in bag, quivers.

As to when they will be resold, expect the boots/gloves to move quickly and probably often, tattoos that are won via token will likely move behind the scenes, airshops and property cannot be resold, vambraces within the week at a marked up price, pet maybe in a month, quivers will move only if the archer merchants dont win them.

[Shimeria]

Any weapons to add to your list of top items?

[Fallen]

Not really. There was nothing steel weapon quality going out this festival. That MCP dagger should fetch a nic eprice though, unless it is tokens.

Yeah the veil iron 'Ripper' dagger is one of the better high end daggers released lately. If I was going that'd be towards the top of my list.

[Androidpk]

havent seen one person mention the item I want.

Same.

[Moonwitch]

I'll remember to throw my token in, even if I don't want it. Then maybe I can trade for something. Since nothing on the list has me wowed.



Pending cost of the item I actually wind up buying, put me down as wanting Tonis items too, as I said earlier they arent going to go cheap, and the token winner is out to make themselves a nice fortune.

[Menelous]

Not exactly in the same boat, but I'll probably throw a token at stuff like this too since selling that item would more than likely mean buying the item I really wanted and still have cash left over.

The "My item wasn't named" comments are likely based around the fact that people don't want to drum up interest in items they haven't seen spoken about at length. Trust me, if you find an item neat and/or useful, someone else does as well. Just hope it isn't someone with a 100+ mill bankroll, or 5 extra accounts to toss tokens around.

Yeah, I've taken the opposite track. Lots of people already want the Tonis set, so it's not like it'd go for a song. I'm making it obvious I'll pay well for it.

If 15 people all express interest in an item, you will have merchants buying the item JUST for resale. Some things are obviously sought after, but some things aren't. I have a lot of nice items, but my problem is I don't buy things I ever intend to trade. There will always be someone with more coins, so there is no point in me offering coins for an item I want. Throwing money at people is another option, I suppose, but i'm not looking to get into that just now. So, I just keep quiet, build up as much silvers as I can, and hope for the best.

[Jarvan]

For me, there are a slew of items I would love for various chars of mine, or for various reasons.

Luckily none are attuned, so I figure over time, I will be able to get ahold of most in the after market.

[Loyrl]

I want my stuff lightened and deepened, how much does this normally cost? I don't have a ticket.

[Archigeek]

For me, I'm feeling like I don't really need anything, so whatever I get with my token or silvers is going to be icing on the cake, but I'm not going to throw all of my silvers at whatever the latest flash-in-the pan gizmo is this year, that just spirals downward in value after the initially heated post-festival dealings.

I already made my Ebon Gate "deal" two days ago, when that lovely coincidence of having something someone else really wanted coincided with that same person having something I really wanted. Win/Win FTW!

[Fallen]

I want my stuff lightened and deepened, how much does this normally cost? I don't have a ticket.

Often times it is paid for entirely, other times a merchant will charge between 5-25k. If you went in with a few hundred thousand silver you should be able to easily cover all standard alter lighten/deepen services. Shopping in general may burn through your pockets, so make sure you wait until near the end of the festival so that you have enough silvers for services. You will need a ticket to get onto the grounds, but those will be readily available up to the moment the festival begins, perhaps even during the festival.

[Loyrl]

Oh I thought this was sold out, or is that just the auction?

[zhelas]

The auction tickets are sold out.

[Widgets]

Oh I thought this was sold out, or is that just the auction?

Just the auction for the most part.

[Fallen]

EG tickets to the main event never sell out. Even if the batch of 500 sold, they would just open up another batch. It has never been limited attendance. Only access to the Auction is ever restricted. One of the shitter aspects of EG, IMO. CCF ruled BECAUSE the tickets were so limited.

[Loyrl]

How hard is it to get the lightening and deepening?

[Fallen]

How hard is it to get the lightening and deepening?

That depends on how many hours you can spend merchant hunting. If you're only going to put in a few hours out of each day, don't expect much unless you get lucky. Most people stock up on foodstuffs, and clear their calendars when they want to amass a large quantity of services. If you put in 5+ hours a day and plan carefully, you should be able to get atleast 10 lightening/deepening services by the festival's end.

Some general tips:

1. You need to go into the EG chat and pay attention. Contribute information you have readily, and people will do the same.

2. Make sure you get a map of the festival grounds, and any scripts that are made available for travelling it. Familiarize yourself with the Festival's layout. Wander it a bit and try to commit it to memory. If a list of merchants scheduled to appear at the festival becomes available, be sure to add those names to your HIGHLIGHT list. Keeping Nilandia's website open to the 09 EG page is also a good idea.

3. Keep your thought net open, and watch for merchants and PCs announcing services.

4. In my experience, merchant services tend to be sparse after around 2AM EST. Get some sleep, and be up by around 10-11 to catch any popping on. During the week, many GMs will pop in after they finish their RL work day.

5. If you're concerned about maxing out how much your containers can hold, ALWAYS deepen to max first, even if it means skipping a lightening only service. If you get something lightened first, you take away how much they will expand it.

6. Merchant services tend to be limited during auction hours. Those will be from 12PM to 8PM on Saturday and Sunday. Don't expect too much work during these hours as running the auction has to be extremely taxing on numerous GMs.

That's about all I have for now. Good luck if you do attend.

Do you have a link to any scripts that have been created or do they come out after the gates open?

Thanks Fallen!

[Fallen]

Well, as so long as the grounds are unchanged, there should be scripts available from previous years. I would try to produce some links for you, but I am at work so my access to certain sites are prohibited.

Anyone have any good scripts from years past?

[Shimeria]

No rush I'm at work too, so can't access sites either. If you find any tonight that would be great.

Thanks!

[Moonwitch]

Oh I want Hedgie Jr but there is no way I can afford the cute little thing. Reminds me of sitting in TSSW when Kodos was around petting him and him telling me his name was Hedgie. Ahh when Gemstone was truly an adventure.


All I want is the damn pet at this point.

[Sean of the Thread]

You've just reminded me how much I'd like to take a M249 to TSSW.

[crb]

If you've never gone, GO.

Nothing recaptures the long lost field of the old game as EG, when you actually have a decent sized population in a single area.

[AKOE!]

It really is a LOT of fun, I would suggest going.

[Androidpk]

I probably would have bought a ticket when they were available if I knew what kind of items were going to be at the auction.

You have to admit that the events lately have been drool worthy. =)

[Androidpk]

Yes and I'll be sure to attend the next one. I don't think I've attended a merchant event since the airship that came around 2000/2001.

[kookiegod]

Yep, CCF was amazing, and now EG looks pretty damn good. They already delivered the goods (auction items.) If we get a ton of merchanting services too, gonna be a blast and a half.

Yeah that's why I've been reading a lot more of the officials lately. As in I want to get back in the game just for that and thinking of ways I could attend. But I just don't want to spend the $$ right now or I think I would.

[Senglent]

And just to add to my list of things I am looking to Purchase/trade for from the Auction.

Mithglin handaxe "blink weapon"
Bastard axe
Bubble flare certificate (heh why not ask and see if some one wants to sell one)
and the Rolaren Longsword (RR history item)

So if you end up with one of those and want to make a profit hit me up.

[BriarFox]

Just a reminder that I'm looking for the Tonis gloves and boots. Shimeria's bidding for me in the silvers room, since she's been kind enough to work out a deal with me. I've liquidated some stuff and I have a very large pile of silvers to spend.

[graysun]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Sirina posted the following in the EG folder:

All,

In prime, this service will be restricted to same armor class only. It should have been the same in plat, but apparently the auctioneers didn't know that ASG means "armor sub group" not "OMG let's go crazy". :)

Some scripted armors will not be eligible for this service, pretty much the same as when it was offered at CCF.

Sorry to shred your cloth-of-adamantine dreams.

~Sirina

[Jarvan]

sad part is.. that now become more of a rare merchant service, then an auction quality one.

[Belnia]

I think changes within the same Armor Group is an awesome limited merchant service. Especially when the cost was capped at 500k like at CCF. Some of the old time prices on ASG changes were insane

[Fallen]

I paid a lot on my run of CCF. Stupid competition.

[Summertime]

Items I'm interested in.

Super Bubble Certificate (need 2 of these)
Strength Cloak
Permabless

Erithian clothing set (with hairsticks)

You've got a lot of competition for the stuff further down your list, but the top two shouldn't be too bad. The replicating quiver's probably the most-wanted item at the festival. I don't think the coraesine is transferrable, unfortunately.

[Originate]

is there any confirmation of how much the strength cloaks adds?

[Summertime]

Thats why I put em at the top... they the ones I want most.. though I'm sure that several of the items towards the bottom are useless to most folks, or at least not something they intend to waste a bid or token on. If ANYONE is willing to bid on one of these items for me when/if their chance comes up.. would be happy and grateful to buy it from them. Many of them were passed at the Plat auctions.. nobody bid on them with silver OR token :(

Plat also only sold 120-something tickets and there were 255 items. That would result in a lot of stuff being passed.

The bubble flares do not stack with one another, FWIW.

Only one "flare" can be active at once, including the lesser bubble flares.

You should go.

Money should not enter into the equation, only time.

If you put the hours in you'll make more in silver-value on paper that you can then sell for dollars or GOA.

If you win a service you don't want you can post it in the EG chat and instantly get someone to pay you for it, usually.

You can buy things from the standard shops and resell at a profit after the event.

You can find things trick or treating, digging, slab hunting.

$40 is only 5m silver. You can't win 5m silver worth of services at the festival?

Of course it'd be best if you just get things you want, but if you cannot afford to go at all unless you sell some of what you win, I see nothing wrong with that.

But this is only if you can put the hours in.

Personally, I've always made money (on paper) going to events. I don't sell what I get (for dollars anyways) but when I compare the dollar cost of going vs. the added silver-value added to my networth, I always come out ahead.

I don't know why I try to convince you, just means more competition for me, but I'm feeling generous.
