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 DELAYED 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 bs to remove properties of mechanical value, but only 1000 bs to remove fluff (non-mechanical) properties. The dabbler does not work on items with temporary properties.

Refund Policy

Posted by GM Thandiwe on the official Discord. 

Below is a list of the rules for refunds that were given to the players:

We are updating the refund policy on item and service purchases at Duskruin.

Our refund fee will be 10% flat from now on. We're also tightening the timelines here. HESS purchases can only be refunded within 24 hours of the service being applied.

Here is a list of other refunds.

No refunds beyond 24 hours after general purchases. No fee on purchases made within 24-hours that are a mistake.
No refunds on items purchased during previous runs. This has always been the policy, just repeating it.
No refunds on Mania items. This includes refunds on other items because of your Mania win.
No refunds on WPS services. If you make a mistake on type, please ASSIST.
As long as you ASSIST with the refund request before the 24-hour mark, it is considered within that 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.
