Dark Auction

The Dark Auction is a short auction where Sirius sells rare items to the highest bidder. It opens every 3 SkyBlock days at midnight; the next dates are listed below.¹

Taking part

When it starts, Sirius shows up and lets players in, but only if you carry at least 400,000 coins in your purse.¹

How bidding works

• Each round shows one item for 5 seconds, then bidding opens for 10 seconds; every new bid resets that timer.¹
• Bids go up in set steps, not any amount you like, and every losing bid is refunded.¹
• If the winner disconnects before claiming, the coins are still taken and the item goes to Jerry's Lost & Found.¹
• If nobody bids, the item is skipped.¹

What is sold

There are 5 rounds, or 8 while Scorpius is mayor with his Darker Auctions perk.¹ Each round draws from its own pool of possible items, and an item that has already appeared can't come up again in a later round of the same auction.¹
