If we still had specs to aethercraft, I would buy it for 350+. (assuming it would be doing something similar like giving more than one spec or such.)...but yea, as now, I wouldn't probably pay such.

Well, also keep in mind that it's an eyepatch, meaning it's jaunty and stylish!

You'll be obligated to say things like "Avast!" and "Arrrrr!" every so often when wearing it.

Can anyone explain escrow to me?

Escrow is what you have in artifacts (it shows 2/3 your artifact worth) You can bid those but expect to purchase credits or tradein to get your auction arti though.

You can spend that much. If you win, you pay up, either by trading in your artifacts or by buying credits. You have some time to make the choice, usually. If you don't pay up, they just force trade in your arties until you can.

Pretty sure it's bugged though, because it's giving me an escrow of about 1k more credits than I've spent on artifacts, let alone counting in the 2/3 trade in value. Either dingbat arties are valued crazy high or something is wrong.

It adds up how many credits you'd get from trading in all your artifacts and tells you that number.

You can then bid up to that number plus your credits (maybe just bound, I don't know, I've never bid enough to test that).

When it comes time to claim your items, you must have enough bound credits on hand (either by trading in artifacts or buying / converting credits) to pay your debts, and the artifact you bid on is yours.

I think it might be bugged. It says that I have an escrow of 93 credits yet I don't have any artifacts save for two items I purchased with dingbats.

Woh, yeah. I checked my escrow after you said that just out of curiosity, since I only have two artifacts (my shears and my Cririk doll) and it would be easy to check for errors. Aaand it's saying 1993 credits in escrow. I think if I ever had anywhere near that many credits ever in my life, I assure you, I would be considerably more blinged-out than I am at the moment.

Sounds like escrow has issues with dingbats.

PS did you bug it in game?

All of your artifacts give you the ability to have 666 credits in escrow.

So, by removing the vacuum I've got... 450 (kegs)+90 (vial+pipe)+300 (gloves)=840. Meaning my vacuum is priced at 160 credits (?)

I think you all would cry if you knew how much escrow I had..

And.. please more info about the auction items please.. (the questions already asked)!

Unlikely!

While it might be more than some of ours, I doubt it is enough to make us all cry.

Yes, there's a bug that's cropped up regarding dingbats. It'll be fixed, I'm sure!

Do the attunement planimeters, alcohol charms, and squad artifacts stack if you get more than one? How much of a bonus do you get for the squad power medals and alcohol charms?

First person I told did cry..

I've more or less settled on the thought that I'll never get a heaping heap of credits. I doubt I'd cry over a couple ten thousands credits

Heh. Poor person.

'Tis only a pile of credits!

... which have a nasty habit of continuing to pile up. Curse them!

Hmm. I'll make this simpler. I'll keep a running list of questions for the admin to be edited when I see more.

Cord: Does it remove the per month cooldown timer?
Compass: Does it cost power to use?
Cloak: How much bleed per attack -and- what attacks does this work on?
Eyepatch: Does this allow 100% in all profs (negate the 200% limit)
Medal: How much bonus power per tick in squads?
Endowment: Do these stack if you win more than one (i.e. can you get 3+ tradeskills)?

I've seen an escrow that was over 25k at one point in time. Can you beat that?

Nope (thank goodness)
