Darn, the Wind is already more credits than I have on me. sad.gif laugh.gif Ah well... I'll have to see how high the price goes closer to the end and decide if I want to buy a small amount specifically for the auction, or just wait to get it when it goes on sale regularly.

The ethereal summoning artifact will still be worthless until fae are made uncritable.

And Xavius, those artifacts are now on sale permanently so anyone can get them.


which artifacts are?

Love the manse and symbol artifacts, but... why are all the cool manse add-ons so costly =(

Think about it this way: on other IRE games, player houses (manses) are themselves purchased with credits, including rooms. I believe that Lusternia is the only game to offer customiseable player manses for in-game gold (though I recall hearing that Achaea once had an auction that ran into the millions of gold for a simple plot of land, yikes!).

It did. I played achaea for a long while...and Hashan lots went for upwards of 500,000 as a norm. Then the manse on top of that. I got one for free once and had huge sums of gold being thrown at me.

You know what we need?

More glowing Spin the Bottle bottles. A few previous owners went inactive. Cycle some more back in!

I think Imperian's is gold based as well, though there's limits as to how much housing is available.

Every city/commune has a room where lotteries and auctions are handled. The room is not marked, but is usually around the gambling facilities. Ask over CT for directions.

From there, AUCTION BID places the bid. Bidding works a bit like eBay--your bid starts low and automatically raises as more people bid, up to the amount set when you placed your bid.

Credits must be bound and on your player. The only exception is with an artifact escrow account, which you probably don't have.

(Speaking of escrow...

I'm emotionally attached to my artifacts and could never use them in escrow.
Acrune2007-12-05 07:03:45
You don't have to use your arties if you bid with escrow. If you have 600 credits of escrow, you can bid them all, and if you win, buy 600 credits to pay with.

I'm sure there are people with more than me. I don't even have a cubix.

Here's hoping the Great Rune of the Magi doesn't stack with the magicrown (and to a lesser extent, the torc). Being able to clot and focus at nearly half cost would give you fairly obscene protection from druids, blademasters, and telekinetics.
