I am SO excited the bandage made the list.
And I like the idea of removing instant heal. No reasons other than change in game mechanics

Re: Auction January 7th 2023
+C If you want to make things harder, please make harder content. There are already areas that are hard for veteran, fully-relayered, obviously fully dex healed players. Removing insta heal wil make those areas almost impossible. For mid-tier players this would tank pretty much every area. For new players... what is the point? It just becomes an even harder slog to get to a non-dying game play area. I don't want to be critical but this is really just a massive middle finger to anyone below high end veteran players. There are a lot of areas in Felucca that are just not possible without insta-heal. The mobs are too many and hit too hard that delayed healing is just a continual death sentence. Who wants to do that? Just my two cents.

Re: Auction January 7th 2023
will there be a special auction after this one?
Also wondering if the infinite bandage will work with current healing script?

Re: Auction January 7th 2023
The re-auction will be for today's auction as well. Of all the items listed here, I will pick 50% of them at random, the rest of it goes as with the previous one.
Insta-heal: it's basically a foundational mechanic on our shard, so we have to be careful tinkering with it. Basically it's a bug in RunUO code that only shows up if your dex is high enough (not possible with AOS-era non-custom shards), so in a way it's a cheatcode, but we love cheatcodes This also makes creating "semi-challenging" mobs basically impossible, because the only challenge you can make beyond that, is to make mobs that can onehit-kill you. Many of the mobs were made this way because of instaheal. I'll open a fresh topic for discussion when the time comes, not anytime soon I guess.

Re: Auction January 7th 2023
The whole mid-game and late-game balance is predicated on the existence of instaheal. You could easily and badly foul things up by tinkering with it. For what purpose would you take the risk?

Re: Auction January 7th 2023
Does someone have a list of what they were sold for? I only wrote down a couple things during auction.

Re-Auction sales log:
Delucian Horn sold to WonderBread for 20,900,000 Gold
Note:
There were 2 refunds:
- Ice rink addon, because the trees remain visible on screen even when you are on other levels in the house
- Ethy panda, because it's ethy and not fully opaque (would require applying the de-etherializing tub )
Both items will be re-sold at the next auction, with a notable disclaimer of these caveats.
Next auction will be a grand one, and will probably (almost sure) be on the weekend of February 4th-5th.
