Purpose
The Dark Auction is an event that takes place throughout Skyblock once every three Skyblock Days. When the Dark Auction starts, players can sign up to enter the Dark Auction to buy rare items.
Event Details
The Dark Auction will only show up on the calendar after the player enters it once. It only lasts for 20 minutes.
When the Dark Auction starts, the NPC Sirius spawns at (91,75,176). By right clicking him, the player can sign up to enter the Dark Auction. After signing up, Sirius will choose the richest players to let into the Dark Auction.
Currently, you need at least 400,000 Coins to enter the Dark Auction.
After about 10 seconds of players being able to sign up, Sirius will choose from the richest players out of the players who signed up and disperse them evenly across Dark Auction servers across the network.
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.
