We're going to try something different for this Duskruin run!
The Treasure Trove (it's a thing... not a shop) will display five items for you to browse. One item you can purchase, and the other four are there for a display as "next up" treasure. If you purchase the one for sale, a random item will be selected from those on display, and that one will now be for sale. The empty spot within the items on display will be replenished.
An account can purchase only one item every 24 hours.
These items will sell for bloodscrip and will vary in style and quality. There should be many opportunities for players to purchase an item.
Items that don't sell will recycle after 12 hours.

> Is this restricted against F2P players buying items?
F2P will not be eligible to purchase items from the Treasure Trove at this Duskruin.
> Is the item(s) account/character attuned upon buying?
No.
>Will each account have access to the same items, or will it be different for each account? ie.. account 1 buys the item, different account comes along is there a different item for sale or will account 2 have the ability to buy the same item account 1 did?
I think I understand your question -- but what you see on the display is what you get. When that's purchased, that instance of that item is gone.
> Any idea what price range these items might have?
I'll give more information on this later.
> Does the expiration expire all 5 items, or just the top item so the next item moves up?
Just the item that didn't sell.
> Also, I'm assuming this is the new bag component distro method...
No, this is a completely separate system. There might be a limited number of expanders for sale, but the primary distribution method for those items will remain as it was previously -- through the sewers.

New this run is the Treasure Trove. This is a solution to unique/jackpot (T5/T6) feeder drops and something we will continue to fine tune at future (pay) events.
The Treasure Trove is a hybrid shop mechanic that will randomize an item for sale, as well as give a peek at items to come. Because you want to know what you're buying, you'll want to be sure to INSPECT each item. We've tried to include all the relevant information that is important to make an informed purchase decision. No need to read a sign for these!
Items will range from mid-tier value to high-tier value and will have a similar feel to what you'd see when digging. We will be deploying this system with a few anti-camping measures to try to keep this system as fair across the board as we can. Things such as no loitering, no purchase sniping, and no locking items out for others. Due to the nature of the Treasure Trove, it will be a feature only accessible to paid subscribers.
And just to whet your appetite in terms of what sort of items to expect, I'll list just a handful.
| Item | Description | Cost in Bloodscrip |
|---|---|---|
| a material swatch | treasure sack expander - # of items | 5000 |
| a slender wooden rod | treasure sack expander - # of same item | 5000 |
| a handful of sparkling dust | treasure sack expander - total encum of container | 7500 |
| a strand of veniom thread | treasure sack expander - weight reduction | 10000 |
| a low-necked ashen silver elesine gown graced with spiraling black coral beadwork | Yfane/Nalea gown | 10000 |
| a veil iron sledgehammer with a sharkskin-wrapped haft | +28 VHCW fluff scripted | 12500 |
| a massive ogre bone scabbard | "Fully unlocked Fancy Sheath with custom (brutal) messaging, enhancive | 25000 |
| an opalescent white vaalin band set with a blue-white frost opal | Ice ball ring | 5000 |
| a low steel maul | 6x with mind wrack flares | 200000 |
| a bloodstained leather quiver | Duping quiver | 500000 |
| an ethereal string | Make-a-Returner with special powers | 500000 |
Most items will be one-of-a-kind, but there may be larger quantities of certain items, such as the enchanting potions that were relocated to this system or the expanders that were a rare drop in the sewers.
The Treasure Trove will have a heap of items loaded into it. And just to repeat, we will be fine tuning it. This is its debut.

I think some lines got crossed somewhere for this to come across as a HESS replacement, maybe it's because a few similar items are in it. This is a replacement to using unique and jackpot feeder items, commonly called T5 and T6 by you, the players. You don't try to pull an item from it randomly and then pay for it, the items for sale rotate in and out on a timer with having one for sale at a time and four others on display as "up next." This is our solution to feeders and a prize wall. The moment something is purchased, one of the four items that were displayed rotates in to be for sale and a new item is placed on display. If the item isn't purchased, after some time it's rotated out and functions just as if it was purchased, the only difference is that the item can return for sale at some point.
The reasoning for adding a few high end items in here is due to how high profile items sell out instantly. This at least levels the playing field so that it's not gone within milliseconds of HESS opening up. As for why some other items were relocated from HESS to the trove is because they were either getting rotated out this run or they were going into a feeder (when the Dig was planned). The Trove also has no scaling in costs, and there are plenty of potions in the Trove (five of each).

The Treasure Trove is located inside the Duskruin Warehouse which is on Faida Lane, just northwest of Pell Square.
The Warehouse will have a delayed opening while we make sure all of the items are appropriately polished and ready for display.

This run, we're going to try something different with the Trove. Instead of having hundreds of items ranging from what you may consider a T4 to T6, we're going to have roughly ten or eleven items that are T6. They will draw nightly at approximately 10:30pm ET (one a day). We'll be starting this February 13th and it will run until February 23rd. Tokens will be single use (like EG) and will drop at roughly the same rate as they did in the August run in all Duskruin activities.
This layer of Duskruin will only be available to paid subscriptions. Tokens will drop for all players, but F2P will not be able to access the Trove.
Item list will be available as the Trove sends out items as it does. We have a decent mix of powerful items and useful items.

The Trove will be running this Duskruin, beginning with the first draw on August 17th, and the final one on August 30th so that the winner has time to pick up their prize on the last day.
The dabbler (located behind the curtain in HESS) will purchase any unwanted Trove tokens.
