Ebon Gate Treasure Trove

Following in the footsteps of the Duskruin Treasure Trove, Ebon Gate received its own Treasure Trove raffle system in 2019.

General Information (2023)

A Treasure Trove is a token raffle. It draws once a day, around 9pm game-time, (Eastern/NY). This year at Ebon Gate, there are five Treasure Troves. 4 of them within Gavelsdown Hall, and one for Private Property Owners in the shop called The Roof Over. To enter the drawing, you buy a token from the attendant in the sitting room, look for the gjenganger. You can only put one token in each drawing. Tokens cost 100,000 silvers (probably not from a note). Drop your token in the wooden drawer to enter the raffle. The display shelf shows the item currently up for a raffle, while the circular tray holds four items that are on deck, on of which will be randomly selected for the next drawing.

A Service Pass is required for the Troves.

You do not have to be present or even logged in to GemStone to win. If your token is drawn, your prize will rest on the rack in the Trove's room for 24 hours. Only you will be able to take it from the rack.

There is a record of the Trove Items on a wiki page (and hey, anyone can lend a hand at recording these for posterity! There's an easy copy/pasta with all the wiki coding at the bottom of the wiki page for you to add an item).

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*   THE TREASURE TROVE   *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Welcome to The Treasure Trove!

~~ HOW THIS WORKS ~~
 - Find a raffle token somewhere in this realm.  In many cases, these tokens will drop from games and/or event activities.  In other cases, these tokens may be purchasable.  Refer to information provided about the particular event for further details.
 - Look on the display shelf.  This is the current item up for raffle.  Raffles will not run between 2 AM and noon, Eastern time, so if the shelf is empty, it is because the Treasure Trove is currently inactive and will "wake up" outside of those designated times.  (Please note: the "wake up"  time may vary by as much as 30 minutes from day-to-day.)
 - Look on the circular tray.  This holds the next item(s) up for raffle.  The "next" selection is random.
 - If you are interested in being included in the raffle for the item on the tray, insert (DROP) your token in the wooden drawer for a chance to win the raffle.
 - You can LOOK at the cabinet and the drawer to get important information about the Treasure Trove.

~~ HOW DOES A RAFFLE TOKEN WORK? ~~
 - Raffle tokens have 1 use.
 - DROP or PUT your raffle TOKEN IN the token DRAWER.  You can enter a raffle as many times as you want.

~~ WHAT IF I WIN A RAFFLE? ~~
 - If you win a raffle, you (and only you) will be messaged that you won (if you're online), noting the item that you won.  This item MUST be picked up before the next raffle item draws.  If you fail to pick up the item, both the item and the token used for the raffle will be forfeit.
 - Winning accounts will be locked from raffle participation for 36 hours (1 days).  THIS IS NOT ACTIVE FOR EBON GATE

~~ HOW OFTEN WILL RAFFLES OCCUR? ~~
 - When the Treasure Trove is awake (not between the hours of 2AM and noon, Eastern time,) raffles will draw every 1440 minutes [24 hour(s)].  A raffle will not start (ie: no item moved to the shelf) if its draw time would fall during the sleep hours.

~~ CAN I SELL MY RAFFLE TOKEN? ~~
 - Maybe!  Depending on the event, it's possible that an NPC will buy-back your tokens.  Look for an attendant near the Treasure Trove and ASK him/her about TOKEN to get more information.
