Following in the footsteps of the [[Duskruin Treasure Trove]], [[:Category:Ebon Gate Festival|Ebon Gate]] received its own Treasure Trove raffle system in 2019.
'''Treasure Trove is located in the Jangling Junker.'''


==General Information (2023)==
''a mid-sized aging schooner sitting very low in the water, [Map Room 16], Lich #26421, go schooner, go shelter''
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.
==Introduction==
The Treasure Trove will be open to hold special token raffles from noon Eastern time to 2 am Eastern time beginning Oct 11 through Oct 31, 2019. There is a raffle every hour. When the item you want to try to win is featured on the shelf, use "an eel-etched raffle token" to enter. Each token is good for 1 use. Items will not cost any silver if you win.


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.
Tokens can be found in pretty much all activities in Ebon Gate.


To see a preview of items listed for the Trove, please see [[/saved posts|saved posts]].
You will need a current Games Pass to enter a Treasure Trove Raffle.


There is a record of the [[Ebon Gate Treasure Trove/2023|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).
Look on the shelf for the current raffle item, and on the tray for a preview of items that will be randomly selected for the next raffles. You can INSPECT the items on both surfaces for more information.

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.
