They mean "upper middle" obviously. not those poor "lower middle" scrubs

plain delta
#

Poor premium homes.

sage tundra
#

The existence of middle class housing implies the future possibility of lower class housing

plain delta
#

They tried.

sage tundra
#

And someday, for me, lower lower class housing

nova haven
#

Lower class housing = tents

plain delta
#

We already have tubs.

#

Just place your tub off of town center.

abstract forum
#

It will become more middle class as the system expands too, I'm sure. New hotness is new hotness.

plain delta
#

Next to an old barrel.

nova haven
#

Live in the ballista towers

#

They're almost nev.. rarel... sometimes occupied

dusky star
#

i hear the Raging Thrak has a jungle themed room that people use to sleep in sometimes.

nova haven
#

That's Silvergate! I'd tell you to wash the sheets in the hot tub first, but the hot tub is likely more suspect

plain delta
#

Wyrom plz, it's getting weird in here.

dusky star
#

well now we know someone who's used the jungle room

distant bone
#

heh

dusky star
#

my fault, i'll see myself out. just lookin' for The List anyway.

nova haven
#

And the dragon room has massage oil and sake

#

My wife’s bday night is over

#

I see no list.

nova haven
#

Why gif no gif

silver imp
#

What happened in here?

nova haven
silver imp
#

Okay, so, I think we're ready to expose these lists.

nova haven
#

List....s?

cobalt bronze
#

You guys should all go to bed and wake up to a fresh list like its christmas

loud echo
#

lists... plural? releasing the april one too?

polar veldt
#

I just drank some pedialyte.

#

It’s got electrolytes

nova haven
silver imp
#

April has some stragglers. So it's missing a few things. If they make it out of QC they'll get added. Some stuff on the list doesn't have a description and will have a * by the item name. That's because it's pending on some stuff.

nova haven
silver imp
#

Will a thread let me paste a spreadsheet as a file? Let's see!

gentle grove
#

Tune in to find out!

polar veldt
#

Please. Keep me awake for another hour

loud echo
#

read only google doc link go?

polar veldt
#

Hope we can’t edit it. Or else it’s gonna get real weird

silver imp
#

Making any of my stuff player ready scares me.

loud echo
#

haha

royal cedar
#

As it should

gentle grove
#

Why I don't let people in my office.

#

Players are tricksy hobbitses.

robust agate
silver imp
#

Okay it just tries to paste it as a text file. Probably not a good way.

royal cedar
#

Honestly I don't know why we even allow players. They cause all sorts of issues!

silver imp
#

SOmeone give me the Newsby spreadsheet!

plain delta
#

Stream it.

fringe elbow
#

I mean, players are users

nova haven
fringe elbow
#

And everybody with a coding background knows users are terrible

nova haven
#

this was decades ago

devout pawn
#

mutters something about griffin swords and this is why we can't have nice things

gentle grove
#

Let's convert it into a PerfectWorks file, circa 1996.

#

Good luck opening it.

loud echo
#

I have a windows 98 emulater, I'm good

#

sir do you have the floppy disc space required for that reference

robust agate

It was a weird format used by Corel for their word processing program that tried to take on Word.

Woah, Gemstone is finally moving up to Win95? The future is here!

gilded adder

#

Makes me think of word perfect

silver imp
#

It was intended to replace Word Perfect!

nova haven
#

I don't know if my 4090 can handle it

hoary ginkgo
#

And just because I think it's funny, I will point out Win95 came out three years after my birth.

how else will the kids know you're better than them? K/D/A's? Pft!

polar veldt
#

So. Uhhh. List?

gentle grove
#

My cats were so mad when we got rid of the CRT monitors. They LOVED having heated butt warmers to lay on.

polar veldt
#

I sleepy

nova haven
#

I have a heated blanket specifically to trap 3-4 cats on my bed at night

#

I swear they can hear it when I turn it on

nova wagon
#

look

gentle grove
#

look at list

nova wagon
#

Oops.

#

WRONG WINDOW.

silver imp
#

(I requested edit access)

gleaming sorrel
#

Haha

nova wagon
#

Good thing it was what I was trying to type in the game window and not all the smack talk about Wyrom.

gleaming sorrel
#

“What do you mean the GM npc can hear all the whispers?!?!?!?”

robust agate
#

Sec, passing on word to the big boss. (Luxie.) 😄

gilded adder

loud echo
#

you know, probably coulda just put it into a wiki table haha

gentle grove
#

Hackermans.

loud echo
#

that is what wyrom looks like when he's stealing all our silver

surreal narwhal
#

Well, that was the most unexpected thing to happen tonight as I was wrapping up the news production.

loud echo
#

I just saw wyrom's lists!

nova haven
#

Is a singleton like a simpleton

gleaming sorrel
#

No….

young salmon
#

still no list right?

gleaming sorrel
#

I have not seen this list you speak of

gentle grove
#

I see a list.

gleaming sorrel
#

Woo!

nova wagon
#

I see a list.

surreal narwhal
#

25% of the waiting time was Miss Leafi getting the request to me. 70% of the time was me trying to find his request.

silver imp
#

Singleton = One offs, might see them again sometime.
Variant = There is something similar at the auctions
Duplicate = Exact copy
One-of-a-Kind = Unique, only one for the foreseeable future or forever

sage tundra
#

just give edit access to everybody, easy fix

silver imp
#

The list is only like 98% guaranteed.

sage tundra
#

I love that the list has an intricately etched lintilia wand inlaid with anemone coral xan'ayra

and next to it a burlap pouch

nova haven
#

I don't know what any of this stuff is! confusecat

royal cedar
#

Did we find out what the profession-like pins are?

nova haven
#

'cept the teapots

nova wagon
#

My stuff is fairly obvious.

nova haven
#

You should add spiders to Goblyn stuff at EG if Kaikala is busy, Mr. Spiderman

silver imp
#

Profession pins could also say variant too, they really aren't the same though. Tough call, you'll all figure it out.

mental pier
#

im so confused, is the list out and I don't see it?

nova haven
#

Someone needs to go on an adventure with Rumplesnoots wearing that

surreal narwhal
#

Now I need to go give this to Miss Newsby, because as Mister Wyrom was typing in lists, I was pushing Sunday's news to her. Without this.

nova haven
#

Is Newsby... a BOT!?

dusk moat
#

No, the Horror is a kaskara. Casil's thing is something else.

nova haven
#

I forgot there was a sword named The Horror

gleaming sorrel
#

Are there any bows?

nova haven
#

There are boxes that could have bows in them

#

But no bows in evidence otherwise

#

I spy a doomicorn perfume bottle though

gleaming sorrel
#

Interesting

silver imp
#

Some stuff in containers will be a mystery until it's time!

devout pawn
#

...so much stuff I want.

nova haven
#

you just want to break it down into it's material components

devout pawn
#

uh, no.

gleaming sorrel
#

Lol

gilded adder
devout pawn
#

most of what I can use in making a lapidary box I already have sourced.

silver imp
#

There are no discounts between instances, but Platinum's minimum bids will start lower. MB = reserve just because it's easier to digest.

loud echo
#

So, a "tomb of secrets" ?? a tomb seems to be awfully big to be an item haha

nova haven
#

I recognize about... 14-15 things from Marchs list so far

gleaming sorrel
silver imp
#

Haha that won't be the description! Have to wait until April though.

devout pawn
#

...Wyrom is selling his crypt as a private property.

gleaming sorrel

Only if I can get to be a vampire

devout pawn
#

...there is a suspicious lack of ...Wyrom is typing...

It would need to be at least… 2 or 3 times bigger.

nova haven

Usually those are made with molten aluminum

gleaming sorrel

#

a delicate faenor ring cradling a perfect sphere of emerald vaelfyren - fireball ring?

nova haven
#

BALEFIRE ring

strong apex
#

Really beautiful stuff on these lists. Can’t wait to see what it all actually does

gleaming sorrel
#

Lots of fun to be sure

abstract forum
#

a polished lasimor case inlaid with dark green vaelfyren vines - what are you, pretty? 👁️

young salmon
#

sorry multi-tasking- is there a list now?

robust agate
#

I've split up every item into categories on my personal spreadsheet. 91 of them are in the "?????" category. 😂

abstract forum
#

Someone sticky the list 😂

sage tundra
#

an articulated eonake appendage

hold up everybody appendage is an approved noun now

gleaming sorrel
#

Yes. Someone pin in

#

Thank you

royal cedar
sage tundra
#

we need a cursor whatever the medieval equivalent of a parking lot is

#

stables, cursor stables

devout pawn
#

There's at least, like, 8 things on the list for March I'd like. So many decisions.

#

okay, fine, I wouldn't say no to any of them, and a lot of them I'd like, but there's at least 8 I actually want to shell out significant amounts of silvers for.

nova haven
#

a spherical milky white eyeball caught in a lattice of thin chains - I for one want a third eye forehead gem

#

... and all of the gowns

gilded adder
#

what are the scarabs?

devout pawn
#

we don't knoooooow

young salmon
#

erm

#

wait did I miss something? Is there really not a single blunt weapon in the entire auction?

devout pawn
#

I think those you stick behind your ear?

nova haven
#

there's also not a bow, or a polearm, or many other things

devout pawn
#

Not that I've seen.

young salmon
#

really?

nova haven
#

but there COULD be in the boxes

#

We don't know what's in most of the containers

young salmon
#

@silver imp No blunt weapons at all?

plain delta
#

a lacquered ebony instrument case - familiar instrument?
an icy blue gown-shaped card - add Ice gown script to your own
The eyeball reminds me of the third eye Veola from last trove

young salmon
#

Can we go back to one of your weapons being a mace?

nova haven
#

a prismatic puppy-shaped paper - build your own puppy?

#

a rectangular cedar and maple humidor - unlimited cigar humidor 300%

gilded adder
#

a gold-flecked translucent artifact?

young salmon
#

that's so disappointing

nova haven
#

a glistening ebony glass bottle with a spiraled crimson horn stopper - doomicorn perfume presumably bottomless 👀

gleaming sorrel
nova haven
#

a sky blue crystal globe charm - weather charm probably

royal cedar
#

Lots of beautiful descriptions

gilded adder
#

a grey-spotted narwhal hide tricorn edged with scrimshaw
This seems...appropriate

nova haven
#

Ghost tricorn maybe?

#

or a really sick veola

verbal flare
#

so what's what

nova haven
#

we're just guessing

verbal flare
#

can we add a description/guess column to that list

nova haven
#

I have like... a good idea of maybe what 1/4th of the list is

#

not counting the stuff that was teased/we already know

nova haven
verbal flare
#

why not we're all trustworthy

nova haven
#

I'm certainly not!

robust agate
#

Make a copy and then crowdsource the identification of them all!

verbal flare
#

^

#

Leafiara for president, let's do that. I don't want to guess on my own what's what.

nova haven

I'm a grease monkey I don't know the ways of sheets!

clear abyss
#

That mushroom staff is purty, not that I need another runestaff or anything

nova wagon
#

Protected ranges!

zenith ether
#

So during the auction, when there's an item that inevitably does not have the full description in a way that players can understand everything that we're intended to know about it... will someone be there to answer questions? Will they potentially pause the auto auction mechanics for a sec? Or do we just make our best guess, and caveat emptor?

gleaming sorrel
#

I don’t need a new bow either. But stuffs!

zenith ether
gleaming sorrel
#

That’s a term that has been used to rip-off people for millennia

#

Do scripts even show up for inspect? Or is it still “an unknown scripted benefit” type thing?

#

I’m personally fine either way. Just dislike the term “ caveat emptor”. It’s a personal thing.

mental pier
#

how long is this auction supposed to take?

surreal narwhal

Holy Schmoley ... who needs edit access NOW?

Someone wants to add IDs to stuff? I added a few I could find on our preview list tab. But I'm OUT on the rest.

verbal flare
surreal narwhal
#

Let me make a new sheet you guys can muck up and I will copy it over in the morning when I get up.

verbal flare
#

we want to crowd source the guesses, alternatively you could appoint the chief editor who will take notes but that's a lot of work

zenith ether
# surreal narwhal Cries

We were discussing whether to unprotected one row where the internet at large could crowdsource details on items. And we're absolutely certain no one would deface it, of course.

gleaming sorrel
surreal narwhal
#

I suppose I should start an April Tab, too.

loud echo
#

they aren't gonna pause stuff I don't think unless there are technical issues

surreal narwhal
#

Wasn't the Duskruin one pretty automated? And there were questions and answers

#

Go Anonymous Hedgehog, Iguana, and Rhino! GO!

Also, someone please make a request of COLUMN ACCESS LINK from the Google for us, right?

If it's passed at aprils auction will it get moved to mays?

Only if we drain all the silver in the game.

i just got home - i see lists - i feel anxious - i dont know what anything does - what should i do

#

besides panic

verbal flare
#

buy 3 mailboxes

keen kelp

I'm curious what the in-game wealth will look like at 6:59pm ET.

surreal narwhal
#

There's zero mailboxes on tomorrow's list!

gilded adder
sage tundra
#

there's zero mailboxes on tomorrow's list so far

surreal narwhal
#

We just reminded Mister Wyrom how he can drain more silvers?

keen kelp
#

wyrom onlyfans?

brave kelp
#

dang it, i see mushroom stuff, was gonna just spectate, but now i'm all in!

cerulean eagle
#

so... if i'm reading this right... consolidate silvers from accounts before the auction time begins vs entering the auction? Or is it the other way around? just want to be sure there's no room for error for passing silvers to a secondary account that hasn't entered the auction yet. (sorry just thinking from a security point of view since I'm curious more than anything). Looking forward to tomorrow anyway 🙂 Just hoping there's an Icemule property to be had 🙂

silver imp
#

Just make sure all your silver is on your characters you're bringing before 7pm.

cerulean eagle
#

gonna just do it tonight before I go to bed so i dont have to worry about it then reset the refuse silver bit to be safe

gilded adder
#

if we bring silvers, is it going to be an issue to grab the items from the block?

torpid tapir
#

Temporal?

hollow elm
#

Don't forget about BANK TRANSFER CONSOLIDATE and BOOST REALMS SILVER (to get the consolidate).

vague onyx
#

a tomb of secrets * One-of-a-Kind ??

torpid tapir
#

Guessing the temporal bit is the new material

silver imp
#

Temporal is just air

#

Not a new material, same thing sonics are made of.

torpid tapir
#

Wyrom over here selling people thin air. Man's a genius.

gaunt ice
#

Didn't see a massive black blade. I feel shorted.

torpid tapir

Did anyone spot a new material name?

verbal flare
zenith ether
torpid tapir
#

@verbal flare You best crawl.

verbal flare
#

does it have to be coins or we can bring notes?

torpid tapir
#

They said notes are fine

silver imp
#

Notes are free to withdraw these days.

torpid tapir
#

Thank you for that btw

silver imp
#

Notes and coins are good though, if you want to show up with 2bil silver. Just don't be that person that dies with all your coins and just DEPART CONFIRMs, losing it all.

plain delta
#

why not? I thought you wanted to get rid of silver

keen kelp
#

no, be that guy - i want to meet you

silver imp
#

But true, I guess that's one way to handle it.

torpid tapir
#

Wyrom is that new material in the list?

plain delta
#

Cut out the middle. Straight to the pit.

silver imp
#

After the auction, we'll have a group old school meteor swarm party with 2 second decay timers.

#

I need to read what Discord is doing with these super reactions.

surreal narwhal
#

Does the warehouse auction house work like the Duskruin one? there will be inspect and analyze on a table/whatever?

plain delta
#

Making you question if we've gone too far as a society.

plain delta
silver imp
#

I have "a temporal warblade" that sparked the question.

#

It's just air.

cerulean eagle
#

think he means sleepy material.. somnis

torpid tapir
#

Somnis is the new material?

#

Thought they advertised there'd be a new one specifically for this auction o_O

silver imp
#

It's me foreshadowing my next in person auction when I say, "It's literally nothing but air."

#

There is somnis here, hidden in a container.

plain delta
#

I thought it was because "time is money"

cerulean eagle
#

wait what new one if not somnis?

silver imp
#

No new material, Xess is just acting like Sir Topham Hatt.

gaunt ice
#

a massive black temporal blade.

silver imp
#

SEE THEY EXISTED BEFORE THIS

gaunt ice
#

lol

plain delta
#

a perfectly normal-sized temporal blade

a nothing-to-see-here temporal hook-knife.

Also pogfish is great.

#

Okay, eat some fiber and get rest everybody. See ya at the auction.

verbal flare
#

a burlap pouch?

robust agate
#

Alrighty, KST's over. Have we identified every single item on the lists yet and deciphered what they are? 😛

robust agate
#

Man, having to dig pretty deep into the wiki to find some of this stuff. Like "a sigil-carved glowbark runestaff crowned with a faceted white quartz crystal" was apparently an Ebon Gate 2009 item. Edit: As was "an ancient yellowed tome"...

silver imp
#

Sleuthing!

sage tundra
#

I don't have edit access so: a salt-stained driftwood brown tome with a stylized kraken on its cover

this and the four tomes next to it are presumably herblore tomes

robust agate
#

Ooh, nice, we'll get to find out what a golden mithril anvil trinket actually sells for, since it didn't meet the 350k bloodscrip MB in February 2022. (1x/day Gift of Eonak.)

verbal flare
#

what are the flesh things

hollow elm
#

MonstrFlesh that Wyrom already teased

sage tundra
#

all the stuff on the bottom is wyrom's teasing

robust agate
#

The flesh is permanent +5 AS, DS, crit padding, or damage padding depending which one it is. Which we don't know.

gaunt ice
#

Isengard bids five.

robust agate
#

Most of my sleuthing has resulted in moving items from the ????? category to the Not Interested category, but hey, that 1x/day Gift of Eonak is something I might actually care about if people don't go ham on it.

#

What I really need to figure out is if there's a wiki page for the bloodsucking plants that have been given out at GHOUL in the past, or whatever they were, since I suspect that's what "an odd-looking plant" is.

Edit: Answer is yes. Though I have no idea how my brain just automatically turned these into Little Shop of Horrors when they don't seem to be. 😄 https://gswiki.play.net/Chomper_plant adds it to "Plausibly Interested" category

sage tundra
#

calloused flesh corresponded with armored skin (crit padding) and fibrous flesh corresponded with elongated arms (thrown AS), so the flesh on the list isn't either of those two

verbal flare
#

is the list in the order they will be at the auction?

loud echo
#

No, everything will be random order

#

That's how new bids in the block works

#

Gonna take a good long list at everything after I sleep I thinks

silver imp
#

I'm still finishing things. The list making was a lot longer than I want to admit.

#

Just uhh... please appreciate it, heh.

Do coins in coin hands work for the auction? If so do they need to be worn

Huh, was kind of hoping the Greater Amulet of the Arkati would go in the March auction

#

I wonder if the Tamuz set of items are the Cleric/Ranger/Warrior etc urglaes pavis that have SM spells

a carved onyx and silver pentagram

a rune-carved gold and copper clasp - Wizard - 310
a silver and emerald acantha leaf - Empath - 406
a twining faenor ivy vine charm - Ranger - 410
a gilded gold musical note brooch - Bard - 608
a polished steel shield stickpin - Warrior - 801

Where is the auction going to be?

I think little neighborhoods is a really cute idea for middle-class private properties.

maiden kite
#

Vanah your juicer didn't make it? (For some reason I thought that was an auction thing, but when I look back we were only discussing it in the still thread, so I guess my brain projected...)

neat nexus
#

No, I said it at the time that it wasn't done. Which is why we don't usually and shouldn't talk about projects in progress -- it got twisted into some immediately pending thing and it could be next month, next year, or never

maiden kite
#

heh no worries, I think we just wanted to dream it into existence early 😉

placid otter
#

wait.. I thought the whole juicer thing was a complete joke?

#

there actually will be a juicer?

clear smelt
#

you'll just have to wait and find out!

#

I apparently couldn't fool all of you with my puppy-shaped paper. I should have been more mysterious in its appearance.

woe be to the person that doesn't inspect it and finds out it's just a scripty object used to help potty train your existing puppy

static wave
#

so a sand elemental?

neat nexus
#

I had 5 ideas approved for the auction that I didn't code in time. It happens a lot!

#

One of which was revived from the 2016 auction that I didn't finish in time for that one, either

#

where is the collusion spreadsheet? Oh its a tab on the bottom thanks

keen sedge
#

only 2 out of 5 monster flesh going out? didn't see the other 3

minor comet
#

Presumably they'll be in April, but they're not on the list yet for whatever reason.

#

Leathery is the +5 DS one, I'm not sure which is sinewy. Could be the generic +5 AS.

forest knoll
#

um... Is there any reason not to put this March list up on the wiki?

distant karma
#

I think he did a spreadsheet because it was easier

grim nest
#

What is that eyeball?

nova haven
#

I think it's like that third eye veola from EoR/trove

#

enhancive? and alter that's not normally available

grim nest
#

Ah! Neat.

#

And here I was hoping for SK Eye Spy lul

nova haven
#

Oooh that would be dope too

grim nest
#

Which one's the spooder item?

nova haven
#

the bracer

small path
#

probably the web bracer

nova haven
#

Casil showed off some blurbs last night, it attacks random bug jar critters 😮

grim nest
#

Ah good good.

nova haven
#

An ebon-winged fuzzy saffron bumblebee lands on your web-worked bracer, getting caught in the gossamer webbing. A crimson-veined mirror spider darts out and pulls it into its clutches. It quickly spins silk around the ill-fated insect before dragging the snack inside.

#

That's pretty cool.

nova haven
#

Lots of cool stuff at these, props to the GM team

grim nest
#

Yeah I'm continually impressed

small path
#

Is it possible to add the waggle feature to turn it on (like the fire cloaks), so people without cold magic can not have to horde blue wands? I don't think there are a lot of cold or water spells around to begin with.

distant karma
#

Only fire cloaks allow that

#

Fire gowns have never been updated because its probably a different script owner

small path
#

oh, that seems weird, nevermind me then

distant karma

The fire cloaks were given a special dispensation because they were a Simucon gift. The fire gowns require fire spells, just like the ice gowns will require ice/water spells.

Vanah’s 2016 thing that didn’t make it in is SUPER COOL and I painted the best thing ever for it.

Does waterwalking count as a water spell?

#

The issue with requiring spells is that many of the places you would want to activate the gown for others to see the activation are sanctuaries and block offensive spells

#

That you would use to activate the gown. The actual activation of the gowns are very cool but you have to leave the room to activate it half the time.

A caliginous power manifests around you, momentarily dimming the light and allowing darkness to encroach.  You prepare to cast the Fire Spirit spell.
Your spell is ready.

As the flames break upon the black damask dress, the fire is absorbed into the fabric, each thread subtly backlit by a fiery glow.  In a rush that causes the air to distort, ethereal azure flames erupt and race to cover the garment in a cloak of living fire as a caliginous damask dress swirled with azure flames is revealed.```

Anyone can wear the gown. Getting the fancy magical light show requires magic.

wise bolt
#

Frustrating to know that the collective you wouldn't put in the same fix that they did for the simucon cloaks.

gentle grove
#

The fire cloaks were given a special toggle via the WAGGLE verb because they were a Simucon gift. The fire gowns, and now the ice gowns, have never been sold with that expectation and it has always been up front you need a source of suitably thematic magic to activate them.

forest knoll
#

Yeah... just feels real icky for a single class to be overlooked in the design, for something very expensive and very pretty.

gentle grove
#

Which is complete and total fluff and in no way required for game play.

forest knoll

Thanks for the encouragement, I shall not bother barking up the barbie tree.

nova haven

To be fair it's limited to a lot more classes that only have offensive ice magic if they want to activate it in a sanct, they're stuck using scrolls too

None of the auction items are required for gameplay though?

It's just supposed to be super fun happy big extras. Seems a shame to exclude some classes from fluff offerings.

keen sedge

can wave a wand if you really want, right?

gentle grove
#

Literally no one is excluded. There are methods to activate the item for characters who don't have native access to the suitable spells.

robust salmon
#

There is a difference between a GM making something cool for professions that have an ability to activate and it being a purposeful exclusion and slight to those who don't. The premise seems to be an unfair characterization.

nova haven
#

I don't think the GM designing the gowns decided "Yeah screw bards in particular" for sure, fire gowns get activated with fire magic, ice gowns get activated with ice magic, logic tracks

#

There's never been a better time for wide availability of X/Day items, you could even get one shoved on a tattoo come DR

small path
#

When your expensive item requires you to collect things outside of it to work, it's just a feels bad kind of moment. Especially a fluff item.

placid otter

Vasculum gate has caused me to never assume any gm is familiar with all game aspects. The designer might not have even known what classes have what spells

Bards are always forgotten about and overlooked. It's par for the course, and I don't know why I even expect anything different.

Would these really have not been authorized unless they have the cast at item feature, just seems a really weird hill to die on.

distant karma
#

I have no issue with requiring magic to activate the gowns. My only point of asking for the change was to have a method for the fire gown to activate it in a sanct.

There's plenty of RP events that sanct the room and prevent attack spells and activating the gowns are a statement. I assume they were inspired by the Hunger Games movies and when you first see the gown light up as she's riding on the chariot it's a moment. Its great the ice gown allows 112 to activate it as that is not a spell of war. If a similar concession for fire gowns could be found I'd be happy.

I don't think anybody would argue against bards being able to.. Your best bet is just to make a request post in the forums and if the GM who made it agrees (entirely their prerogative).. it might be changed.

It's auction day! 🎉 There should be excitement in here.. not angst that's unlikely to be resolved in this thread... and definitely not back and forth arguing over it.

The bottles made also have additional scripts on them, with being able to make musical notes that changes with the amount of liquid in them
It does not need charges to fire
does not need water added?

For some reason the theater let 12-year-old me and my friend into this movie. We had no idea what we were getting into. I do not recall why we chose that movie (it may have been the only one playing). It was... educational.

Elven armor is my suspicion, yeah.

Water is the cerulean pit viper I shared in previous teaser, earth is a sand rat, lightning is an antelope jackrabbit, fire is a flame-wreathed kestrel, and air is a hooded crow.

They've all got a bit of their element baked into their descriptions, and some of their unique ambients also reference their element. (Air is more smoke-flavored.)

And just so it's explicitly stated, and I included this as a comment in my earlier teaser about the water familiar talisman that's pinned, but these familiar talismans will need to be bound with a binding runestone before use. (Which any wizard who knows the binding rune can make.)

#

not sure if anyone else caught this, but the comment about "expecting prices to be in the 40-100m range" is interesting because, READING SUPER INTO IT, does that mean the min bids (and thus the reserves since they are one in the same) are on the lower side for most of the items?

#

not taking into account the fact that many believe that range to be unlikely for reasons

gleaming sorrel
#

I think this is a yes, like 6m or something! (I dont really know, but that sounds familiar)

I think he was more trying to say to everyone that he was expecting most of the times to be more in the mid-tier

minor comet
#

I think a lot of it is that people saying "everything will go for 100m" are just ignoring all the stuff they're not interested in. 😆

I suspect that at least 10 items will go for more than 250m, the rest of them are kind of a crap shoot
