Information will be transferred to GSWiki after completion of the event
(Formerly known as the Q4 Auction)
Dates and Time
Saturday, December 17th in Prime at 11am (Eastern)
Sunday, December 18th in Plat at 11am (Eastern)
(as of Dec 13, the calendar says these may still be slightly adjusted)
Location
Tents will be located in Wehnimer's Landing - Hearthstone Courtyard (probably lich ID 410)
Participation
There will be two tents, one for Premium subscribers and one for all paid subscribers. Premium (and Platinum) can go into either tent, but Prime (Basic) can only go into the tent for all paid subscribers. F2P will need to upgrade to a paid subscription to participate.
The auction will not be held in Shattered in this format, but the items will be made available through another venue.
Additionally, player-supported venues will offer auction extra coverage.
1. The TownCrier team will have someone in each tent to tell people what is up for auction, and who won an auction when it completes. Please ;tune TownCrier on Lnet to listen.
2. Durakar will keep complete notes in a Google Sheet of the items at the auction at: http://tinyurl.com/hcgedhe.
3. Join Durakar as he live streams both tents via twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/diablorist and hosts a Discord server with voice chat and music requests: https://discord.gg/3PYBPxu
Character Creation and Premium Subscription
There will be a cut off to character creation and Premium subscription to enter the auction. Character creation will encompass rerolling/starting over. The exact date for both of these will not be supplied, but there is time as of 11/23/2016 10:30 pm EST to get things straightened out. Do not wait too long.
Bidding
You will need all the silver and/or notes on your person at the time of BIDing. Notes can be from any bank anywhere in the lands. The bidding mechanics validate the silvers on your character at the time you type BID [amount]. Coin hands, pouches, banks, gambling kits, and any other silver storing item do not get accounted for when checking your silver amounts.
Limitations
Each account will be limited to one win.
Passed Items
Items that do not receive any bids will not be returning for another round of bidding during the Q4 auctions.

The items posted about below are teasers. There will not be detailed listings of items before the event.
In-Auction

Post-Auction
You are welcome to post about your auction item soon after you pick up your newfound treasure. You can post questions about your item, if you're having trouble, but try to discover the properties of an item as best as you can before seeking answers from the creators.
