A safe trade window, personal market stalls, the auction house and mail: every way players can trade with each other.
Trade is what keeps an MMORPG alive. We designed the trade system to leave no room for scams.
How a trade works
- Click a player and choose Trade from the menu. You can ask from up to 6 metres away.
- Both sides put items and gold into the window.
- An item placed in the window cannot be taken back. Gold can only go up: if you offered 500 you can raise it to 700 but never lower it to 300, so last-second switches do not work.
- The side that presses Trade first has its offer locked; the other side can then only add.
- Nothing changes hands until both sides press Trade.
- On confirmation the server checks everything again and swaps it all in one step. A full bag or missing gold cancels the trade.
- Closing the window or walking more than 15 metres away cancels it.
Other ways to trade
- Personal market stall (B): sell items at your own prices. Sales pay a 3% tax. Your stall can stay open for up to 12 hours after you log out.
- Auction house (F9): list items on a market reachable from anywhere in the game.
- Mail (X): send items and messages to other players.
Note: the game is in development; values may change during beta testing.
