The Trove is Retired

We are retiring the Trove. Instead, we are focusing on raffles, with the really high-end Trove items moving to the Auction. This includes Private Property Trove.
Raffle Updates:
Raffles have been updated to allow for the winning items to be sent directly to the winner via the PLAYER MAIL system. The entry fee for all raffles will be 100 silvers. Winners will pay a COD of a minimum of 1,000 soul shards, with others being higher based on the item being offered. All raffles will list COD costs on their signs where they apply.
How We Came to Pricing
We found the total of all service passes sold, multiplied it by cost, then divided it by services received. We are pretty confident this is a fair and equitable service cost per item. It adds value to your soul shards, too.
Last Year’s Passes
For those of you who found yourselves inundated with passes, fear not. You’ll be able to destroy the pass for 20 barrel keys.
