Artifact Auction

Written by: Dranor, God of Imagination
Date: Thursday, October 25th, 2007
Addressed to: Everyone


Imperian will be holding an artifact auction, starting on Saturday,
October 27th. The bidding will end on or around Saturday, November 3rd.
The precise ending time will not be available as last minute bidding
activity can extend the auction.

Items for credits:

2 Custom Portal Wings
- This item will let you have your own, personal wings-like portal
room, with a customised item, command word, and exits.
- You will be able to choose 11 custom exits to any normal room in
Imperian, with the exception of cities, townes, guildhalls, etc.
These exits cannot be changed. All of them do not have to be
chosen immediately.
- The down exit will automatically be set to go to the portals room
accessed by the Orphanim Angel Wings.
- Due to the custom coding required for this, the starting bid will
be 1000 credits.
- These will be auctioned as tokens. If you are the winner, please
contact Dranor to redeem your token.

3 Artifact Pets
- These pets can be completely customised (within reason), but must
be described as a semi-normal animal. A giant eagle or a panther
is fine. A dragon or pegasus is not.
- One of the pets can be a flying pet. The other two will not be
able to fly.
- Each pet will allow for 10 skill slots, and are the only way that
any pet can have the combination of the mount and track abilities.
- Due to the custom work required for these, the starting bid will
be 500 credits.
- These will be also be auctioned as tokens.

Phantasmic Diadem
- Lets you choose a custom enter, exit, and room description. These
messages can be configured as often as you want with the CONFIG
command. They will require God approval before they will be set
to you. You can even remove the direction that you move in from
your enter/exit messages, allowing you to confound your enemies.

3 Housing Plots
- Allow you to build a house, anywhere (within reason) in the world.
- These will also be auctioned as tokens.

Pipe Filter Set
- Reduces smoking balance by 33%.

3 Chests of the Continuum
- Items placed in this chest will not decay.
- Applies to items that normally do not decay in a stockroom.
- Holds 50 items.

Raksha Band
- Known as the "ring of returning", this item allows you to mark a
room and instantly return to it.

5 Vials of Ubiquity
- When sipped/applied from, there is only a 1/3 chance that the sip
will be removed from the vial.

Stone Figurine
- Allows you to create stonewalls.
- Uses one stone commodity.

Flask of Divine Manna
- A never-ending vial of manna that will fully satiate you when
drunk. Become nearly immune to hunger-inducing afflictions!

Sanctified Aegis
- This artifact will, when you are protected by a shield tattoo
(or any ability that acts like a shield tattoo), convert any
aggressive attacks targetted at you that bounce off your shield
into 20 health.

Seer's Eye
- This item will allow you to PEER <eye> <player>, allowing you to
see everything in the room of any player, anywhere in the world,
as if you were there yourself.
- It will allow you to see into the room of anyone on any plane or
any alternate phase of reality (phased, blackwinded, etc). It
will not see through the Veil of the Obtenebrate.


Items for gold:

Heartwood Bow
Stygian Pendant
Silver Flintlock
Veil of the Obtenebrate
Ogre's Gauntlets
Hunter's Belt
Scholar's Sash
Pixie's Boots
Gem of Transmutation
Darrinic Robes

Information about the auction syntax is available in HELP AUCTION.

For items auctioned for credits, you do not need to have the credits for
your bid at the time that you make your bid. You will have seven days
after the conclusion of the auction to obtain the credits, bound to the
character that placed the bid. If you do not have the credits after the
seven days have passed, you will be shrubbed and will not be allowed to
play Imperian. Serious bids only!

For items auctioned for gold, you do need to have the gold in hand at
the time that you place your bid. The gold will be taken and will
temporarily be placed in escrow. If you are outbid, the gold will
automatically be refunded to you by letter.

If you have any questions about the auction, or any of the items being
auctioned, feel free to contact me.
