The Dark Auction is an event held by Sirius where players can buy various items.
Purpose
The Dark Auction is an event that takes place throughout every three SkyBlock Days. When it starts, Sirius spawns in, and players can speak to him to queue into a Dark Auction instance. After about 10 seconds, Sirius will choose the richest players to disperse them evenly across multiple servers.
Currently, you need at least 400,000 Coins to enter the Dark Auction. It shows up on your Calendar after entering it at least once.
Items
There are 4 rounds to the Dark Auction, each with a different selection of items to be sold. The last round will always be a Flower Minion.
When Scorpius is mayor, he adds new items to the pool as well as 2 more rounds to the Dark Auction.
- Dark Auction
- Darker Auction (Scorpius)
When Scorpius is not the elected Mayor, the loot pool order is as follows:
- Item Pool
- Book Pool
- Item Pool (Without the item rolled the first time)
- Flower Minion I
