Soon after the auction came to a close, the staff could be seen scurrying around the area, gathering the items and assuring that they were prepared to be sent out to the auction goers. Attendants moved through the crowd, going through to start collecting the money. 

After some moments, the familiar auctioneer makes his presence known once more with a wide smile.

All items are set up, so ticket to collect! When making a ticket, make sure your coin is NOT a bag in your inventory, but stored within your stats for easy editing. Thanks.

Rumor has it that there will be a magical auction hosted on Tuesday (4PM EST). Remains open for 48 hours.

RULES REMINDER!!!
You may only bid on one item per round. You bid by posting, including your character name & amount of coin, and your bid must be at least 10% higher than the previous one.

If you lose a bid, then you're free to bid on something else.

You cannot withdraw bids. You're locked it, so choose carefully.

Bidding remains open from 48 hours of the round post. Unsportsmanlike behaviour of the 48 hour rule will be investigated and rectified. Only bid if your character actually has the coin available at the time of your post, and you should not be sharing coin with another to maximize chances of success; your coin is your own once you place a bid.

Some items may be sold in multiples and these have a set price to them, marked. They're first come first served.

You may respond to bids with in-game action after the auction concludes, but not during. 

If your character has not been actively roleplaying within the past few weeks you're not permitted to bid or use a middleman to do so for you. This includes passing off coin to help others.

Alacritas' Lotus
50,000 (Three Available)
An odd, nearly see-through flower that radiates a gentle silver. When one touches upon it, the colour shifts; focusing upon the emotion that the one holding it feels. There is a possibility such a plant needn't ever be watered, as it remains in full bloom regardless of the year. Buds of the lifestream are clear through the flowers' petals; an odd, intricate sort of plant that can assist in grand alchemical projects... Or as a simple accessory.

Psionic Transformation
50,000 (Five Available)
A magical enchantment that unlocks one's inner psychic gifts, allowing them to read the occasional thought of others.

Magitech Armaments
30,000 (Six Available)
Various enhancements that can be applied to body armor, including the material to make the upgrade. A runic link that strengthens the durability of the chosen piece.

Lightstone
30,000 (Six Available)
A transparent, glassy gem that holds a dim glow to it. If one were capable, they could contain mana and magical power within, as it passively absorbs nearby light.

Premium Adventurer's Backpack
25,000 (Ten Available)
A fancy, luxury adventurer's backpack! It comes with a regal, custom look. It has the effect of the belongings within being reduced to near zero weight, allowing for less burdensome travel.

Magical Baseball Bat
20,000 (Five Available)
It's a baseball bat! Pure, hard hitting nyeshk. Sure to pack a punch despite the crude, simple design. A good fit for most, whether mage or swordsman.

Skeleton King Ring
Starting Bid of 30,000c
Solomon, the first Oracle of the Equisol bloodline which has become synonymous with Aphros. While some might look back upon his leadership and raise question to his methods, none can argue that he managed to keep the Kingdom of Duality safe during his reign and subsequent murder by Ahriman. It is said that this ring was worn by Equisol as he raised crops from decay, back to their full bloom.

Mask of the Unseen
Starting Bid of 30,000c
The Kingdom of Duality is known for many things, this includes the 'rumor' of Athelios' chosen children, the city's greatest assassins and political combatants. Since the return of an Oracle to command the Faceless there was perhaps none better in the early years of playing their role than Aphros's agent, Sozha. This mask is but a remnant of what she has left behind, what allowed her to work as she did. Supposedly you will never be the same person after wearing it once.

Forest's Whisper
Starting Bid of 30,000
The famed Queen of Dal'Thala was known to many as a poet, some of Raenesa's work still kept in places around Meranthe such as Aphros' Gloomlight Library. These earrings are but one of the pieces that were blessed by song-like words which even Nemea's great trees enjoyed to listen to, said to change spoken word into poetry no matter how it was intended.

Flame Prince's Gaze
Starting Bid 30,000c
Once worn by the legendary giant, Glufdor, this helmet is one of the few pieces that was able to survive the calamity that befell Menagerie and created the volcano in his name. A ruinous event which scattered his many artefacts and armaments to the four winds... seemingly lost, or were they?

Tidesweeper
Starting Bid of 30,000c
The mighty ice sceptre of Valerie Von Marsh. Aenite craftsmanship is like a poem. Romantic detail on the forefront and at no cost to the performance. Deep golds like the warmth of the sun that sustains the world, vibrant as the soul of humanity. Wings of hope stretch from the haft, ivory, pristine, the wings upon which an impossible expedition would be carried aloft over vast treacherous seas.

Soulblade
Starting Bid of 20,000c
This metal is unlike any other. It responds to the user's emotions, bonds with them, and forms a persona of its own that may resonate with its wielder in psychic harmony. Body, soul, and sword become one. Living steel that will transform over time.

Scissor Blade: The Last Cut
Starting Bid of 20,000c
Known by its goblin name of An Gearradh Deiridh, wielded by the goblin-bandit Zonk prior to his unfortunate demise. An incredibly unique giant pair of scissors with many moving parts, changing at a whim. 

Inactive Barsburg Synthetic
Starting Bid of 20,000c
A synthetic model that's several centuries old and in need of repairs, but any capable artificer could reactivate it with proper investment. What would happen once it comes to life, though?

Overheat Spell Gem
Starting Bid of 5,000c
It's Overheat! (Kind of, not quite as potent) As a spell gem.

Tesla Ray Spell Gem
Starting Bid of 5,000c
It's Tesla Ray! (Kind of, not quite as potent) As a spell gem.

Double Slash Spell Gem
Starting Bid of 5,000c
It's Double Slash! (Kind of, not quite as potent) As a spell gem.

Blink Spell Gem
Starting Bid of 5,000c
It's Blink! (Kind of, not quite as potent) As a spell gem.

Rapidfire Spell Gem
Starting Bid of 5,000c
It's Rapidfire! (Kind of, not quite as potent) As a spell gem.

Coalesced Djinn Wisp
Starting Bid of 5,000c
Recently several wisps of fluffy silver clouds have been found across Meranthe. This is another, cloud-like with the essence of freedom and travel about it. It will instinctively follow a magi about.

Vial of Immortal Blood
Starting Bid of 5,000c
An unusual vial of blood that never seems to lose its color or freshness. Supposedly if you drink it you become an immortal, cursed to feed on others to survive. But surely that's a myth because vampires aren't real. Whatever the case the properties of the blood would interest any alchemist.
