[Suggestion] Marketplace

[krneki]

Ok, I didn't find any posts about this so I guess it's worth a shot mentioning it as a suggestion.
Well the amount of stalls in argent is growing rapidly over the time and so is the time of finding any particular seller items. I would suggest of some kind of NPC with which we could browse through all the avaible stalls in one place for the current city. This way it would be easier to sell and find items which the players would otherwise need quite some time to check in stalls. Not only that, but it would be really helpful with getting a clear picture of current prices for different items.
Any thoughts on that? Let me know

Hmm. What IF?
NPC that opens a Dialog where you can search for Item on Market.
If found. It will show a Button, clicking upon it will deduct 30-50k gold and show list of open stalls with item you where searching for.
Plus as addition, balanced min/max/avg price that item was bought for in last week.

That sounds cool, I especially like the fact that you have to pay some money to get a quick view of where your needed item is sold at and at what price, instead of having to waste a lot of time to view all the stalls. Laziness should always come with a price

With some balancing, a new market system could be made, I liked the idea Zankza once mentioned on Discord, about having a site which records item price drops/increases and shows the item whose price most dropped/increased in the past X time. Although it's copied from RS ot somethong, I think it's another cool idea.

kinda like a auction?
or like a databse/market to show items.

What leba sayd about market system, i think thats nearly impossible, since the stalls can be manipulated into tricking people with fake prices.
Whats on my mind is, a npc that searches all stalls for a specific item, and for how much that player sells it. Then there would be coordinates.

Right, I haven't thought of that, clever point, especially with offline stalls for pet lvling which stall, say, a fairy coin for 99m.

It could however be player-contributed. Of course, not everyone would have access to contributing, but a way for new players to have a general idea of prices would definitely help in preventing them from getting screwed. Although I'm all up for people making mistakes and learning from them, players like those are definitely rare nowadays.

That's why it should record only finished deal, to calculate average price.

Well @Developer @Zankza , pretty much like Great Exchange in Runescape. Boosted economy and no more ppl shouting what they were selling in world 1 lol. But it would reduce the number of online users :/

For a start it could be like a giant stall where you can buy slots from to post your items.

Exactly!
About the 99m fairy coin stalls, what if there was implemented a stall fee for every item based on his price? Say like 2% fee on every item.

i dont want this game to be like runescape or world of warcraft. this game is my escape from those games

I bet it won't have that effect. if it had fee.
Also helps to normalize and reduce prices.

a dialog for that money amount is not good enough. Better if there is a filter function, say I want to buy fairy coin, when I ctrl+s, all stalls disappear except fairy coin stall that may be fun.
cheers. "just a wild idea. don't take it very seriously
