★ List Pets on the Open Market

Introduced November 24, 2024

Players can now list items, Talents, and pets for sale through our new Marketplace: The Open Market through the Edit/Assign section of your Player Profile. Other players can buy these items from you directly and the full process is automated! The Vault may also periodically buy up items listed on the Market to give to Guilds, Organizations, and/or NPCs; The Vault will usually only buy items that have been on the market for 2+ RL months. I've attached a picture of what this looks like, but here's what each field means:

  • List for Sale: If you switch this from "No" to "Yes" the item will then be visible on the Open Market page.
  • Default Sale Price: This will be used as either the flat sale price or, if you allow Haggling, the initial price.
  • Buyers Can Haggle?: If you switch this from "No" to "Yes", players will be able to either buy the item outright for the Default Sale Price OR attempt to Haggle with the system up to three times.
  • Minimum Acceptable Price: If Haggling is enabled, you can tell the system to never accept offers beneath the amount set here. For example, if you set the Default Sale Price to 300 and the Minimum Acceptable Price to 100, the item will sell for between 100 and 300c (unless the player offers more for some reason LOL).
  • Would you be willing to accept a trade? If this is marked as "Yes", a player may reach out to you privately to discuss alternate arrangements with you. Once you've agreed on the terms, use your private support channel to let Signe know the details and she'll manually update from her side - you may want to switch "List for Sale" back to "No" to prevent the sale from going through in the meantime!
