Auction January 6th 2024

Post by +Colibri »

There will be a regular auction this Saturday, Jan 6th, at 22:00 shard time. (That's 5pm eastern, 4pm central, 2pm pacific; 11pm central europe; 9am sunday morning for most australians).
About 20 items, nothing fancy. Items will be on display by Friday evening.

Btw, I haven't yet rolled the re-auction items from the December grand auction. So after this auction, both re-auctions will be rolled and you will be able to send your bids.

2024-01-06T00:21:39Z Items are now on display. Here's the list:
Ethereal Sphynx
Personal World Teleporter
Eagle on perch
Ancient War Hammer
Infinite Bandage
Greater Spirit of the Totem
Beekeepers hat with net
Deed for a dolphin spawner at your house
Decorative Corpse
CampsiteTentBanner
SnowPileCorner1
MeltedSnowman
SnowyTree2013
Bag of Ice Floes
Deed for a plague beast spawner
Deed for extra 20 spending points on a levelable weapon
Blood Well
Night Sight deed
Sequentastic clock with perfect timestamp
LargeOvenEast
Bunk Beds addon
Sarcophagus Mummy Lady
Rose Heart Patio


Kudos to Johnny Warren aka qbf here on the forum for advice on the Greater Spirit of the Totem. There might be an Ancient SOT in the February auction.
FYI on the Sequentastic Clock 12/31/23, there are 2 manually-made clocks which have the exact perfect time, including the .123 milliseconds. One is being sold at this auction, and another was gifted to Junobo's museum. I will soon post more about a summary of these clocks in the thread viewtopic.php?p=83369#p83369

Nice list for a small auction. Thanks +C. Thanks to your help I am now known as Johnny Warren on the forum, it renamed all my old posts too :) .

Would be nice to see these happen monthly, or every other month. You could even de-power the list if you're making them more frequent.

On the greater SoT - the changes are subtle. The initial concept wasn't mine. My key input was in reducing the physical resist on it to make it a more usable item. The greater SoT should give 37(38?)hp, a TH relayer gives 31, a hide of the WW king gives 35hp (correct this math if I am wrong). So this technically provides the greatest HP boost of any item other than an Ancient TH. Obviously it lacks the other stats on a relayer, so is less powerful than a TH relayer. You will also note that it has 20%RPD. That's "overmax" for an item, which is also a nice bonus.

I am very interested to see how the shard population values it and what it sells for. I was thinking in my mind 50-100m, but auctions tend to make people a little loco, so wouldn't be surprised to see it go higher. Note what +C said, there's potentially an Ancient SoT coming up in Feb, which, will likely follow the stat adjustments of the greater SoT, just increase them further.

I don't know that I can attend tomorrow - I might be there for a few minutes at the start, hopefully. Going to my nephew's christening. So, good luck and have fun everyone!

EDIT: Just noticed that the perfect clock was gifted to the museum - Excellent idea. Well done.
EDIT 2: I just had a thought, it would be awesome to give the Greater SoT "Artifact Rarity 12" just for aesthetics :D

What? 50m-100m for a SoT that gives you +5 STR (+2 HP), +5% HCI, +5% RPD and -5% Physical Resist ??! :shock:
Imagine paying the price of 4 relayers just to get those four 5%'s :lool:

I’m going to echo what others are saying about the SoT. Yes it would be worth 60-80 mil if it was a single unique item but knowing that there’s a good possibility of there being an “ancient SoT” in the next auction it really devalues it. I’m going with 30-40 mil on the valuation.

+C was hoping for it to be a cheaper item, and it was designed to be significantly cheaper than an ancient weapon. I personally don't think it's worth much. But considering people paid 58m for "infinite bandage" when I think in 14 years here I have spent less than 2m on bandages. Or someone paying 35m to change the appearance of their shield. Or over 50mil to insure, wait I mean bless, their backpack. People pay multiple times the value of relayers just for an appearance change or minor QoL upgrade!! So yeah, whilst you are talking sense Deckard, people are silly at auction, hence my prediction.

Cheers Wil, as always.

Glad my tier list held up and my calls were accurate. You should keep that list +C for reference when setting the power level of auctions.

My prediction for the greater SoT was also spot on.

Grats to all the winners, thanks again +c for setting it up and hosting! Keep em coming!

@Alibaster - I don't think it has been announced yet.

On the poor man's item: Did anyone notice there were different variants of it? How many are there all up (for collection sake)? I have 5 totally different ones. Or was it a list of random items and every one of the lists is it's own unique list?
