It's the moment you've been waiting for! Shortly after this post, a round of auctions will be going live! There are 11 credit auctions, 5 iron coin auctions, and 6 gold auctions.

Some notes:

- The auctions will run for 10 real days.
- Any artifacts bought through auctions (including gold items) cannot be traded in or have their powers transferred.
- Credit and iron coin auctions do not require you to have the credits/iron coins on hand to bid.
- Gold auctions do require you to have the gold on hand to bid.
- We allow a week to gather the winning bid amount when auctions end. Failure to meet the bid amount after this time will result in the loss of your character until the cost is settled.
- Bound credits and bound iron coins CAN be used to pay for auctions.
- HELP AUCTIONS and HELP AUCTIONHOUSE both have additional details.

- Bids are final, and we will generally not reverse mistakes. If something needs to be clarified about an item, you are
welcome to ask me for more details before bidding. Please be absolutely sure before placing a bid.

Without further ado, here are the listings that are going live. Once they're up, you will see information on the lots
using AUCTION INFO <auction>.

CREDIT AUCTIONS
---------------
(NEW!) A staff of the Naldareth
- Use staffcast commands like the Magi of old. Works on PvP and PvE, must be wielded.
- Costs both balance and equilibrium to use.
- Syntax: STAFFCAST <spell> AT <victim>
- Spells are:
* Lightning (electric damage)
* Dissolution (magic damage)
* Scintilla (fire damage)
* Horripilation (cold damage)

(NEW!) A bevy of bees in a bottle
- EMPTY BOTTLE to summon a swarm of bees, has a cooldown of 3 hours and a limited life span (15 mins).
- They are loyal to you and can be ordered to attack players.
- Low poison damage with a low chance at delivering paresis or a limb break.
- Can be bashed to kill.

(NEW!) A clockwork lullaby box
- You can WIND this Delvian device to place it in the room, where it will attempt to put enemies to sleep on a ten second timer.
- This follows normal sleep attack rules (i.e. strips insomnia first).
- It cannot be retrieved or wound again until its song completes (three minutes).

(NEW!) A Gehennan token / an arthropodic idol
- Gain access to the Pathfinder entity pact regardless of your current class. Don't need to have Indorani/Oneiromancer!
- This item has two forms, you can pick which one you want on winning. One grants Pathfinder, the other grants its Astral mirror of Tegalid.
- Can of course be attacked and orb sigiled since it has no minion to protect it!

(NEW!) A foreboding talisman of ruin
- This item will boost all of your unblockable and/or non-modded sourced damage by 10% while worn.

A set of tattoo stamps
- The holder of this artifact will find that any tattoo they ink upon themselves or another person will be instantly finished.

Supreme Celestine Bracers of Devastation (power: critical_chance(4))
- This is a level 4 version of critical hit bracers, increasing your chance to critically strike by 8%. Doesn't stack with its lower leveled normal versions.

A venom rag
- Yes, it's real. This especially absorbent rag has been soaked through with various venoms, and will allow the user to apply an unlimited number of applications of any venom that can normally be envenomed to their weapons.

Izu-Ari's Dice
- Once per Howling, the owner may roll Izu-Ari's dice and receive a bonus of +1 to one or two of their stats, and/or a health or mana bonus of 5%.

Power orb: tumble_follow
- While in your inventory, this will allow denizens of any type (mounts, woodland creatures, pets, entities, and so on) to follow you after using TUMBLE.
- This comes on a power orb, so you'll need to transfer it to a valid item on winning to activate the power.

A portable leyspike
- Once per howling, spawns a lesser focus in the area where it is used. Can only be used in locations that a focus can normally spawn in.


IRON COIN AUCTIONS
------------------
(NEW!) A razor-edged orichalcum shield
- This shield has a bladed edge, allowing it to be envenomed and thrown at someone when wielded.
- Confers 22/22 armour stats and never decays!
- Works with returning!

The Intaglio of Artos
- Allows you to set a custom enter and exit messages.
- Subject to approval.

Custom style token
- The winner of this auction will be able to work with the admin team to design a custom style scroll for themselves.
- You will be able to print copies of this scroll for others for 25 credits with the STYLE SPAWN <style> command.
- These are subject to approval and must be setting / lore appropriate.

Minipet claim token
- Redeem this token and claim any minipet that has previously been available via promotions.

A pack of the void
- This very special pack can hold an infinite number of items inside.
- These cannot have the linked_container power added to them.


GOLD AUCTIONS
-------------
Pet token
- Entitles the owner to a customised pet package as outlined in HELP PETS, with a twist!
- The twist: we'll do the writing for you! Work with the design team to have your pet idea written by us, including its reactions.
- This includes add-ons 1-4, and 10 reactions.
- We'll also include some bonus features of our choosing... see Mahar's beetle or Whirran's snail for an example!

Relic piece token
- Redeem this token for any relic piece
- Artifact moulds or any relic that has a single piece to it are not included as options.

A ring of Dwarven fortitude
- While worn, this ring makes you immune to most of the effects of drunkeness. Strangely, it doesn't seem to work in the arena, during special events, or in the Panda stance.

An archer's bundle
- The winner of this auction will receive a level 1 artifact bow of the Hunt, with the aiming power included, an artifact quiver, and a serration rune.

Elemental globes bundle
- The winner of this auction will receive 10 globes of elemental energy.

Coffer bundle
