    I did say "supposedly". No context, after all.

    I'd still imagine the first time b/o here was a simple error, though -- but I'll cede that any misconceptions were surely rectified with the second b/o. Either way, getting sniped on a post-hoc buyout while asleep seems less than reasonable, and if that's the conventional way of doing business here then there are much broader problems than someone simply exercising their right to sell or not for any reason.

    680a

    475 a

    Not for nothing but if mango retracted all offers it would mean that the current offer is 470 a (prior to this post).
    The 670 offer came after mangos offers so idk what’s going on in this thread. B/os posted then not honored and then everything gets jacked up? If I was Serus I’d demand the bidding back at the correct level now - you don’t get everything to work out in your favor after a renig like that lol….wild

    Nah, I'll affirm 670a as my bid.

    I think what's ended up happening is that OP meant an r/b? Look at their account age -- it's quite new. I'm just going on the assumption it was an honest mistake.

    Either way, b/o pricing and the seeming expectations around it appear... silly in an open-ended auction. Really kind of defeats the point, don't you think?

  • Zelkas Runs and Campaign Rushes

    Greetings!

    Discord: @krysyth

    IGN: Alvs Zelkas

    Due to real-world obligations, I have changed the structure of my longer campaign rush services. Please see below.

    I offer a variety of runs, rushes, and closely-related quest completion services. I'm not a cheap date, but you get what you pay for.

    (Almost) all proceeds go to feeding my Eyes of Janthir.

    Stock offerings are organized below by type and campaign. I'm also open to custom orders on a case-by-case basis.

    ---

    Rushes of NF/EotN will be scheduled upon interest for at least three (3) accounts at 700e/slot. If you need fewer than three accounts and want to be contacted when interest is sufficient, please reach out on Discord.

    NEXT SCHEDULED Nightfall RUSH

    TBD

    NEXT SCHEDULED EotN RUSH

    TBD

    Important Information:

    • I am in the UTC-5 timezone (CST/CDT/Chicago time).
    • I am strictly unable to provide services before 1800 UTC on Mondays/Wednesdays. I cannot provide services on Thursdays for the time being.
    • All prices are listed in ecto. I will take the equivalent in arms (39e/a, 10/14/2025); round down fractional arms <=.5 on conversion).
    • Payment is generally expected upfront or otherwise before completion for runs you intend to fully AFK.
      • If we've worked together before, later is fine.
    • I do not do vanquishing, dungeons, general mission clearing, powerleveling, rep farming, or speedbooking.
    • Open to large/custom orders, please DM on Discord to discuss pricing, scheduling, etc.
    Display Spoiler
    • I can provide any of the below services without your input if you are comfortable sharing login details for the account. I can also provide AFK versions of the rushes with some additional setup - please inquire.

    If you're interested, please message me on Discord or in-game (see signature below). Discord is highly preferred.

    Campaign Rushes

    Please note that campaign rushes are, in general, not survivor/deathless-friendly. I can, however, arrange a survivor-safe version of a rush for a surcharge; reach out for details.

    Clients should not use partywide consumables, summoning stones, or partywide DP removal items at any time unless specifically directed to do so.

    Please review the respective requirements before commissioning/joining a rush. They are important.

    Display Spoiler

    Note: NF/EotN pricing below reflects an off-schedule rush for a single player/account. Fill multiple slots and get discounted pricing as low as 575e/slot for a full party of 5.

    Tengu Buckler 2-3a

    Tengu is a rare +10 mod

    Even with it being +9 v. Tengu/+28hp? That seems surprising.

    Quote from Brock

    Hello, I am interested in the Tall Shield.

    I think it doesn’t have much value, but we can find a fair price if you want to sell it :)

    Selling it would be better than having it eat bank space. Feel free to DM me here or on Discord; I'll be able to check back in a few hours from this post.

  • Fashion Wars / Show your Character

    Dervish main before I quit playing sometime in late '07 or early '08, Dervish main today. It's not an awfully unique look, but I remember doing a lot of Yak's runs and other weird stuff to buy my Primeval back in the day as a kid. Still think the design is very cool.


    Also tried to branch out into Mesmer lately. Not really my thing, but they get neat outfits.

  • Xunlai Marketplace: post limit for Buy/Sell/Services

    Quote

    We are currently experimenting with a post limit for the Buy/Sell/Services boards. In essence, you will need a total of 5 posts before you are allowed to post in these boards.

    I've lurked since coming back to the game in ~February and I'm curious about the reasoning on this. Is it just a problem with low-effort posting, spam, or something similar?

  • PC -- Some OS Items

    Hey there. I need the mandatory minimum posts to start a services offered thread, so I figured I'd ask if any of this was worthwhile since I really have no idea where else to do that. Not too familiar with the OS market aside from some broad, general ideas about what could be valuable, so while I imagine most of this is junk, maybe something is worth a few ecto.

    Thanks in advance.
