Players appraise a set of lots under a time limit and bid against three rivals, with the goal of building a fortune on accurate valuations rather than raw spending. Its initial limited-time event ran from July 29, 2026, following that day's update, until August 19, 2026 at 05:59 (UTC+8). Version 1.3 added it to Hethereau Hobbies on August 19.22Setup44The mode uses its own dedicated currency, Gold Shells, so bidding does not draw on the standard economy. Before entering an auction, players freely choose an Auction Assistant and a Device Set. Both feed the appraisal step: the Assistant and the equipped items supply intel that helps estimate what the lots are actually worth.66There are three auction tiers. Each tier offers different lots and carries its own entry requirements, so higher tiers gate access behind progress rather than being available from the start.88Bidding Rounds1010An auction runs for five rounds. In each round the player estimates the total value of the lots within the time limit and submits a bid. A sufficiently aggressive bid can close the auction early, and the multiplier required to do so falls with every round that passes.1212RoundInstant-Win ThresholdRound 1Bid more than 2x the second-highest bidRound 2Bid more than 1.6x the second-highest bidRound 3Bid more than 1.3x the second-highest bidRound 4Bid more than 1.1x the second-highest bidRound 5No multiplier: the highest bidder simply wins all lots1414Winning early takes every lot on the table at once, which is why the early rounds demand such a large premium. Waiting for the threshold to drop is cheaper but hands rivals four extra chances to close the auction first.1515Ties and Round 61717If players are tied in Round 5, the auction goes to a sixth round. Only the players who tied may bid again, and the highest bidder takes all lots. If that round ties as well, the auction ends with no sale and nobody takes the lots.1919Overbidding and the Loss Rebate2121Bidding above what the lots are worth is punished, but the penalty is shared out rather than simply lost. If the winning bidder finishes the settlement phase at a loss, each of the other three players receives a bonus equal to 10 percent of that loss. A reckless winner therefore pays their rivals as well as overpaying for the lots, which makes disciplined appraisal the core skill of the mode.2323Collectibles2525Any collectibles won are added automatically to the player's Collection. From there each piece can either be sold outright or put on display, and displayed collectibles generate income over time. Selling converts a win into immediate value, while displaying trades that for a longer payout, so the choice depends on whether the player needs Gold Shells now or is building a passive return.2727Rewards2929Completing event quests and filling out the Item Index earns the following:3131RewardType"Highest Bidder Wins" titlePlayer title"Choice" avatar frameCosmetic profile item"Deal!" namecardCosmetic profile itemAnnulithPremium currencyFonsStandard currency3333Related Pages3434PageDescriptionHethereau HobbiesHub for the game's side activities and mini-gamesCurrenciesFull list of currencies and what each one buysMysterious CargoAnother delivery and payout side activity3636Version 1.4 Additions3737Version 1.4 added collectible types and Blackbird as a new Auction Assistant.39+Version 1.3 Auction Features41+Version 1.3 added seasonal Profit and Wealth leaderboards, seasonal quests and rewards, venue conditions, preset quick chat, 20 new collectibles, and spawn adjustments including a slightly increased Eternal Heart rate.
