Marketplace Channel

Marketplace Shops are player-owned shops that exist in a separate channel that players can get to either manually by travel, or via teleportation.

To find out the details of how to physically travel to the housing areas via maps, please refer to the individual marketplace areas.

Placards


-Marketplace Teleportation Items-

Shopmaster's Keys and Placards, formerly and concurrently also known as Magic House Key and Flyers, are used to transport the player to the Marketplace Channel.
Right click the placard and select "Use" to see the list and be given the option to move to the seller's Marketplace Shop.
Right click the keys and select "Use" to be given the option to move to your Marketplace Shop.
- Both can only be used once.
- Both can be used inside of the Marketplace Channel.
- Using either outside the Marketplace Channel will create a one-time use Return Ticket that will teleport the character to their original location.
  - Return Tickets will expire after 3 hours.
  - You may have more than one Return Ticket, but Return Tickets do not label where they send you.
- Return Tickets can only be used inside of the Marketplace Channel.
Shopmaster's Key never expire.
Placards have the option of destroying an individual Placard, or all Placards at once.
Placards expire 24 hours after the seller starts the ad.
- However, if the seller starts a new ad, the expired Placards will become usable again.
You can only have one Shopmaster's Key at a time.
You can only have one Placard per seller at a time.
None of these items can be traded or stored. They can only be destroyed or used.

How to use the Marketplace Shop ad board to receive a Placard:

Open a Marketplace Shop board. They are located throughout towns in Uladh and Belvast.
Search for an item or seller, if you don't know what you want, just click search with nothing entered.
Click the "Receive" button beside the item, this will put the Placard in your inventory. You can take one Placard per seller listed.
Click "Go to the Seller's Shop" to visit the seller's Marketplace Shop immediately. It can also be used at a later date. Placards expire 24 hours from when the ad was placed.

The shop owner must have at least 1 item for sale for the Placard to be available from the shop ad board.
The owner can ban users or entire guilds from being able to enter the shop if they choose.

The return ticket holder must not mount the pet. Doing so will cause both the return ticket holder and the passengers to unmount. This is not a bug, but intentional, since the pet would normally be unsummoned on channel change.

There is a potential for being logged out when using the Placard during busy periods of the day.

Players on the pet will be sent to the least busy channel of numerical order (1 if not busy, 2 if 1 is, 3 if 1 and 2 are, etc.) at the moment the player with the return ticket selects a channel. If all channels are listed as Busy or none are, this will be channel 1. All passengers will arrive on the same channel.

Newer items such as the Friend Summon Capsules and changes to Moongates and Return Tickets have generally made Placard/Flyer transportation slower than most other options.

Before Return Tickets were updated to expire, they were a great method to access difficulty or impossible locations. These included: Tir Chonaill (Another World), Bangor (Another World), Forest of Souls, Ceo Island, Solea's Center, Bean Rua, and even Ladeca.
- Return Tickets created before the change do not expire.
Attempting to use a Placard in a Homestead will give the notice: "It can't be used in the Shadow Realm."

For privacy purposes, the username and prices on the items has been erased to ensure the privacy of the player.
