Players have a variety of means to market their items. In-game, players can either use their [[personal store]] which is designed solely for displaying items (purchase thru zen is disabled), or use the player command [[/post]] to have a real-time announcement of what they are selling or buying.<br>

⚖️
The InfinityMU Market
Commerce & Trading Hub
The Market is the heartbeat of InfinityMU. It is where players buy, sell, and trade items, ranging from basic crafting materials to high-tier "Uber" sets.

The main trading hub is located in Lorencia (Server 3). This is where players set up personal stores, recruit for guilds, and socialize.

Trading Channels

There are three primary ways to buy and sell items on InfinityMU.
🏪 1. Personal Store
Players can open a personal shop to display items to passersby in Lorencia.
Usage: Press I (Inventory) → Click Personal Store button.
Important: In InfinityMU, the Personal Store is used for Display Purposes Only. You cannot buy items directly with Zen. You must whisper the player to negotiate a trade.
💬 2. Global Chat (/post)
For real-time announcements visible to the entire server, use the Post command.
  • Command: /post [Message]
  • Requirement: Level 400
  • Visibility: Seen by all players in the server, regardless of map.
  • Cost: Zen is consumed per message.
🌐 3. Forum Market
For high-value trades or offline selling, the Forum Market Place is the absolute best venue.
  • Organization: The forum is divided by class (BK, SM, Elf, etc.) for easy browsing.
  • Benefit: Your items remain listed and visible even when you are offline.

Secure Trading (Anti-Scam)

🛡️
Use Big Trade Assistance (BTA)
For high-stakes transactions (e.g., involving real money, large credit amounts, or Uber items), do NOT trade alone. To avoid scams during large transactions, you should request an Official Moderator or Game Master to supervise the trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to trade?
Lorencia (Server 1) is the official capital and busiest market venue for the community.
What currency should I use?
While Zen is used for potions, the player market heavily uses Ring of Wind (ROW) and WebShop Credits.
Why can't I use /post?
You must reach Level 400 to unlock the ability to use the global chat command.
Can I buy items with Zen?
No. The Personal Store is strictly for display only. You must use the Trade window to exchange items and currencies.
