The High End Scrip Shop, also known as HESS, originated during the August 2015 run of Duskruin as a higher end bloodscrip auction. Over the years, it has grown to offer services and some items through certificates.

The High End Script Shop has since evolved to only stock service certificates that require GM involvement as part of their redemption. Services available in the High End Script Shop can be tracked via the DUSKRUIN VIEW verb. Many services which were formerly available in the High End Script Shop have now been automated and moved to the Annex. The Annex's inventory is included with the standard full shop listing for each run.

Certificates purchased at the High End Script Shop have a hard deadline by which they must be redeemed for each run. Failure to redeem a High End Script Shop certificate by that deadline will result in the certificate being voided.

General Information

The High End Scrip Shop offers certificates to improve an adventurer's current gear, purchase ores to create weapons or armor from rare materials, or purchase a rare artifact. Prices range from 15k bloodscrip to 500k bloodscrip or more. The shop itself generally opens within a week of the opening night of each Duskruin run. Sometimes it can take longer.

Location

The High End Scrip Shop can be found at the northern most portion of the lower ring within Duskruin Arena, marked by the yellow H on the map.

Annex

Many services that were previously located in the High End Scrip Shop can now be found in its automated counterpart, the Annex.

Additional Information

Dabbler

A perky bearded dabbler premiered through the curtain of the High End Scrip Shop at the August 2020 run of Duskruin Arena. The automated item property removal service takes bloodscrip, and costs 5000 bloodscrip to remove properties of mechanical value, but only 1000 bloodscrip to remove fluff (non-mechanical) properties. The dabbler does not work on items with temporary properties.

Refund Policy

The refund fee is a flat 10%. The deadline to apply for a refund is 24 hours from the time of purchase. Delayed service purchases that have been redeemed must be refunded within 24 hours of the service being applied.

No refunds beyond 24 hours after general shop purchases. No fee on purchases made within 24 hours that were a mistake. No refunds on items purchased during previous events. No refunds on auction items or live event services (e.g., Mania wins). This includes refunds on other items because of your auction win. No refunds on WPS services and Weight Reduction services. If you make a mistake on the type, please ASSIST. No refunds on gilded locus services. If you make a mistake, the NPC can help you reconfigure your locus.

As a further clarification to the existing refund policy, all live event and auction purchases are explicitly sold as-is. These items and services are final upon delivery and will not be revised or changed. This includes requests based on personal preference or design interpretation. Correction of clear errors is still available but should be reported promptly. Errors are limited to objective mistakes and do not include creative or mechanical design choices. Please consider this carefully when making any purchases.

As long as your ASSIST for a refund request is placed before the 24-hour mark, it is considered within the allowed window.

Big Spin Nights

Some prior runs of Duskruin held a GM-run Big Spin Night event, which tested selling limited higher end items in HESS via an alternative means to even out distribution. This started with the August 2021 run but has since been retired. Anything that had not been sold during this process was re-offered in the HESS afterward.
