New Spawn

With a new season comes a new spawn and other builds! Check them out below:

As well as this, there are new spawns for each of the smaller worlds. Here a just a few that you can look forward to seeing!

New Content

Bidding Slot

The brand new Bidding Slot is now available on the auction house, accessible by doing /ah in game.

Players can bid to own the slot, where they'll be able to list an item that they wish to sell.

To claim ownership over the slot, players have until the previous owner's slot expires or a minute to bid for the slot. After time's up, the player with the highest bid claims ownership!

Only 1 player can own this slot at a time, and whoever owns the slot gets an auction listing that appears in the main auction house menu and can be bid on by other players.

This biddable slot means players can get more money for the items they are selling if people are competing for it. While there is a bid running, players will still be able to bid on whoever gets the next auction slot.

Auction Search

You'll now be able to search for items in the auction house with ease! Players can do the /ah search (item name) command in chat or simply click the compass in the top right of the auction house menu.

After doing the command, a menu will come up with the items relating to your search.

Request Items

Players can now request items that they wish to buy in the Auction House. To begin creating requests, do /ah as normal. Click on Request Items at the middle-bottom and it will take you to the Requests menu.

Click the beacon in the bottom-right to begin looking for items that you want to request. Scroll through each of the the categories by shift-clicking the doors to find the items that you need.

There is a special custom items section in the menu which is a bit bare at the moment, but we'll be adding more items to the list over time (we've got quite a lot of custom items!) so please bare with us.

Find the item you want to request and click on it. This will take you to a menu where you can decide to add more items to your request list or finish creating the request.

After creating the request, you'll be asked to type in chat how much you're willing to pay for the item(s) you're requesting. Type in your desired amount and you'll be able to see your requests in the menu. If you're unhappy with the request, you can always cancel it.

If you're looking to fulfill someone's Auction Request, then you can click on their item in the requests category.

Once you've offered the item that the player has requested, you'll be given the money that they offered to pay out. The player who requested the item will then be able to collect it from the requests category.
