Trades with NPC shops

After having chosen a profession, players are deposited into a small courtyard. This courtyard has some hidden shops to the right, behind the bank. These are the NPC shops where players can trade gold pieces (GPs), the game's main currency, for items.

To conduct a trade with an NPC, the player must click on the NPC with nothing in their hand. This will engage the NPC.

Once the NPC is engaged, a menu will come up with an item in the first slot of the item bar. Hover over the item to see prices and click on it to begin the transaction.

When the item is clicked, text will appear on the screen asking the player if they would like to trade, and then offer options. Tap on the "T" key to open the chat, make a selection using the numbers or options indicated, and tap the "Enter" key to conclude the transaction.

This is a good way to gather some resources early in the game, but be aware that these NPC shops will only sell to a player once per day. It is also worth noting that players have limited funds in the beginning, so it would be wise to explore trades with other players for competitive prices.

Trades with other players

It is not a good idea to simply "throw" items at other players. This could lead to other players stealing and this server will not reimburse cheated players for their items. To this end, a secure trading system has been devised.

To engage another player in a trade, a player must crouch ("shift" key) then click on the player with whom the transaction will be made. This will bring up an item menu that has been divided with iron bars in a cross formation. The left side is one's own side of the transaction and the right side is the player one has engaged. Beneath the horizontal line of iron bars, on the left side, are the players options for trade.

To trade with GPs, drag a GP from its location on the bar, not from your inventory, and place it in the upper left quadrant. That is one single GP for trade. To increase the amount (+1), left click on the GP beneath the fence. This should update the quantity of the GP in the trade square (above the fence). Hover over the GP in the trade square to confirm the desired quantity as it currently is not otherwise indicated with a white number in the bottom left of the item, like you would normally see when stacking items.

When the desired payment had been confirmed, click on the green wool to show the other party that you are ready to trade.
