Auctions last for a period of 23h, with 1h in between. Their planned start is at 10PM GMT+1 but they can run for longer because of the anti-snipe feature. In case there’s a clear winner on an auction, it can be ended early to speed up the item distribution process. If an auction ends earlier or later than the designated 24 hour period the next auction will still begin at 10PM GMT+1. The “in between'' time is the time that will be lost (or gained).

These timings allow us to not only to make sure anyone can bid (since we’re all from different time zones) but also to make sure that all events are registered and the DKP is recalculated before starting a new auction.

In case there’s a clear winner on an auction, it can be closed before the end time. The next auction can be moved forward. A special announcement will be made in these cases.

5.1 Auction Rules

a) There is priority (main class) and non-priority bidding. Skill books and weapons will always have a priority bidder. Armor and accessories will not

b) You must have an Epic Tier Class or Agathion to bid on anything

c) You may NOT bid on an item if:

• You already own the item
• You’ve already won the auction for a specific item.
• Books - You have already learned the spell
• Gear (Accessories, Armor, Weapons) - You’ve already won this item with DKP

d) You MAY bid on an item if:

• If you don’t own the item
• Books - if you have not learned the spell
• Gear - You did not win the auction previously, OR, you owned the item prior to the auction from personal acquisition (field mob drops, market purchase, trades) but lost it (destroyed from overenchant, sold, etc)

e) Items won from DKP auction may not be traded outside the alliance. You may make a fair trade, item for item, within the alliance. Be forewarned, you will not get to bid on an item you’ve traded away because of 5.1 - c) - ii)

f) DKP auction items may NOT be sold or given away under any circumstance (in or outside the alliance)

g) Failure to follow these rules may result in DKP penalty up to removal from alliance depending on the severity. (DON’T BE A LEEV)

h) When the auction ends, leaders will make sure people have the epic tier and 206 diamonds for the trade. Failing to do so will result in your DKP being deducted, you not getting the item, and the item being auctioned again
