Global Trade Market
Overview
The Global Trade Market is a server-wide trading system that allows players to buy and sell crafting resources, tools, and currencies with each other without needing to meet in person. Instead of setting up a player vendor, you simply drop items into a Global Market Box, set your prices, and your goods become instantly available to every player on the shard. Payments are handled automatically — gold goes directly to your bank, and purchased items go straight to the buyer's backpack.
The system is powered by the Vita-Nex framework and operates through a clean gump interface with categories, search, and transaction history.
Accessing the Global Market
There are two ways to access the Global Trade Market:
Main Street Box
A Global Market Box (a blue crate) is located on Main Street. Simply double-click it to open the market interface. You can also drop items directly onto the box to add them to your stock.
Personal Box
You can purchase your own Global Market Box from the Token Vendor and place it in your house. This gives you convenient access to the market from home, and works exactly the same as the public box on Main Street.
What Can Be Traded
The Global Market accepts specific categories of items. You cannot list just anything — only items that fall into the supported categories:
| Category | Item Types |
|---|---|
| Currencies | Vendor tokens and other tradeable currency items |
| Resources — Granite | All granite types |
| Resources — Leather | All hides and leather (including custom types like Ethereal, Daemonic, Shadow, Frost, etc.) |
| Resources — Metal | All ore and ingots (including custom types like Platinum, Electrum, Toxic, etc.) |
| Resources — Scales | All scale types |
| Resources — Wood | All logs and boards (including custom types like Ebony, Bamboo, PurpleHeart, Redwood, Petrified, etc.) |
| Tools — Crafting | Crafting tools, Gargoyle's tools, Pet Leashes, and similar |
| Tools — Harvesting | Harvest tools (pickaxes, hatchets, etc.) |
| Tools — Runic | All runic crafting tools |
Items that cannot be traded on the Global Market include soulbound (blessed) items, insured items, quest items, and non-empty containers.
The Market Interface
When you double-click a Global Market Box, a gump window opens with two main sections accessible from the left-side tree menu: Market and Stock.
Market View (Buying)
The Market section shows all items currently listed for sale by other players across the entire shard. Items are organized into the same categories listed above — click a category in the tree to browse its listings.
Each listing shows the item's icon, name, amount, price, and a Buy button. Clicking Buy will purchase the item using gold from your bank account or backpack. The item is delivered directly to your backpack (or bank box if your pack is full).
You can also toggle Show My Stock to see your own listings mixed in with the market view, which is useful for checking how your prices compare to other sellers.
Stock View (Selling)
The Stock section shows only the items you have added to your personal trade container. This is where you manage your listings. Each item row shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Icon | A small image of the item. |
| Name | The item's name, quantity, or charges if applicable. |
| Price | The price per unit. Click the price to change it. The system remembers your last price for each item type. |
| Sell | A toggle button (bag icon) that enables or disables the listing. Green means the item is actively for sale; red means it is in your stock but not listed. |
| Reclaim | An X button that removes the item from the market and returns it to your backpack. |
How to Sell Items
- Open a Global Market Box (on Main Street or in your house).
- Drop items onto the box. Each item will be added to your personal trade container and a message will confirm it was added to your stock-pile. You can also drag items into the crate window.
- Open the market interface by double-clicking the box.
- Navigate to Stock in the left-side tree menu, then select a category.
- Set a price by clicking the price field next to each item. Type in your desired price per unit.
- Enable the listing by clicking the bag icon in the Sell column. The icon turns green when the item is actively listed on the market.
Your item is now visible to all players browsing the market. When someone buys it, the gold is deposited directly into your bank account.
How to Buy Items
- Open a Global Market Box.
- Navigate to Market in the left-side tree menu.
- Browse categories or use the Search feature to find specific items by name.
- Find an item you want and click the Buy button.
- The cost is automatically withdrawn from your bank account (or backpack), and the item is placed in your backpack.
Bulk Actions
When viewing your Stock, the footer section on the right side of the gump provides bulk management buttons:
- Enable All — Marks all items on the current page as actively trading.
- Disable All — Removes all items on the current page from active listings (they stay in your stock but are hidden from buyers).
- Reclaim All — Returns all items on the current page to your backpack, removing them from the market entirely.
Each bulk action will ask for confirmation before proceeding. These actions only affect items on the current page, not your entire stock.
Transaction History
The footer section on the left side of the gump has three tabs:
- Stats — Shows a summary of your trading activity, including total stock value broken down by currency type.
- Sales — A log of items you have sold, showing the item name, amount, total price, and currency used.
- Purchases — A log of items you have bought from other sellers.
These records are stored per account, so all characters on your account share the same transaction history.
Stock Limit
Each account can have up to 100 items listed in their trade container at a time. Plan your listings carefully — focus on items that are in demand rather than listing everything you have.
Price Memory
The system remembers the last price you set for each item type. When you add a new stack of the same resource you previously sold, it will automatically fill in your last used price. You can always change it before enabling the listing.
Multi-Character Support
The Global Trade system is account-based. All characters on your account share the same trade container and stock. If you list items on one character, you can manage them, reclaim them, or view your transaction history from any other character on the same account.
If you delete a character that has items in the trade container, the system automatically moves the stock to another character on the same account.
Currency
The default trading currency is Gold. When you buy an item, gold is withdrawn from your bank account. When you sell an item, gold is deposited to your bank account. The system supports the account gold system, so there is no physical gold cap limitation.
Tips
- Check market prices before listing — Browse the Market section for your item type to see what other players are charging. Pricing competitively will help your items sell faster.
- Use the search feature — If you are looking for a specific resource or tool, the search bar filters listings by name so you do not have to browse through every category.
- Keep your box at home — Buying a Global Market Box from the Token Vendor and placing it in your house lets you manage your listings and shop the market without traveling to Main Street.
- Runic tools are valuable — Runic crafting tools are one of the most sought-after items on the market. If you get them from BOD rewards, consider listing them.
- Custom resources from Daily Quests — The bounty quests at the Huntmaster's Lodge reward custom crafting materials (Platinum Ingots, Ethereal Leather, Petrified Boards, etc.) that are always in demand on the Global Market.
- Reclaim before logging off for extended periods — While your items are safe in the trade container, reclaiming unsold stock ensures nothing is tied up if you plan to be away for a while.
