Public Market

The Public Market is a centralized, NPC-run trading post where players can list their goods for sale. Once listed, your items are added to a shared marketplace accessible, where they are sorted into categories and displayed alongside similar items. This allows for convenient buying and selling without the need for direct bartering or face-to-face trade, and is especially helpful for players across different time zones, or for those who want to sell items on the fly without the long-term commitment of managing a personal storefront.

Custom shops and commercial properties are restricted to those with the Mercantilism skill.

Accessing the Market

The Public Market can be accessed by double-clicking a Public Market Clerk NPC (located within the Market) or by double-clicking a nearby Stock Bin. This will open the Marketplace interface, along with a container where you can drop items from your inventory. Items placed into this container will be added to your Stock for management and sale.

Listing Items for Sale

To list an item, drop it into the Trade Box. This adds it to your personal stock.

Items in your stock are not automatically listed for sale.

To make an item available to others, click the checkmark in the Sell column.

To remove an item from the market and reclaim it, click the X in the Claim column.

Trade Ledger

Your Ledger is character-bound and tracks all of your Public Market activity. It’s located in the lower half of the Public Market interface, where you can view your sales records, purchase history, and statistics on the left side of the footer.

Stock management tools are found on the right side, including bulk actions like marking items for sale or reclaiming them. Note: bulk actions only apply to items visible on the current page, so be sure to navigate between pages when managing a large inventory.
