As most of you know by now, we will be holding an artifact auction
beginning this Wednesday. You will be able to view the current bids with
AUCTION WARES once the auction is open. For further information on how
to bid and about the auction in general, read over HELP AUCTION.

You must have the gold or credits that you bid on an item within one day
of the auction closing. If you do not have your bid on you without
contacting Me directly, you will be shrubbed, no questions asked, for
sixty days.

The auction will run for 4 days, and the remaining time will be shown on
the auction itself. You are permitted to place bids for items you intend
to gift to others, but please make Me aware of this if you are the
winner as soon as possible.


Credit-Bid Items
----------------

1. Hoarder's vault
The hoarder's vault serves as a private bank. It can be used from any
location as long as it is in your inventory, and has no fees associated
with withdrawals.

2. House deed
This house deed may be exchanged for a personal residence consisting of
up to fifteen rooms. The residence may be located anywhere within
reason, at My discretion, however placement in cities will need to be
approved by the city leader.

3. Custom wings
This will be a custom set of wings (or another worn item), with a custom
command word, and a custom portal room. The room exits will have to be
approved, and generally cannot put someone into a city. It will have the
same use restrictions as the wings or caves artifact.

4. Intaglio of Artos
Allows for custom enter and exit messages. (These will be approved by
the gods and can only be changed, at most, once an Aetolian month.)

5. Fermian's flagon
This flagon holds an unlimited amount of alcohol, the choice of which
will be given to the owner.

6. Market stall
This is a shop which can be placed in any urban or road environment. If
you do not login for three days, then it will be returned to your
inventory.


Gold-Bid Items
--------------

1. Homing pigeon
The homing pigeon allows you to send mail from any location.

2. Bracelet of Sustenance
Eliminates your need for food and sleep.

3. Workbook
This item will hold up to 50 tradeskill designs of any type, keeping
them from decaying.

4. Stalwart Armband
Reduces stun duration by 35%.

5. Gem of Cloaking
Hides the user from appearing on the WHO list.

6. Boots of Celerity
Increases the amount you may move before getting told you are being too
hasty. This will stack with the Celerity skill.



Questions about any aspect of the auction may be messaged to Me,
