Chương 858: Player Auction and World Status

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to Umbra's 15th Monthly Player Auction !" Amber announced to a crowd chock-full of waiting buyers made up of both powerful NPC factions and player guilds. 

Unlike before, the Rank 7 Shop no longer exclusively sold Umbra items, rather it functioned like most normal auction, taking items from sellers and advertising them for sale. Then, upon sale in the monthly auction, they would take a cut from the proceeds. 

Naturally, the majority of goods sold were still from Umbra. Also, because it was a player auction, most of the items were vied for by players, since most of the items were provided by Umbra's players. 

Case in point, when Amber started the auction, most of the items being auctioned were at the Rare-Rank at the minimum. This was because even the basic Tradeskill members of Umbra had long reached the Expert Rank of their main Tradeskill, with the majority hitting the Master Rank.
