Subj: Artifact auctions
We are now selling several rare artifacts up in the auction house for credits! Please read HELP
AUCTIONHOUSE and HELP AUCTIONS to familiarize yourself with the auctioning system. Unlike a gold auction, bidding on a credit auction will not take the credits from you, and you can bid more credits than you actually have. Should you win the auction, you will have a week in which to procure the credits, otherwise your character will be shrubbed until you can pay for the artifact. Any bids placed are final! You cannot undo a bid, and you will be held to the sale should you win.
We're also releasing some other artifacts that are usually only sold by auction into the store for a limited time. We will be selling these artifacts in the store until the end of February, after which they will be gone.
Here is the list of the artifacts up for auction, and the artifacts being sold in the shop for a
limited time:
++++ CREDIT AUCTION ITEMS ++++
These items will be available on the auction house shortly after this post.
Custom Wings
------------
This works similar to the wings/amulet artifact, but acts as your own personal portal room. You can specify up to 12 unique exits from your portal room, but these are subject to some restrictions (e.g. can't connect to a city, or an offplane room). The custom wings have the same benefits and restrictions as the other Wings/Amulets and must be activated via a spoken phrase. The item itself doesn't have to specifically be 'wings'.
Izu-Ari's Dice
--------------
Once per Aetolian month, 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%.
An Ironwall Ring
----------------
This ring works similar to a ring enchanted with icewall. However, the wall of iron it creates is
indestructible. The wall crumbles away after ten minutes, and the ring can only create one wall
every 30 minutes.
A Bottomless Vial
-----------------
This vial may be filled with any elixir or serum, and will never run out.
A Barrel of Inviolability
-------------------------
Anybody wearing the barrel will find themselves unable to be attacked via blackwind choke, or
abducted by Syssin.
An Emblem of Martyrdom
----------------------
Can be activated once per howling. When you next die, all allies in the same area as you will be
fully healed and cured of all afflictions. They will also be invulnerable to damage for five seconds. Works only for the owner.
The Elindes Talisman
--------------------
This talisman has 6 petals upon it which may be plucked at any time, and each petal, when consumed, will restore the health, mana, blood, endurance, and willpower of the owner. If consumed by anyone else, the petals will restore only the endurance and willpower of that person. The petals regrow at a rate of one per month.
A Ring of Elemental Mastery
---------------------------
A ring that contains all the elemental resistance enchantments upon it. It also contains the icewall, firewall and firelash enchantments which you can switch between by TURNing the ring. These enchantments will never fade.
The Intaglio of Artos
---------------------
Allows the user to customise his or her enter and entrance messages. Subject to administrative
approval.
A Staff of Portents
-------------------
When raised towards the heavens, this staff will call down a meteor upon everybody in the area who is outdoors, excluding the caster. Cannot be used indoors, and can only be used once every 10 seconds.
++++ LIMITED TIME ARTIFACT SHOP ITEMS ++++
These items will be in the artifact shop until the end of February.
A Hoarder's Vault (200cr)
-------------------------
The hoarder's vault can be used as a personal bank by the owner from anywhere.

---------------------------
Allows for the destruction of icewalls. Takes two seconds of unmodifiable balance.
A Torc of Hyperception (500cr)
-------------------------------
The wearer of this torc will be so attuned to his local surroundings that, when using the PERCEIVE ability in survival, they will receive an overview of every grove, tent, den, and mark within the area.
An Eelskin Cloak (500cr)
------------------------
Wearing this cloak can be truly electrifying! When worn about your person, any attacks that fall
upon your magical shield (as generated by a shield tattoo) will result in the attacker getting
shocked with electrical damage equal to 15% of their maximum health before resistances.
A glimmering paintbrush (800cr)
-------------------------------
Allows one to scribe a floating message in a room, which will show up in the room's description, upon movement/ql/look. You can create up to three of them per howling, but only one per room. The messages will linger in the room until the howling, after which they will disappear. You can specify a colour for the words to appear in by preceding the message with a number corresponding to that colour as per CONFIG COLOR.

owner.
Supreme Celestine bracers of devastation (2400cr)

upgrade your existing critical_chance artifact to level 4 also.
A market stall construction kit (3000cr)
----------------------------------------
This kit can be used to create a portable shop, and may be placed anywhere by the owner providing another shop is not already located there. Requires the room it's being set up in to not have an exit to the in.

Everything else looks good though. I'm too poor to participate but you broke Ezalor's heart by making it a credit auction instead of gold auction, so I'm happy with the rest of it. ^_^
My heart aches
1) The Vault artifact, Keroc says it doesn't have the 5% withdraw fees a normal bank has. Is this accurate or does it still have the withdraw fee?
2) The eelskin cloak.... when you say "any attacks that fall on your shield" does that include skills that specifically break the shield (hammer tat, umbrage, raze, etc) or does that just mean if I actually HIT your shield?
The vault artifact was released without a withdrawal fee, that was the perk for it in its origination. The interest collecting is a ylem perk giving to City institutions, so it will not be subject to the earnings, merely a portable non-penalty vault.
Hope this answers your questions.
Vitality too.
