>>Several of us who participated in Jeihrem's initial invasion event are blocked from certain locations where some GF shops are. Can this block be temporarily lifted during Guildfest to access the shops? Or can the shops move to one of the more neutral locations where we can enter? Thanks!

I'm afraid not. Roleplaying consequences do sometimes end up being inconvenient in certain other situations down the line. The particular shops are where they are for RP reasons, so this was not an oversight.

There are other Necromancer GF shops in other places that those so impacted will find they can get into just fine.

>>Is there going to be a guild auction this year?

Nope. The only Necromancer-only auction that's occurred was related to a specific storyline surrounding Terald and guild artifacts a few years back.

If/when another Necro-only auction is planned, there will be lots of upfront warning, both in-game and via calendar entries and the like.

For those of you who might not have made the trek to find the tattoo shop, you can now peruse the available tattoos on Elanthipedia.

If you haven't figured out where it might be, looking at what they offer may also help you figure that out.

This shop is only around through the end of Guildfest.
