The auction house is getting an upgrade. As part of that upgrade, greater visibility of the imbuements present shall be displayed so the story is:

In order reduce the time spent viewing individual items up for auction
As a player
I want to see a description of the type and strength of the imbuements present on an item up for auction in the auction list.

Below is an example of what I currently think players want to see when viewing the aulist.

Code: Select all

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        ----- Available auctions -----
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Num   Auction Item        High Bidder  Seller      Bid(Max) Time Left

      pickaxe                                      (25p)    seconds
      Its surface has a faint blue tint.
      [Condition - if not 'It looks like it is in prime condition.']
      [Rust - if rusted]
36886 unusual black       -            XXXXXXXXX   17p      2 hours 8 minutes
      steel platemail                              (50p)    33 seconds
      Its surface has a faint brown tint.
36889 unusual dephonian   XXXX         XXXXXX      25p      4 hours 8 minutes
      shield                                       (75p)    33 seconds
      Quartz formations along its surface emit a faint glow.
36891 unusual jagged      XXXX         XXXXXXXXXXX 20p      5 hours 8 minutes
      knife                                        (150p)   33 seconds
      A pronounced aura of crimson energy surrounds this object.
The imbuements will also be added to the paddle hum as part of this story.

Is this what you want to see or do you have changes to the above that you would prefer?

We have made changes to the imbuements to support these Auction House upgrades. If you should see any differences in behavior for the imbuements, shoot me a mail in game.

The description of the imbuements present and item damage have been added to the paddle auction list. Item that have been imbued after the previous post will be displayed. All Imbued item will have their description after the next Armageddon.

To get an updated paddle, next time you are in sparkle, drop your current paddle and enter the auction house. Rommik will be happy to give you an upgraded paddle. The paddles themselves are biodegradable and will disintegrate in a couple minutes after being dropped.

The weapon condition (if not prime) was intentional.

Do you believe "fine condition" should also be excluded?

Do you think other conditions should be excluded?
