It's the Friday before Christmas, and all through the week.... QC was hustling and bustling to allow some new leaks.

Smooth stone… I hope it enhances experience gain just for the lolz!

I'm going to guess a chance to flare +10 TD. I can't remember the different versions we've seen so far.

Updated the TownCrier page, but found a discrepancy in a past teaser in the process!

Nyxus — 12/10/2025 6:59 PM
You analyze the andesite stone and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

When held or worn, the andesite stone has a chance to flare, providing you with a 30-second effect that increases the power of your Magical SMR strength by +10.

The basalt stone may be altered but it must remain a stone.

+25 CS endroll seems so OP. Who got that one?

flint kite
#

Which, reviewing Leafiara's reposted teaser above, makes the previous claims a bit sus

(...) the stone is **unique **and it is the property of a mysterious fraternal order

#

I mean, so far they're unique from each other, right?

#

Only by description. a jagged igneous stone suspended from a scintillating steel chain was the previous +10 magical SMR

jagged jacinth
#

would they do a +10 AS/+25 AS one?

vocal verge
#

Looks like the previous +10 magical SMR went for 400k bloodscrip, the previous +10 physical SMR went for 650k bloodscrip, and the previous gemstone astrolabe that I didn't even realize existed went for 666,666 bloodscrip.

And the +25 CS went for 2m 🤯

#

Hmm. Until now I'd only been analyzing past silver auctions for comparison, but I guess I'd better start looking at Manias too now that we know there's enough item overlap.

#

The last Belt of Kai went for 669,555 bloodscrip.

Man, the 2022 Rumor Woods raikhen auction was basically nonstop wild steals and I see why they never did it again. It's so crazy I have to pretend it never happened because it would completely skew any sense of pricing if I did count it.

flint kite
#

Was that before currency normalization?

vocal verge
#

Oh, right, so it was. Even then, though... no shot that a custom login/logout would go for only 14k bloodscrip at Mania back then instead of 7k raikhen, for example.

jagged jacinth
#

Not really steals in my opinion, they were rewarding players who participated in Rumor Woods. The players that did so, got to reap some benefits.

#

I think I have to not count the first day of the two-day August 2022 Duskruin Mania either because that was a reverse auction format.

Remember a time when you had to use all your allotted luck just to RNG win the privilege of paying 250k just to add a base script an item that you would then have to fully pay to upgrade..... crazy times

Finally found a dwarf empath tattoo in the (regular) auction portion of August 2022 Mania for 925k bloodscrip and two people also price matched.

Edit: Also a dwarf empath tattoo at February 2022 Mania for 900k bloodscrip! And one at August 2021 Mania for 800k bloodscrip!

Aren't there some rare wings in existence that a handful of players have? What are those called again?

#

I want to say they were called Elemental Wings. Roh had the ice version for a long time. I ended up parting with them because they are/were back worn which is really inconvenient 😄

maiden salmon
#

This is why all of my backworn items are toquas and my backpacks are hidden under a shimmer trinket. For shirts and such we just pretend a hole is cut there.

But to actually take up an inventory slot, yes I can imagine that is something to consider when bidding.

There are three types that I know of, the Elemental Wings, the Gosaena Wings, and the Decay Wings. I think only the Elemental variety take up an inventory slot, the Gosaena Wings are in a tattoo slot and... I forget what my DecayWings are and I'm too lazy to log in to check 😅

You pick up a grizzled grey monkey paw.

look paw
The paw is stiff and leathery, its coarse fur thinned to patchy wisps along the knuckles. The nails on each finger are dark and ridged from years of use. Fine cracks run through the skin of the palm, packed with old dirt and sweat, and the pads are worn nearly smooth. A faint, musky odor clings to it, like dried leaves and sun-baked stone. ||REDACTED||

Biggest silver auction EVAR

Biggest silver auction would be quite a feat, though certainly not impossible. The April 2023 one took 18,272,557,500 silver and I think the teasers so far are capable of breaching 10b, so it depends how frontloaded the top end things have been. Edit: That's without even counting the three mystery items either.

I've never used a tally weapon.... but 2 questions:

  1. With a tally weapon, do you have to land the killing blow to gain a tally, or just do damage?
  2. does it sustain the enchant as the tally's add up, or does it drain the tally marks as you attack?

Like, once you hit +100, does it just stay at +100 until you go 3 minutes without a kill?

flint kite
#

Has there ever been a tally bow? That would be ❤️‍🔥. It's always seemed like a fun script in general

cloud lion
#

They were all axes I think

umbral inlet

if the wiki is accurate, looks like 2 handaxes

brittle knoll
#

You do have to land the killing blow, though I've updated it so it catches more things (like flares). It was a little behind in that.

Once you get to max, it stays there as long as you keep slaying.

Out of the current teasers, I expect nine items (including duplicates) to go for 200m or less. Tiny chance of ten. The last locus replica went for 150k bloodscrip in the August Duskruin thread, but that one was only stamina without the stat boosts and it was also kind of in an obscure location on Discord while this is a giant event auction in-game.

Tally axes were made originally as just axes, but if it's of interest I can explore opening it up to other weapon bases.

Tally could technically work as a flourish, but I wouldn't hold your breath on it. It has some assumptions around starting with a clean item. Could be cool to brainstorm a flourish similar though.

A smouldering skeletal dreadsteed's head tosses and it lets out a terrible death whinny that slices coldly through the air.  It sags, lifeless, the blue flames of its mane winking out one by one.
The licks of blue flame surrounding a smouldering skeletal dreadsteed flare up one last time before vanishing with a staticky crackle.

Heh, by sheer happenstance, "200m but no" is exactly what I have written in my auction text file--200m meaning that's what I'd pay and "but no" meaning that somebody else will pay vastly more.

...wait, how are there like ten more pins than last time I looked?!

Okay, so a lance with an exploding rift SMR AoE, a... somethingorother SMR AoE with terror flare effects?, and an MDR (!) Ghostly Chains-ish effect, maybe. And 70 damage flares. And fluff.

And then another lance with... more MDR(?!) doing something pre-resolution, not sure what the second example is, and SMR AoE ghosts attacking. In a Cholen theme.

Edit: Oh, second example is like a double strike for +1 RT. Edit 2: Wait, no it's not. The second hit has higher DS, so different dreadsteed? Shades of "we think Nyxus' drake falchion is doing a double strike but actually it's TWC with two identical drake falchions" teaser going on here. Captain Elanthia shield-style multi-hit with a verb?

flint kite

Guessing it’s AoE, considering the messaging “a few enemies at once”

scenic jacinth
#

The first one I teased has a build-and-spend mechanic.

#

The other one just builds and cycles.

The way I saw it, the first one was:
Major Ewave Effect

MDR ghostly chains
Hard hitting flares

But if you've ever had anything made out of black alloy and wished it could be, y'know, greater...

very cool messaging regardless - would love to know the specific mechanical details 😄

#

That first lance first ability might be some kind of distance maneuver going by the messaging. Ghostly Chains and opposite Ghostly Chains on the same item? Pull enemies to you or you go to them.

Edit: Also, "The burning rage reaches its zenith, engulfing your soul to form a conflagration of unstoppable wrath!" is Storm of Rage messaging, just in case anyone doesn't know that. It's not related to the lance. Or at least I'm assuming it isn't!

Based on the names and messaging... if Drunken Prodigy is the SPIN, then Piercing Wit is likely the WAVE and Brave Companions the RAISE. So that would leave Helping Hand as the other thing that happened on the WAVE and SPIN.

Oh. I guess I should also tease...

# 
You wrap your arms around your black alloy lance, pulling it close to your chest.  Night-dark tentacles of shadowstuff burst forth from the weapon, embracing you.  A shiver runs through you as though icy fingers are trailing along your spine, and for a moment, you feel as though you are being consumed by frigid darkness.  Slowly, the lance melds with your flesh, a few squirming tendrils of shadow wriggling as they pull themselves in afterward.  You feel whole.

(You can use SUMMON ITEM to retrieve your black alloy lance.)```
#

You will your black alloy lance into your waiting hand. Darkness seeps from your chest, crawling forth in frothing tentacles and snapping maws. The viscous mass crawls down your arm, coalescing into the form of a crude black alloy lance.

Alright, so my next spoiler needs a little context. I started looking at old but cool materials that felt like they were getting left behind and tried to see if we could breathe a little more life back into them.

I have two coming out as part of the auction. Anyone want to take a guess on which metals?

A war griffin rakes at you with a razor-sharp claw!
AS: +425 vs DS: +380 with AvD: +7 + d100 roll: +63 = +115
... and hits for 3 points of damage!
Weak slash across chest!
Slightly less painful than heartburn.

** Your full plate meets the war griffin's right hand with unyielding force! **
The war griffin starts to favor its wounded right hand!
... 10 points of damage!
Brushing blow to right hand.

You swing a handaxe at an ashen patrician vampire!
AS: +513 vs DS: +473 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +39 = +108
... and hit for 2 points of damage!
Weak slash to the patrician vampire's right arm.
That doesn't even sting.
** Your handaxe bursts with radiant silver light, causing the patrician vampire recoil in agony. **
... 20 points of damage!
Nasty burns to chest make you wish you never heard of heartburn.
The patrician vampire is stunned!

If it’s gonna also end up being generally available I might, maybe, regret not waiting to transmute my qstaff cause it would be the strongest stick in the woooorld

So I'll refer to these as purified versions of the existing materials. Both of these work as both weapons and armor.

Purified Adamantine adds an standard impact flare that (almost) always hits the same location and causes either cripple or weakened armament depending on what hits. Oh, and purified can now be lightened.

Purified Eonake only flares against undead, but adds standard fire flares, slows and reduces the targets AS by 25.

These teasers are all Extremely Cool if you are a physical combat class. Itemization for pures in GS is so sad.

I'm quite confident people will outbid me on the purified eonake. It's the kind of thing I'd only win if you needed to redeem the win on the spot and nobody knew it was coming, but now people who don't normally use eonake can gather their gear in advance!

Purified adamantine, on the other hand... that unlock cert has potential to be a steal for someone if it's a redeem-on-the-spot win. It's not like there's an enormous surplus of adamantine in the world!

Constructed from burlap, veniom, and elesine threads, the handwraps are partially translucent.  Along the fabric's edge and throughout the handwraps, the elesine threads are interwoven with silver-hued cloth-of-veniom, lending the handwraps a luminous aspect.  The burlap protects the handwraps, rendering them durable in combat.  You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

You analyze the elesine handwraps and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

[Wehnimer's, Shanty Town]
No bright lamps light the unpaved road here, and the layer of mud that passes for streets in Shanty Town is treacherous and slippery with seepage from the nearby river.  A few sorry shacks stand cluttered together in this southeast corner, their doors and windows dark with tattered and drawn curtains, holding untold tales of suffering or malice.  You also see a rock-lined path that leads past one of the shacks.
Also here: Xenu
Obvious paths: north, west

Suddenly, your ring spouts thick clouds of fog.  In the next heartbeat, you feel yourself launch into the air, and you hurtle through empty space, followed by your group!  Abruptly, the sensation ceases, leaving you a bit unsteady on your feet.

[Wehnimer's, North Ring Rd.]
The road turns gradually at this point as it forms the northwest corner of the city.  The main path curves along the north and west walls, and another leads south between the buildings.  The massive oak and modwir logs of the city palisade tower overhead.

Guppy reminder making perm gold rings an unlockable type item instead of a skip to 50m plus.

Ots like it’s 1 setting and charges based on feeding it gold rings. Unlocks for charges per ring, locations, eventually get to perms. Sell a tattoo version for the attuned price but frees up the item slot. Thanks for coming to my poor Ted talk.

You raise your black leather enchiridion before you, walking forward as you stare at the writing on its pages.  Larger and larger the writing seems to loom in your vision as a stiff wind smelling of preservatives and old paper consumes you.  There is a rustle of parchment all around you, the dry susurrus becoming all that you can hear.  And then there is silence.  You look around and see that your surroundings have changed.

[The Library, Auchand's Study]
The small chamber is gently illuminated by the strange stormlight filtering through wide hexagonal windows of leaded glass that look out upon an alien plateau.  Along the walls, shelves hold old books that season the air with the the tang of old leather, the bite of preservatives, and the dry undercurrent of aged parchment.  Silhouetted against the windows' illumination, a writing desk stands, replete with quills and ink.

Looks like spells are getting a little better. Is this goodbye to square supremacy?

brittle knoll
sonic ocean
#

So that's like +10 Spell Ranks towards that spell?

brittle knoll
#

Spell Specializations act as phantom ranks in that spell circle for anytime you cast that specific spell.

Additionally

  • For bolt spells, they add +1 AS for every 2 ranks of specialization in that spell.
  • For warding spells, if you have over your character level in spell circle ranks, you will get an additional over-warding bonus of +1 for every 4 ranks of specialization in that spell.

Ohhh yeah!

flint kite
#

Siiiiick

vocal verge
brittle knoll
#

Spell circle ranks count towards SMR spell power, so they will improve that.

quick verge
#

So if I understand, if these were +10 Divine Fury, +10 Divine Wrath gloves, since I'm over my level in 300s I'd gain 2 CS in each?

brittle knoll
#

2 CS and 2 overwarding bonus.

#

So at 40 ranks it'd be +10 CS and +10 overwarding bonus when in your typical warding caster build (150+ primary spell circle ranks)

vocal verge
cloud lion
#

i think you'd get normal level training and an additional +1 per 4 ranks.... yeah that i guess zissu knows too

brittle knoll
flint kite
#

Overwarding = bonus to endroll, if you ward? "Weighting for CS" as Nyxus(?) called it?

quick verge
#

Help me out. Overwarding bonus means it would tack 10 onto endroll if successful?

brittle knoll
#

Sorry, yes. When I say overwarding I mean the the post roll endroll bonus on success.

flint kite
#

Glad to have a name for it tbh

cloud lion
#

phantom endroll, the true CS final boss

#

so if you're a pretty typical CS caster build in the 159-200 spell ranks bracket for CS formula you'd get, for a +10 enhancive, 0.25 * 10 = 2.5 CS and the 10/4 = 2 phantom endroll, just to lazy m ath it out.

quick verge
#

I mean I haven't missed a cast outside of the wyrm since level 3 so I'm not worried about hitting stuff. I just like Big CS Number

brittle knoll
#

I should cavieat that like the spell circle spellbooks, these also require you to have at least 30 ranks in that spell circle in order for these to work for you.

#

It's a cool idea. Unless they end up not costing much I do not think the juice will be worth the squeeze for me, personally. But I like the idea of progressing itemization for pures

Fun. Although interesting (though not surprising) that they appear to be pure-centric at the moment, though I feel like a semi might actually have more potential benefit. That was my first thought anyway - a way to approach partial redux while still being performant. Either way, exciting to see a new system. Something tells me next DR is going to be spicy

rich plover
#

Sweet new system. This is a big release!

vocal verge
#

The semi benefits would be the hotness not even because of redux, but just because of how the spells work. But that does assume availability on every spell, which maybe wouldn't necessarily happen!

flint kite
#

Would they work on SK spells? Let's say there was a ranger masquerading as a geomancer with 510, for example... oh nvm, you said they had the 30 rank requirement

oblique shoal
cloud lion
#

non-combat spells? 330/925/etc.

brittle knoll
#

As it launches, the plan right now is to not to have excluded spells. Some spells will be more beneficial than others, but most spells get some type of benefit from spell ranks.

green loom
#

so any profession could use those spells?

brittle knoll
#

They don't add Spell Knowledge, and they only work if you have 30 ranks in the same spell circle as that spell. So they aren't meant to enable spells across professions, no.

green loom
#

so it just boosts cs for the spells it enhances?

brittle knoll
#

The CS for warding, the AS for bolts, Spell Power for SMR ranks, Duration for most buff spells, etc. Yeah.

crystal wren

30 rank restriction. There goes my hope for a 50 rank shroud of deception item

I assume these new spell enhancives will need to be charged? And they’re probably (?) crazy expensive to recharge like SK/MK stuff?

cloud lion

honestly i would kinda hope not, as far as cost goes i mean i assume they are standard enhancives cause they were in enhance list in the example. Cause unless there's more to the system and they do some for now unspecified extra effect it's....ultimately a pretty small bonus for any typical build. It's additional but like, worse than boosting your main CS/AS stat in every way. I know the scaling comparisons can't be direct cause maaaagiiiiiiiiic but it's like, boosting cman after you're done with str/weapon skills.

So since they are eahnor and you blanked that out before, does that mean when it assaults the mob the metal effects could be applied? So if we aren't eahnor lovers would could go rusalk and get the proc?

#

Definitely not. I blanked it out before because, WHILE EXTREMELY RARE TO THE POINT OF YOU PROBABLY NOT BEING ABLE TO UNLESS IT'S ONE OF MY MERCHANTS AND EVEN THEN UNLIKELY, the metal is more of an "accent" and potentially may be changed. You will also not see any material flare procs on these.

[Lajway Manor, Dock]
Weathered boards creak rhythmically under your feet as the water moves below. The painted wood is old and faded by sun and weather, and a faint scent of old fish and rotted vegetation combines with the fresh breeze from the bay. An old but still serviceable fishing boat is moored here, groaning against the pilings with each wave of the current. You also see the riverbank, a rusty old table with some fish guts on it, a soapbox with some smoked mackerel on it and an auction items note.
Obvious paths: none

I always forget cudgels actually aren’t completely awful. Like I always assume they are intentionally bad club like weapons to give NPCs but the stats are ya know. It’s a small weapon but not a joke. Basically I assume they’re the whip stat line

they aren't throwing-net awful, but they aren't handaxe and warmace levels of popular.

Anyone know how much those historically go for in silver auctions?

Wide range. You also have to keep in mind that the buying power of silver has varied widely over the years. Currently it’s quite a bit more valuable, relatively, than it has been for the last few (?) years. So all else equal, prices may be a bit lower.
